Joe Kennedy’s new deceit
As you may know, a person named Joseph L. Kennedy (no relation to the Kennedy family) is running as an independent libertarian in the upcoming Senate election. I disagree with this immensely, as he is just trying to confuse people by making them think he’s THAT Joe Kennedy, which is incredibly disingenuous. He is nothing like the other Kennedy, and is a far-right teabagger. I sincerely hope that Coakley does get him included in the debates, as it will expose him for who he really is, and will hurt Scott Brown in the process. Well, he has come out with a new lie recently. According to the Boston Globe, “Kennedy says he voted in the last three presidential elections: for Al Gore in 2000, because he preferred his stance on the environment, for George W. Bush in 2004, because he did not want to oust a president in wartime, and for Bob Barr in 2008, because he is a Libertarian.” However, this is a lie. As his voting record will show, Kennedy did not vote in 2004 (see picture below). I am not sure what he is doing here. It seems like his best bet would be to make it seem that he didn’t vote for Bush, especially given that he is running to be John Kerry’s colleague in a state where Bush is despised. Apparently, he thinks it will fire up the tea party base or something. All I know is that this guy is loopier than Jack E. Robinson-a feat I never thought possible.
