Sean Bielat, a Republican running to replace U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, tells the Herald that he’d love to have support for any and all Super PACS in his battle against likely Democratic opponent Joe Kennedy III.
Sean Bielat: Bring on the super PAC money!

I’m surprised that Bielat is so open about this. I guess he means that he’d like cash from all the so-called “Superpacs” that are funding conservative Republican candidates in so many other states and districts.
I guess this also means that he wants donations from the very powerful banking, military, corporate, financial and related enterprises that pretty much already dominate things in Washington. So much for being an independent Republican voice in Washington. If the corporate interests fund Sean, they will expect him to push their agendas to the full.
Sure, Joe Kennedy is going to get a large number of donations because he is a Kennedy. That’s a given. But there will be a world of difference between Kennedy and Bielat as to the sources that provide these donations and what they will expect from them. I don’t think that anyone of my side of the aisle expects or really wants a return to Camelot. Joe Kennedy impresses me as the kind of person who will build on his family name to promote the kinds of programs and policies that I and a clear majority of the American people want. Any guy who resisted peer pressure in school by drinking milk instead
of booze, and who got his classmates to like him better for it, is the kind of self-starter we need in the 4th.
Fortunately SCOTUS has detemined that the US constitution allows people other than George Soros, the lawyers plaintiff bar, wall street, and the unions to exercise their right of free speech.
So thankfully the Kennedys and their cronies are not going to be able to buy this seat without (finally) some competition.
Mr. Burke obviously does not know Sean Bielat, or probably any Marines if he thinks anyone can expect anything of Sean other than what he thinks is right for the district and the country.
Other than Joe Kennedy thinking gasoline prices are too low and that Obamacare is great, do we have any clue what Joe Kennedy’s views are? If you think gas prices are too low, vote for Joe.
