Ron’s nickname for Beta is Beto the Pedo.
Scary specter on the horizon . . . Robert Francis O’Rourke, nicknamed “Beto” for no particularly good reason, seeing as how he has about as much Latino blood as Lizardbreath Warren has Cherokee.
Calls himself a “moderate” Democrat but tends to vote straight ticket with the radicals on everything except term limits (which he favors, BTW). Believes climate is perhaps our most serious threat today and somehow got the notion in his head that he’s qualified to run the whole shootin match from 1600 Penn’s Woods Lane.
So I did some readin up on him. Gotta say, he definitely has more real-world experience in gubmint and management than DingleBarry did when he ran, but when a guy who wants to be PotUS says entering this country without authority shouldn’t be a crime and it’s o.k. for athletes to kneel during the anthem, my hackles tend to get up.
Pedo O’Rourke . . . a bucktoothed, crook-nosed, arm-flapping Irish dork with a mild case of ethnic delusion and a serious case of importance inflation. My guess is that he’s marginally NOT stupid enough to think he can actually pull off a Soetoro and get the nomination outright in his own right, but may drag in enough pop support from teenyboppers and cash from hollywooders to get picked for the Biden Veep spot, and thereby a ticket for 2024 when Gropey Joe will be too old.
He’s NOT a strong supporter of gun rights but believes in relaxed restrictions on immigration, marijuana, LGBTQ rights, protecting DREAMers, impeaching and indicting Trump, and taking a knee by pro athletes during the anthem. He also supports single-payer universal health care, abortion, and gay marriage. Supported HRC for PotUS, too.
Perhaps the biggest knock I have on Pedo, even if he IS a centrist, is that he’s been endorsed by such people as LeBron James, Ellen DeGeneres, Willie Nelson, Jim Carrey, and numerous Hollywood airheads. My biggest concern is that he reminds me too much of a white Soetoro, and I lived through that error.
Less than two full days after his initial formal announcement of candidacy for the 2020 Dem PotUS nomination, his campaign swing through Iowa morphed into a full-blown apology for jokes he made about his wife and some stuh-RANGE things he wrote when he was younger.
He also has met with Soundbyte Al (Sharpton), always a huge plus for politicians who want to be taken seriously, and announced that he will be meeting with him again soon.
What disturbs me about a “Beto” candidacy is that people seem to like him as some kind of “boy-next-door-with-buck-teeth-and-a-guitar” who isn’t afraid to own up to past foxpaws and can raise money better’n a meth dealer in Nogales.
In a poll of Democrats concerning people already declared in the running for 2020, Pedo beats out EVERYbody except Joe Biden in the favorable-versus-unfavorable impression ratio. Biden’s is right at 7, and his is 5.4, notably higher than Sanders’, which is 5.0. All the rest are below 5.
AND, as a virtual unknown in what’s still a red state, he raised more than DOUBLE the money raised by any other candidate for congress last year (not counting PACs), over $80 million. And half of that was from small donor contributions. Ted Cruz raised only $30 mil.
What’s frightening is the level of name recognition he’s building and his remarkable ability to attract donors. He’s already more popular than all the other candidates except Sanders and Biden, and in light of what happened in the 08 genelec, this guy could be flyin that Resolute Desk soon, if not in 2021, then 2025. And that’s scary, ‘cause Murkan elections are nuttin but popularity contests.
Records show that as a Congressman, he voted
AGAINST legislation to stop late-term abortions.
AGAINST legislation to end taxpayer-funding of Planned Parenthood.
AGAINST efforts to repeal Obamacare.
AGAINST the Keystone XL pipeline.
AGAINST a resolution opposing carbon taxes
AGAINST legislation to cut off federal grants to sanctuary cities.
AGAINST a resolution honoring the brave men and women of ICE
AGAINST legislation to stop the Pentagon from funding sex changes in the military.
Clearly an albino Soetoro with just a few more primo boxtops. He would undo everything DJT has accomplished and put us back on the DingleBarry one-way track to dissolution. Here’s a quote from his failed senate campaign:
“Black men, unarmed, black teenagers, unarmed, and black children, unarmed, are being killed at a frightening level right now, including by members of law enforcement without accountability and without justice.”
Yeah, like we need another one of those in the White House.
He has Irish and Welsh ancestry. In his infancy, his family gave him the nickname “Beto”, a common Spanish nickname for first names ending in “-berto”, initially to distinguish him from his namesake grandfather. Just another fake.
If you have ever lived near the border you would know that the majority of kids are Hispanic and they all have nicknames. Since his name is Robert it was only logical that his friends called him Beto. He is not claiming to be Hispanic. I was called Gerardo because my name is Gary. It is also a way they accept you as a friend.
He’s just another on the list of Dems for whom I could never vote. If the Stupid Party had put up Mittens in ’16, I’d have had a hard time choosin’ him if the opposition had run Webb instead of Cankles. Ain’t it a shame when two major Parties can do no better than the same old hacks, or this clown, who reminds me of Pajama Boy?
I wouldn’t want this sumbitch dating my sister, let alone running the country.
Well, when I was a teenager, my Chicano hermano called me “guero” ’cause I spoke Tex-Mex with him and his family but had blonde hair and blue eyes with typical “bolillo” skin color, along with a completely Anglo name.
My implication about the Beto “apodo” was that it’s NOT intended as a “mode” any more than was Warren’s cultural appropriation of Amerind culture.
I mean, after all, she did it as a tribute, not for any personal advantage or gain of any kind, right?
And my youngest son’s name is Richard, so naturally his Pinay mother calls him “Icking.” One of our grandsons is named Nicholas, so she calls him “Nikitik.” Our elder daughter’s name is Elizabeth, and the wife calls her “Betuay.” Nicknames . . . who knows.
She calls me lotsa things, such as “tarantado,” “kontrabida,” “buwisit,” “intrimitido,” and on occasion “basagulero.”
No problem, so long as she doesn’t call me late for dinner. “Putaninga ka” is even o.k., but I watch my back when the “ka” becomes “mo” and the phrase is punctuated with an exclamation mark and some heated tone.
Plus,,,he ran from the LAW after he rear-ended someone.
Yes he was young, but this accident assures us that his internal brain has issues.
Rich Daddy syndrome, immature still at his recent age.
I love hearing the left-tards claim O’Rourke is so “Kennedy-esque” or something. Yeah? Just remember what crap-weasels 3 of the Kennedy brothers were.
I see the Mick in the same light as Alexandria Empty Cortex. I
have referred to them as brain-dead socialist Ken and Barbie
dolls. So the guy learned Spanish from the maids and nannies,
big deal! He can play a guitar, whoopy do! Another failed 3-
chord new age heavy metal garage band looser.
As for his hacking abilities, I have known high-level hardware
and software hacks. The odds of him being anything other than
a brain-dead teenage code kitten are about zero percent. A code
kitten is someone who steals or uses the work of others. I doubt
Beto the Mick has written a single line of code in his life!
If you want to see this slacker for what he is, O’Rourke is like the
slacker demon seed of Lori Laughlin or Felicity Huffman.
PS Denny, I just read on Breitbart that Slow-Joe Biden is
considering Stacie Abrahms Tank for his running mate.
I have yet to see anything like the cluster of dunces that
is running for the presidency. If the GOP does not wipe
the Donks out in a tsunami in 2020, it will be their fault!
VETO BETO………Really ? He is just another in a long list of Presidential wannabes courtesy of the Democratic stable of Jackasses. If this is the best the Democrats can come up with , their list of required qualifications is a rather short
one.
Kennedy-esque ? Well he is too young to have screwed Marilyn Monroe as Jack & Bobbie did ,,,,,,,,,So what bridge did he drive off of & who was left in the car?
We do have to be concerned as to how many millennial`s will vote for this clown.
I have some cousins that think Beto hung the moon. Where their dementia came from is not known, but I have a feeling it’s hereditary. Regardless, they’re intelligent, and dangerous, in my opinion. I’m beginning to wonder why my relatives didn’t choke them to death, when they could have done it with a sweet potato vine..
Can not stand his speaking mannerisms with the swing arms and grabbing his chest. Those writings he created when he was 16 are psychologically very disturbing. He came close to Ted Cruz only because it was more of a “hate Cruz” vote versus love for the beto.
Master Beto
