Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

HAHAHA because Spanish people are so stupid that they think O'Rourke is a Spanish name, is that about right?

He's been called "Beto" since he was 5.

No, that’s not right or what I said at all. I’m sorry, but voters in general can be really lazy and will vote based on what they can glean from a person’s name. I admit to doing it myself when George P. Bush ran for something around here. For all I know, he’s the biggest liar/fraud out there but I have a generally postive view of the Bush family so, even though I should know better, I voted for him. I live in El Paso and I’m sorry if it’s uncomfortable but it’s true that having a Spanish or Mexican sounding name helps somewhat just as having “Kennedy” attached to your name is likely beneficial in other parts of the US.
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children


Of what I can read (I can't read his arms), I identify with everything written on him except queer because I'm hetero.

Feminist, atheist, vegan, ecologist, naturalist (kinda), slut (in my younger years)... I'm all that. I support human and animal rights. I support gay rights.

I think I agree with everything about that pic. I didn't like Beto before, but I guess I do now.

So voters in the general election are too stupid when they look at their ballots to see his name is actually not Mexican, and they're voting for him because they think they're electing a Mexican?

His "Spanish or Mexican" sounding nickname was given to him when he was 5. By his parents. That is a proven fact. You think Mom & Dad O'Rourke started spinning a yarn decades ago to fool voters? That's even more ingenious than Obama's parents calling a Hawaiian newspaper after he was born in Kenya because they knew that 47 years later he'd run for President.
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

By the way, why wasn't Hillary Clinton's last name on her signs? You don't think she wanted people to know she was once married to a President?

View attachment 67254073

Then there was this con, right?

View attachment 67254074

How about this one namer?

View attachment 67254075

And look at all those Bernie signs. In the middle of the Hillary signs. Who was Bernie pretending to be?

View attachment 67254076

You should unchannel yourself from Ted Cruz's failures to make it seem as if Beto is pretending to be Hispanic.

Why are you making assumptions about me while, at the same time, bashing someone else for making assumptions about you?
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

You know, I bet this is going to cause a lot of surprise but I think this is a disgraceful PoS thread. O'Rourke says enough dumb **** now that what he said or did thirty years ago is inconsequential. Anyone here what everything you said thirty or forty years ago being held up to the public for ridicule. If we keep this deep dive **** up we won't have anyone of value willing to run for office.

The only exception I would accept is if someone was 30+ and said or did some disturbing things. Deep diving into people's teenage years and 20's is pretty ridiculous.

Why do you even visit this place to talk politics if it’s just going to piss you off? Do you just want to bash righties and defend lefties without challenge?

I showed you examples of others who also used their first names only. What were they trying to hide about their last names exactly?
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

Except that you keep telling me that I’m saying something I’m not. Makes me wonder if your proud judgment of those of those on the right as being bad people is based more on some narrative in your mind than anything you’ve encountered. If you judge me to be some certain way due to my politics just ****ing tell me.

So go ahead and explain the first name only on the signs. I've shown you a few others who did the same thing. What were they trying to hide by not using their last names?

And why do you think people are too stupid to not realize he isn't Mexican?

I can fully confirm that you are basically Beto except that Beto doesn’t pretend to not be liberal.

I'm very pro gun. I support Trump's tax cut. I oppose capital gains and death taxes. I support privatization. I support cuts to welfare and entitlements. I support the capitalization of risk in regard to IPR. I'm fiscally conservative. On foreign policy, I'm a hawk.

There ain't a liberal club out there that will take me.



Why do you invent a character for me. Does it make you feel good to believe I'm a liar?

Uhm, your main defenders are liberal.
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

Uhm, you’re main defenders are liberal.

Because I'm progressive on most social issues and this is kinda a social environment. People don't much care if you disagree with their economic philosophy or the minutiae of foreign policy. But if you call them evil or subhuman as a result of who they are, they tend not to be your friend.

Go to the gun forum and see my supporters. TD first among them.

Go to a foreign policy forum and see my supporters. Almost exclusively conservatives.

Go to an economic forum and see my supporters. Only the darkest hearts.
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

Why do you think his last name isn’t on any of his campaign signs? Of course he’s being a little deceptive. To not see that, you have to really not want to.

It's not even remotely deceptive to any rational, sober adult. To assert that it is is to lie.

Where can I see you speak up for righties or cops?

Except that in Beto isn’t actually his name. Good grief, nobody here, Dems included, even bat an eye at acknowledging why Beto’s signs are the way they are.
 
Re: Beto O'Rourke, "Queer," "Slut," "Atheist," Hacker, Wrote of Running Over Children

I speak up for conservatives every time I argue economics or foreign policy. I never crap talk conservatives. You will not find a single post in my ten years here denigrating conservatives. I've defended Trump on a number of occasions including, "fine people" from day 1.


Regarding cops:

It is, and it's a greater threat to society worthy of every possible resource. When someone murders for money or "passion", it's not really a direct threat to the rest of us. It's a specific attack with a specific purpose. When someone kills a cop, it's a random act of lethal aggression against authority and our protectors. That person will kill anyone for any reason. They will certainly continue to kill until captured. They are a real and immediate threat to everyone, and they make our police sitting ducks in bright target uniforms.

It's different. It's worse, and it's a far greater threat to society.

Drones are awesome. Not using them for security would be stupid.

I'm for all that. And helping police recognize a deep problem and notify others.

I have nothing against cops and great respect for their service. You need your opponent to be a strawman for your "points" to make any sense. Your position is victimhood, nothing more.


You gonna keep lying to make yourself feel better?

It's what he's gone by his entire life. That you have to pretend that somehow using that name, since that's what he's universally known by and referred to as, is magically 'deceptive' reek's of desperation.

Esp. given the fact that you yourself are referring to him as 'Beto'.

You didn't say that. But you're saying that people would look at his name and think he's Mexican. So tell me what exactly you're saying.

I’m not desperate at all. He worries me a lot less than Bernie. He himself said he was willing to be molded by voters or something that and, besides, there is a tiny part of me that would like to see someone from El Paso be president.

Then why did you say that’s what I said? You’re not really interested in what “exactly” I’m saying, though, are you?
