Rhetorical q:
Why is it that these wealthy socialists always want to nail the taxpayer for all their do-good programs?

Project Veritas video

Beto campaign appears to use campaign funds for supplies for illegals

These people are so incredibly juvenile.

https://www.projectveritasaction.com/2018/11/01/beto/

Project Veritas Action Fund has released undercover video from current Congressman and US Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke’s campaign. The video exposes how his campaign staff appear to be illegally using campaign resources to buy supplies and help transport Honduran aliens.

I live in Texas and already voted. I’m in a heavily Republican area that features a former SEAL running for Congress - Dan Crenshaw. Hope everyone who can will vote for him.

No way Beto will win. Perhaps in 10 years after 2-3 million more illegals come in, but not yet.

Probably where a LOT of those 'campaign' donations were going to from the get go. Beta has raised FAR more money than Cruz (most of it from what I've heard from outside TX). And other Dhims on the ticket in TX don't like Beta because he's not spreading the wealth to them despite them being in districts where they could win. So most of that money given to him was so it could be laundered to the 'caravan' is my guess.

^^^ Occam's Razor time. If 'Bater spends money on illegals, then he's virtue signaling, which counts as campaigning for office if you're a Democrat. No dark conspiracy involved, just a lot of childish thinking.

Why childish thinking? Because if there's one problem 'Bater's campaign hasn't quite managed to figure out, it's how to deploy all those contributions in an effective way. The "logic" involved would be that all those donations from out of state constitute virtue signaling to begin with, and campaign ads don't seem to be doing him any good anyway.

For one thing, the lifestyles of the ultra rich are not affected by these kinds of tax policy, so they have no real skin in the game. I guess it makes them feel good about themselves and earns them praise among the beautiful people in Hollywood.

They're hypocrites, but speaking in these platitudes is, I am sure, a narcotic for their conscience.

Like LeBron James being a Democrat and telling others to vote Democrat...then carries around a $13,000 alligator purse.

What a douche.

Rush brought up an interesting point; pollsters have Cruz up by 5-7% over Beto. But Gov. Abbott is leading by almost 20 pts. Can't imagine a good chunk voting for Abbott would swing over to socialist Beto.

Just more bullshit polling to influence voters to Beto.

Just got back from early voting. Went through the inevitable process of showing my voter's registration card and driver's license, got the inevitable scowl from the inevitably Democrat inevitable old biddy behind the folding table here in the hippie part of town, and hecho.

What was different was the length of the line, given that it's a midterm election. An hour and fifteen minutes, and the election judge was telling people walking up that the wait would be two hours by the time I got to the head of the line. That being the case,

Yesterday I read that Texas has had more newly registered voters for this race than all other states combined, IIRC, and that they're overwhelmingly new Democrats (surprise!).

Whether or not the new registrations are by Americans or illegals is another issue, but it's problematic in either case. I don't recall the number of new registrations, but it was large.

I will be lining up for regular voting...I've seen too many Beto signs in my neck of the woods. I can't wait to not vote for Mickey Orourke.

^^^ I know the polls were open for early voting last weekend, but check and be sure they're open this weekend. You may have to make the run on Tuesday.

I saw a Dildo'rourke "spinner sign guy" in Stone Oak, north of San Antonio this afternoon. He was pointing into a shopping center, possibly a polling location. That moron was asking to get plowed twirling his sign at such a busy median/intersection.

I don't know how it happens, but early voting always seems to happen when everyone has a million other things going on, and a million other things to think about.
