Beto - The Consolidated Discussion

[diesel1959]

Hey since he’s a jerk-off I’m gonna keep calling him ‘bate-o. Get it?

zactly. His momma didn't give him that name, so I feel completely confident in pronouncing as I want. What a shîtheel.

He has been stoned his whole life.

If you ever meet my sister, ask her about the time he hit on her. It was pretty funny.

You know what would be hilarious? If the ballots said "Robert Francis O'Rourke" on them, and all the "Beto!" pandering only left his potential voter base lost and confused. No, ese, ees no "beto" on dee ballot, just "Cruz", must be him!?

The ballot could then also read Rafael Cruz.

OK, whom do we have to talk to to make that happen?

 

[Davetex]

Hold the phone. Isn'the he engaged in cultural appropriation? One of the things the left hates?

So the metoo movement should go after O'Rouke.

But he apologized, so all is forgiven. Only works if you're on the same team though.

Fox reporting that the substance at Cruz's office was not hazardous.

I'm not good with condensing things but I'll give it a try.

In ~1974, sis was employed by Equifax in Brownwood working for a man named Harry Marlin. She became good friends with Harry and his wife Vivian. By ~1975, she had moved to running a bar there in Brownwood but remained friends with Harry and Vivian. Harry was an old friend of Willie. Harry went to Luckenbach on multiple occasions just to hang out with Willie Nelson and others. Willie owned or partially owned a sort-of bar there and when it was nice weather, he liked to just hang around outside, drink beer, and occasionally pick up a guitar and sing a little something. This was back around Red Headed Stranger and while Willie was supposedly living in Austin, he spent as much time as possible decompressing at small gatherings of friends in Luckenbach.

On a couple of occasions, sis accepted Harry's invitation to tag along. (She even met Waylon Jennings at one of those gatherings.) In addition, when Willie was in Brownwood, Harry would bring him into The Golden Bull, the very small and private bar (legally, a members-only private club) attached to a restaurant. That was the bar my sister ran.

There wasn't a single time when she was in his presence that Willie didn't hit on her. What made it amusing was the way he'd do so even when his wife at the time, Connie Koepke, was nearby, in the same room, at the next picnic table, sometimes within feet. He was more than two decades older than sis and she thought it was hilarious that he thought he had a shot with her, especially with his wife literally within earshot.

Similarly, former Lt. Governor Ben Barnes did exactly the same thing when the Golden Bull catered a party at his house on Lake Brownwood except that not only his wife but also one or two of his kids were present. While he made lewd proposals, she was looking at him and could see his wife and kids over his shoulder, maybe 10 feet behind him. That picture has always stuck in her mind as being very strange, a little funny, and a little sad.

Personally, I've outgrown hitting on women 20+ years my junior. I had some success with that tactic a couple of decades ago and found the whole process far, far too expensive to be worth what I got out of it.

Some very successful men, however, clearly engage in such practices regularly.

We can hope this socialist does no better than Wendy Davis.

They're shuffling so many people from Cali to Texas for the mid-terms to flip Texas blue, I wouldn't be surprised if Cali flipped red, LOL.

How could one do worse?
