Beto O’Rourke Goes for Broke
- Thread starter SFC13557
- Start date
We're working on it here in NH
Don Bolduc - Don Bolduc for US Senate
THANK YOU! Friends – Granite Staters have spoken, and while the result was disappointing, I have always respected the will of the people. I called Senator Maggie Hassan on Tuesday night to congratulate her on her victory. We have our political disagreements, but the stakes are too high for any...donbolduc.com
Would help if you got the f*** out of Mass and stop funding the dem machine with tax dollars/congressional representation
Working on it. If you can magically remove everything that's keeping me here, be my guest.

I envy people who can just pack up and go on a moment's notice. Or at least say they can. For us, it's a process and there may not be a path out of the state.
Not that I like that, but that's how life goes sometimes.

Careful what you wish for - this is Texas.
For all we know, Dog Catcher is the fourth most powerful statewide elected office,
right after chairman of the Railroad Commission.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. Unfortunately, we don't always get to choose a good candidate, but refusing to yield and choose the less bad one means loss of the Senate. And Trump, although he was a good president, especially compared to the traitor we have in there now, needs to STFU so he doesn't get dems, left ones no less, because of his little personal vendettas. Ever hear of Georgia? Warnock? Loss of the Senate to the left? I'm as unhappy as you are, but Collins and her ilk are a far cry from AOC, which is what we'll get more of if we don't get out and vote R!Nothing good has ever come from Collins efforts
Rinse and repeat for a bunch of rino's
And we've got our own issues with NH governor fighting against parents and going back on his word wrt Covid powers/abuse of power
Gov. Sununu Fails to Keep His Word, Shows He Cannot Be Trusted
Gov. Chris Sununu obliterated his own credibility today by going against his word that he would support further emergency powers reform as an extension of the 2021 budget deal with Freedom Caucus…granitegrok.com
The only solution is to remove them from office......and its easier to defeat an incumbent dem than it is to primary an incumbent RINO

The story I heard was that he was trying to sound like a (?). Can't remember for sure if it was Hispanic or some other grouping.
Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

He might definitely be la-tinks.
Left-wing Democrat mega donor George Soros has donated $1 million to help Beto O’Rourke’s efforts to unseat Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, filings show.
Records filed with Texas Ethics Commission published Tuesday show the billionaire donated the sum to the Beto for Texas political action committee in June, according to The Hill. O’Rourke’s campaign confirmed the donation to the outlet.
O’Rourke has benefited from laws in Texas that allow uncapped campaign donations. According to filings, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee has received a number of donations over six or seven figures.

For the life of me I can't understand why this guy is still alive. He's an anti-American, anti-Western Civilization terrorist who uses his money as a weapon to bring down the civilized world. Another phony, wealthy elitist with plenty of armed bodyguards and private jets, mansions, gourmet chefs, maids and staff dedicated to kissing his ass. He has blood on his hands and has never been held accountable for the death and destruction his money has bought.

George Soros’s Conservative Renaissance
Leftist prosecutors prevailed at the ballot box but are now stirring a revolt.
From today's WSJ.
"Give George Soros his due. He knows how to get political results.
Rather than waste time and money convincing state legislatures and governors to enact laws decriminalizing offenses, loosening bail requirements, and making it tougher to send bad guys to jail, Mr. Soros is skipping straight to the office that enforces the law—district attorney. Political-action committees he bankrolls are pouring money into the campaigns of left-wing candidates who, once elected as prosecutors, can implement soft-on-crime policies by administrative fiat.
District-attorney races are traditionally low-budget affairs, so influencing their outcome doesn’t cost much. Most big cities and populous counties are reliably Democratic, so these offices often are decided in primaries, which are smaller and less expensive than general elections. Showering left-wing candidates with hundreds of thousands of dollars is often enough to dramatically alter how justice is administered in a jurisdiction with millions of citizens.
Using this model, PACs largely funded by Mr. Soros have donated more than $22 million to bankroll the election of at least 23 district attorneys, according to data collected by the Capital Research Center and the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. These prosecutors serve cities or counties that have a combined population of 38.4 million Americans. His money has helped put prosecutors in office from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, St. Louis to the Virginia suburbs of Washington, Manhattan to Chicago. Four of the five most populous counties in Texas have prosecutors these Soros-funded PACs backed.
But an action in politics can provoke a reaction. Aroused citizens in affected communities—including some of the nation’s most liberal cities—are saying enough is enough. The election of antipolice, anti-law-and-order prosecutors often has led to increases in violent crime and a growing sense among ordinary citizens that their communities are less safe and quality of life is worsening.
Consider last month’s recall of San Francisco’s district attorney, Chesa Boudin. The antirecall effort received indirect support from Mr. Soros by way of a PAC funded by the Smart Justice California Action Fund, to which he has given $3.65 million, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Mr. Boudin was ousted with 60% of the vote by San Franciscans fed up with feces and needles on their streets, a rising tide of hate crimes against Asian-Americans, and frequent brazen snatch-and-grab thefts everywhere from pharmacies to luxury stores. Now there’s another recall effort underway in California for Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who got off to a bad start by establishing a policy of never seeking the death penalty or trying a minor as an adult, no matter how heinous the crime.
There’s also a new national organization that seeks to counter the Soros strategy. The Protecting Americans Action Fund is organized by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican former local prosecutor, and led by an impressive board of three state attorneys general, two county prosecutors, and a pair of former U.S. attorneys. The fund will help law-and-order prosecutors get into office in key counties and stay there.
PAAF is backing Cyndi Carrasco’s bid for prosecutor of Marion County, Ind., which includes Indianapolis. The daughter of legal immigrants from Mexico, she served as state inspector general before becoming deputy general counsel and ethics adviser for Gov. Eric Holcomb. Her opponent, incumbent Democrat Ryan Mears, refuses to prosecute certain drug crimes, won’t charge minors accused of nonviolent offenses, and presided over two record years of murders in 2020 and 2021.
PAAF will play defense in Tarrant County, Texas, home to Fort Worth and Arlington, where the incumbent GOP district attorney is retiring. Republicans nominated Phil Sorrells, a criminal-court judge and former prosecutor. He’ll face Democrat Tiffany Brooks, who surprisingly beat a Soros-backed candidate, Albert Roberts, in her primary. Mr. Roberts got nearly $700,000 from Mr. Soros via the Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC but spent only around $34,000 of it, husbanding the rest for the fall election, in which he won’t compete. It’ll be interesting to see if the unspent portion of that donation goes to Ms. Brooks.
If PAAF puts more law-and-order prosecutors into office, it may achieve something greater too. As Democrats see PAAF’s victories, some of them may realize that their party’s antipolice and soft-on-crime attitudes are a political problem.
Take last November’s election of Ann Davison as Seattle city attorney—the first Republican elected citywide in 30 years. When Democrats lose the Emerald City, the times are changing. Who could have guessed George Soros would help spur a conservative renaissance in one of America’s bluest towns?"
Mr. Rove helped organize the political-action committee American Crossroads and is author of “The Triumph of William McKinley” (Simon & Schuster, 2015).

It's not like he was chased out of the theater, he still gave his speech and when he left there was a small group outside. I can't stand the POS but the video is a little misleading.
I would not be surprised that the theater was probably limited and controlled seating. Can't take any chances that protestors ruin that.
But the greater optic is his reception outside. That crowd was almost certainly better behaved than a similar Democratic crowd would have been but they certainly "escorted" him away.
The guy is making a lot of money just f*ckinf around and talking sh*t about guns.
I don't like him, but I have to admire that. At the same time it is sad because it highlights people's stupidity.
