This is from Poetrooper. He had surgery yesterday and is continuing his fight against the Big C. Get well, Poe!
Texas Democrat Senate candidate Roberto (Beto) O’Rourke seemed to have been forthcoming about his criminal arrests for attempted burglary and DUI. Well, except that he hasn’t. In fact, it would seem that Beto’s mea culpas about his bad-boy behavior failed to include the most damaging information: that according to a witness quoted in the police report, in the immediate aftermath of his serious drunken driving incident, young Beto attempted to flee the scene. That’s right, the current Democratic candidate to represent Texas in the United States Senate, had he been left to his own instincts, might well have been a drunken hit-and-run driver, a type of fleeing felon with which too many Texas voters are extremely familiar and for very good reasons.
In a recently released study of hit and run deaths from the American Automobile Association, Texas ranks eighth in the nation, exceeded only by California, Delaware, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Louisiana, and numero uno, New Mexico. Looking at that list, would you care to hazard a guess what most of those states have in common? If you guessed they’re in our southern tier, proximate to our southern border, that would be a good start, as four of those states do share borders with Mexico, and that is indeed a factor. But it’s a federal government report, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform that gets closer to the truth: that it is the higher numbers of young illegal males in these states operating motor vehicles without either legitimate driver’s licenses or required insurance who account for a disproportionate number of such accidents. Interestingly, FAIR notes that Mexico has no law against leaving the scene of an accident, which could account for some of this statistical evidence, but I’m inclined to believe that geography plays a larger role than culture, especially in the four border states and states like Nevada and Oklahoma where safe haven in Mexico is at most a few hundred miles away for a unlicensed, uninsured, intoxicated illegal who wants to avoid a possible prison sentence for any crime from DUI to vehicular homicide.
So Beto, whose father was a prominent border-area attorney and judge, which could well explain the lack of charges filed in the burglary and the relatively light treatment in the DUI offense, has bad-boy bona fides which could make any Democrat green with envy if he were running for the Senate in some state other than Texas, where news reports and headlines about innocent Texans being killed in hit-and-run accidents with jackrabbiting illegals are too frequent to be scoffed at and swept under urban, liberal, media carpets. It’s hard to imagine that Beto’s Democratic handlers actually believed they could keep a lid on this almost hit and run by their candidate, that it could remain undiscovered when it’s in a police report. Of course, the most intriguing aspect of that account is the phrase, “tried to leave.” DUI is one thing that many voters can forgive, but Hit and Run is a despicable offense, something else entirely, although apparently not with some Democratic kingmakers.
You’d think the Ted Cruz campaign could get a copy of that police report.
Photo of Mr. Beto O’Rourke is at the link below. I’m sure he will have women fawning over him. Some things don’t change. Make sure that people know about this guy. Who else left the scene of an accident? Hmmm… it was a while back… and alcohol was involved… and it was dark….

“Beta” O’Rourke, you mean? He wouldn’t be the first Democratic Senator to have a DUI, except The Swimmer did indeed leave the scene from his.

Get well and come back, Poe. Just because all those young lovely nurses are caring for is no excuse, dammit.
*grin*
If Ex isn’t available, shoot your article(s) to my e-mail. Happy to post up for you.
He was a hero. Called for help just one day after it happened, right after talking to his attorney. Hero.
The Lie-on of the Senate.
To be precise, he was charged with DWI. Texas has both “DUI” and “DWI”; however, DUI is generally used for offenders under 21. Beto was 26 at the time of his arrest.
Beto’s father was killed by a hit and run driver while bicycling. This was after cocaine was found in Beto’s father’s car.
Beto’s mom plead guilty in a plea arrangement with the IRS for “bundling” and was fined 250K. She too large cash transactions (to the tune of 600K) at her “furniture store” and re-invoiced them in amounts less than 10K to avoid IRS attention.
So, character flaws that he might have, he comes from a nice family.
Best wishes on a speedy recovery Poetrooper!
I don’t know if this all is worse or the polygamist, incestuous, anti-semite, anti-American Muslim running in MN.
Either way the Democratic Party continues to put only the best and brightest forward. Just look at NY, what a shit show they’re putting up.
“Just look at NY”
And now look at MA.

This info needs to be sent to Ted Cruz if he is the one running against this dirtbag! imo
Poe, I will be praying for you! Good luck my friend and let me know if there is anything I can do for you! Hang in there!!
Oh, the irony of having a program named “Beers For Beto” to celebrate a guy with a DUI… http://beersforbeto.org/
Get well, Poe.
As for Beatoff O’Toole, it would seem as a left wing progtard, all this stuff would be a resume enhancement.
According to HuffPo, that O’Rourke can’t finish a sentence without the F-bomb makes him ‘cool’.
Da fuck you say?
🙂
Amateur.
“AWANEd, what seems to be the problem with the system?”
“Fucking fucker is fucked, Sir.”
“Could you be a bit more specific?”
“Why, are you going to troubleshoot it for me?”
Hmmm, this attitude of mine explains many things.
Graybeard, are you and the Texicans on this? Saddest part is Bastard might win. (Normally I don’t use profanity that disparages the parental unit but in this case..given the evidence submitted) Hang tuff Poe, we’re sending the positive vibes and appeals to the Higher Deity on your behalf. Deo Vindice
Yes we are.
I think O’Rourke (I refuse to address him by a Hispanic name that does not belong to him) is getting much of his money from out-of-state (e.g. Soros and his ilk).
El Paso is closer to Californicate than to Houston, and it seems he is infected with the (D) virus common to both Californicate and to the border towns.
Saw a “Mexican Word of the Day” the other day:
“Mexican Word of the Day: Beto.
If you want to keep your guns, you Beto vote Ted Cruz.”
Ted is fighting back – and O’Rourke’s supporters are helping Ted by openly supporting gun confiscation. O’Rourke seems to share the Big 0’s flare for being personable while being a total air head. Unfortunately a group of the Typical D Voters seem to support him, but I don’t know what the voting will look like.
Still time left in the game and I’m giving $50 to Cruz…maybe the bent shitcan can do us a favor by growing a personality and earn it
That, among other things, is why we call him “Beta” for obvious reasons.
I sure hope he screeches against the 2nd Amendment, that’s a certain path to defeat in Texas!
Poe – praying for you, brother.
I have a follow-up biopsy coming mid month. Hope to have good news, myself. Praying that you and the doctors beat that
Big Clike it owes you money.Great post as always, Poe. Keep up the good fight, brother.
Prayers and well wishes up and out, Poetrooper!
Excellent, enlightening post, Brother Poe. You are in our prayers for a speedy recovery.
Maybe he’s projecting by adopting the name of the prison he should be incarcerated at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Beto_Unit
Unfortunately I believe Texans are stupid enough to fall for this bastard and then they’ll bitch and complain about him acting like the communist that he is.
I think it’s high time I moved to Idaho or something.
imagine his creds with the “weirds” in Austin….
He has femmy hands. He should fit right in with the ID confused set.
Beta’s campaign is pissing me off. Asshats keep texting me.
So I reply with “New phone. Who dis?”
or “Is this Shaniqua from the club last night?”
I’m thinking Beta is headed for another of those democrat moral victories. In that he won’t lose by as big a margin as the democrat candidate for governor is going to lose. Look her up. Real winner
Give Beta a break, he was just practicing his drinking and driving skills for when he could transport a female co-worker home after a fundraiser.
Get well, Poe.
So leaving the scene of an accident in which, possibly, citizens have been killed, is a cultural thing? It has nothing to do with the culprit being a low life rat fucker attempting to avoid responsibility for a horrible act? I’m glad that was straightened out for me. I was confused about that. The cultural aspect of it, that is.
Got some LEO friends who tell me it is the norm for Hispanic drivers to NOT have a DL and it is unusual if the Hispanic driver has a DL, Registration and Insurance. Guess who pays the medical bill and the bill for the damage to the car of the not-at-fault driver? You and I to the extent we pay higher insurance rates. It’s a fucking crime and we are footing the bill for the lowlife rat fuckers. Culture has shit to do with it, not shit. You need someone to tell you it’s wrong to drive off after an accident? I bet the assholes stay at the scene if the other driver is at fault. They probably have their no habla lawyer on the line, setting up appointments with chiropractors for low back strain, neck pain, and a shitpot list of additional maladies that the guy with insurance will be paying. As he should. I’m simply asking for a level playing field which I guarantee you is impossible with the legislation as it is presently written and enforced. Cultural my ass.
Yes, and while I don’t know if it’s mandatory in all states, it is mandatory in mine. Frankly, the way some of those numbskulls drive on the highway, it’s worth the extra dollars.
