    In his illustrious career name one thing Nationally that Robert Francis O'Rourke has ever done besides blowing hot gas. You know the Democrat primary winner will be picked by the parties geezers.

    O’Rourke is a young energetic politician whose only national exposure was when he ran a pretty good race against a sitting GOP Senator in Texas. He is somewhat inexperienced in government but has infinitely more experience than Trump had when he was elected.

    We I don't think this would be a list of conservatives

    29 (58%) of 50 Democratic senators voted for the resolution. Those voting for the resolution were:
    Sens. Baucus (D-MT), Bayh (D-IN), Biden (D-DE), Breaux (D-LA), Cantwell (D-WA), Carnahan (D-MO), Carper (D-DE), Cleland (D-GA), Clinton (D-NY), Daschle (D-SD), Dodd (D-CT), Dorgan (D-ND), Edwards (D-NC), Feinstein (D-CA), Harkin (D-IA), Hollings (D-SC), Johnson (D-SD), Kerry (D-MA), Kohl (D-WI), Landrieu (D-LA), Lieberman (D-CT), Lincoln (D-AR), Miller (D-GA), Nelson (D-FL), Nelson (D-NE), Reid (D-NV), Rockefeller (D-WV), Schumer (D-NY), and Torricelli (D-NJ).

    Born was a liberal when he opposed busing just as were other Northern politicians when they suddenly realized that segregation and segregated schools did not just exist I the South and now they would also face the same sanctions.

    FORCED COURT ORDERED BUSING required little children to be bused from their local neighborhood and the school down the street to an inner city school miles from their home in a crime ridden neighborhood.VERY,VERY few parents black or white,Democrat or Republican were in favor of it.

    O'Rourke was arrested for DWI and for burglary.
    O'Rourke was part of a hacker group in his teens.
    O'Rourke stole credit card numbers and used them to place long distance calls to keep his own phone bills low.
    O'Rourke wrote a piece fantasizing about children getting run over by car. A car he was driving.

    Then one day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles. I knew, however, that this happiness and sense of freedom were much too overwhelming for them. This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams. As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head. My dream was abruptly ended when I heard a loud banging on the front window. It was an old man, who was using his cane to awaken me. He might have been a witness to my act of love. I was not sure, nor did I care. It was simply ecstasy. As I drove home, I envisioned myself committing more of these “acts of love,” and after a while, I had no trouble carrying them out.
    - O'Rourke

    You think this clown would make a good President?

    If these allegations are all true, I am sure that they will all be examined during the primary season and he will not be nominated. However, considering the source, I suspect that these items are greatly exaggerated. Was he convicted of burglary or credit card theft?

    They are all true and can be researched quite easily. In fact, Beto was all over the news trying to apologize and backtrack on a lot of this stuff.

    Keep an open mind and Google it.

    Yes, he was convicted of DWI and hit and run but laws back then were a bit more relaxed so he took a course and cleared his name.

    The sick fantasies of a man murdering children should never be allowed to control any armed forces or be in charge of any country.

    How many years did Darrell Issa spend in congress for the right wing, despite being found guilty of armed car theft with his brother as well as being the sole suspect in the arson of an auto alarm company he owned with a partner.

    How about burglary? Was he convicted? Credit card theft, was he convicted? How old was he when these events happened? At any rate, it seems that he has some skeletons in his closet which will prevent him from getting the nomination. Luckily, there are plenty of other candidates to choose from. The GOP also has some great options that are far less tainted than Trump. Sasse, Kasich, Romney and I am sure there are others too. Hopefully we can have a contest of competing ideas between two or more qualified candidates of character and intelligence. There is still plenty of time left for both parties.

    Was he found guilty of burglary or credit card theft? Why is that so hard to answer?

    Biden was correct in protesting the Feds being involved with local issues such as schools.

    Guys like me support the locals running the local schools as they see fit. As the local residents who have school children see fit to be more accurate.

    The best Christian supports freedom above all. Government stands for FORCE with the huge club.

    it came out in the kavanaugh hearing did Joe Biden did not give Anita Hill a fair shake

    I hope we don't have to relive anybody like Clarence Thomas or kavanaugh again

    I have heard of a plan to elect a supreme Court Justice every two years for an 18 year term

    To me if the supreme Court Justice is going to be politicized as it is anyway then the people should choose the supreme Court justices

    Not some clown like Donald Trump

    I for one recall some formerly famous company names that did vanish. Ling Temco Vought for instance.

    LTV vanished in 2000

    Short answer: I am not sure.

    I think so.... it's murky though. What beto says and what his criminal record show differ. Beto says it was trespassing but anyone knows that trespassing and burglary are completely different.

    I think credit card fraud he was a minor.

    I don't care if he was convicted, he already admitted to it so we all know it happens. I know OJ Simpson murdered Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson, I don't need a conviction to tell me is a lousy human being. I know Jussie Smollett is guilty of faking a hate crime, I don't need a conviction. I already know he is a lousy human being and make a bad leader.

    Although both should have been convicted.

    I did receive corporate training from l-3 communications


    It was quite enlightening

    A hell of a lot more informative than any religious texts will ever be to me

    What was happening to kids Spooky was they were forced to go to schools they had no interest in going to.

    Kind of like you want to go to Yale but are bussed to Virginia Tech.

    Many people have overcome youthful indiscretion and become fine human beings. I would not necessesarily disqualify him for things he did when he was young and dumb.
