GOP operatives dig for dirt against rising star O'Rourke

Republicans are feverishly digging into Beto O’Rourke’s past, a sign they view the former Texas congressman as a potential threat if he wins the Democratic presidential nomination.

GOP organizations and political action committees have spent recent weeks delving into multiple areas of O’Rourke’s life, from his voting record to a drunken driving arrest in 1998.

Super PAC America Rising, for example, is zeroing in on O’Rourke’s votes during his six years in Congress, which they see as more conservative compared to those of other potential candidates, according to sources familiar with the research.

O’Rourke’s family money and his family’s influence on his past campaigns are also being studied, as are his ties to fossil fuel interests important in Texas.

Oh FFS. Any dirt you might dig up on Beto pales when compared to the bloatard.

But if you're a Dem, you have to be Ghandi.

O'Rourke is not going to be Ghandi. He's going to have made choices that our circular firing squad will find disqualifying. He's going to have made mistakes - a DUI being nearly a capital crime in Eliminate-All-Risk America.

See: Obama/Rev. Wright.

Playing music of...SATAN!

He has already been vetted for his Senate race.

But if they can’t find any facts I am sure they will make some shit up.
