Republicans are feverishly digging into Beto ORourkes 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 ORourkes life, from his voting record to a drunken driving arrest in 1998.
Super PAC America Rising, for example, is zeroing in on ORourkes 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.
ORourkes family money and his familys 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.

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.
