AUSTIN, TX – Republican Party of Texas Chairman James Dickey Thursday reacted to Beto O'Rourke's announcement that he is running for President of the Unites States.
The Kaufman County Republican Party shared the news release on social media.
The following is Dickey's statement:
“It’s no surprise that Beto O’Rourke has entered the race for President – he’ll be joining several fellow Socialists with a message that resonates much better with Democrat primary voters than average Texans and Americans. O’Rourke’s policies of open borders, abolishing Immigration and Custom Enforcement (I.C.E.), and supporting single-payer government run healthcare are a snippet of the many problems with his candidacy and are clear examples of exactly what our nation needs to avoid. America needs leaders who will continue to fight for our strong economy, career opportunities for hard working taxpayers, and for securing our border.”
According to a Breitbart story posted on February 12, 2019, O’Rourke claims the “Green New Deal” was the “best proposal that I’ve seen” – ignoring its $93 trillion price tag. This is just one recent example in O’Rourke’s career of neglecting taxpayers. While only passing one bill during his tenure in Congress he actually voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which improved hundreds of thousands of careers in Texas alone.
Watch Beto O'Rourke's Announcement:

Chairman Dickey continued:
“During his time in Congress, O’Rourke voted with Nancy Pelosi 94% of the time – he’s made clear he cares more for partisan politics than for helping hard working Americans. This was abundantly clear when he voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which created 362,200 careers in the state of Texas, and millions around the nation. O’Rourke’s record demonstrates that he’d be a disaster for our country.”

PermalinkI guess if Beto is a Socialist, at least he is running against Comrade Trump. You have to admit, the Republican Party is getting awfully close to Communist. When people turn a blind eye to the violation of the constitution (this one time hehehe....) it opens the door to further abuses.
Also, it is okay to have ideals, we both know that just because there is an ideal situation doesn't mean it is actually going to happen, especially in Washington. The "Green New Deal" is just that, an idea and something to strive for as far as being carbon neutral or negative. There is no way that it can or will happen, but the idea that we are trying to help leave the Earth a better place for our kids and grandkids IS something that we should strive for. The ability to breath clean is something that we should all care about.

PermalinkGranted, Mrs. O'Rourke is no nude model or trashy. But she is not ugly.

PermalinkSalty... I find it amusing that some feel it incumbent to address physical attributes of the wives of certain politicians while overlooking the money-grasping whoreishness of previous "companions" and the current spouse of the whoredog-in-chief. Does anybody really believe his Dumpness's current marital union is centered on true love as opposed to a union of trophy-wife hunting and a trophy-wife's being willing to be bought? Should that be so, I have this bridge...
