Despite Everyman Image, O'Rourke Is Even Wealthier Than Cruz
The Odessa American ^ | October 11, 2018 | Associated Press

Posted on 10/11/2018 7:32:50 PM PDT by luvie

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — With an unassuming air and a black Toyota Tundra he says was "the first new vehicle I've ever purchased," Beto O'Rourke has campaigned thousands of miles across Texas and risen to national prominence on a workaday image that aligns with his politics, but not his personal finances.

The son of a onetime Republican county judge and a longtime furniture store owner, the Democratic congressman from El Paso married into the family of one of his hometown's most prominent developers and has assembled real estate investments worth millions.

You are right asking about “how all these Communists are s filthy rich”.

Remember, in Marxismland, as explained in ‘Animal Farm’ (George Orwell’s book), “all animals are equal but some are more equal than others”.

If you look at the financials status of the Congress’ top Marxists (of all sorts), you’ll find that a lot of them are richer than you and I, live in manion-like houses away from the “ po folk” they claim to represent, have private drivers, several houses (as Sanders would say only to the rich Marxist, “Come spend a weekend at Bernie’s” 3 houses).

God know what Charlie the closet Red Rangel has hidden overseas, esp. in the Dominican Republic, like children, bank accounts, and a nice house.

The same for John Conyers, Jr., the Soviet’s top asset in the US congress after Bella Abzug was defeated and covert Communist Party USA member George Crockett Jr. left.

Also, some neo-Marxist rich libs like Pelosi and Feinstein have some illegal to shady real estate business ventures in their past, and for the Feinsteins, in Red China.

Don’t know what Schumer has but he’s so “New York” that he has either got to be “mobbed up” like the Clintons were (”The American Spectator” April, 1977, Byron York, “Let’s Be Friends: A Mob-Controlled Union Delivers the Goods for Bill” (and Hillary and the DSCC).

Durbin and Obama are from Illinois, esp. Chicago, so you automatically have to color them “dirty”.

Fochohantas might be illegally getting Indian reservation money is she has enrolled in any tribe. Otherwise, I would say her money was still “red”, but it can over in rubles.

Maxine Waters - pick any one or dozen from this list:
* drug dealers contributions
* crooked politicians (remember, she’s from Oakland, CA)
* Red Chinese under the table support
* Little “thank you” birthday presents from the Castro brothers, the Cuban group.
* Hugh Chavez’s donations to friends in the U.S. fund
* Environmental academics who keep getting college research grants from Congress for work in California universities
* Royalties from here wig designs under the brand name “Wigs R Us”, “LSD Designed Wigs”, and “Graverobber Wigs, LLC”.

Too bad the wife didn’t have a headache that night, Bacon Bits Bob would have began and ended his existence as stain on a paper towel.

Well then why not look into Beto's wifes wealth from her family if your your going to snark, and probably the fact that the only reason the communist Beto has any money at all is because of his wife's family.

And didn't Trump scrub Goldman Sachs clean by hiring their former execs? Funny, but I'm just not sure if your holding the the fact that Cruz's wife is intelligent enough and worked hard enough to earn two MBA's against her as some sort of negative.

Or is it as simple as.............CRUZ!

Not at all. I am very impressed at what Mrs. Cruz has done in the professional world. My thought is if Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao can serve as Secretary of Transportation, maybe there is a also a spot for Heidi Cruz if she wants to do this kind of work.

I have no doubt they’re all dirty as hell. When you sell your soul to Satan, you can do just about ANYTHING.

I watched a few minutes of Beet and couldn’t stand the effeminate mannerisms any longer. He made John the Silky Pony grooming his hair look macho.

Really surprised he’s being taken seriously.

They must be very desperate, and I think the elites haven’t come out of their ivory towers for so long, they think that Texans have become sissies like they have.

Wrong!!

So lame. It’s not even original. Janet Reno campaigned in her “little red truck” 17 years ago.

Here’s something a bit out of ordinary
Liberal Dem endorsed by GOP in a safe Dem seat. She will beat the commie thug incumbent.

She’s going to caucus with GOP
Risk is that she’ll run for reelection as Dem endorsed.

But it takes a safe D seat and puts it in play

I lived in this district a few years back
New Britain, CT

Gop house is about 71, needs 76 for majority

From what I understand,Beto’s mommy GAVE him a shopping center worth over $5 million, and that was quite a few years ago.

That’s a great strategy for a safe Dem district. If she caucuses with us, that’s a win even if she only votes with us 25% of the time. The incumbent RAT would help the RATs keep majorities in committees, etc., and would vote against us 100% of the time.
