My congressman is Beto O'Rourke, another in the long line of political bores from El Paso, Texas.
Beto O'Rourke once played in a band with Cedric Bixler-Zavala from At the Drive-In, and that's the only thing I like about him. Otherwise he is a turd covered in Swarvoski crystals.
Before he came to Congress, he was on the City Council as well as being on the Paso Del Norte group (a group dedicated to revitalizing El Paso, which means bulldozing homes in Segundo Barrio and putting a Wal-Mart down where they used to be. Oh yeah, and also publishing racist studies
like the El Paso Glass Beach study presentation.) Also he had an Internet company while elected, Stanton Street Technologies, which also provided Internet services and web development efforts to companies, including said Paso Del Norte group. And his father-in-law is also involved with the Paso Del Norte group, so there's more than a hint of ethics violations going on there!
I have a lot of words to say about the Paso Del Norte group and how much they are ruining what is already a terrible, boring city by turning it into a debt-ridden food-and-shop spot, but that's beside the point.
Other than that, he also thinks that the War on Drugs is doing more harm than good. Hey, there's another thing I like about him! That is neat.
So in short, Beto O'Rourke is bland, but he is part of the Paso Del Norte group, so fuck him.
