Kathleen tries to depict O’Rourke as hungry. She claims to want to serve him up a hamburger
every time she sees him. Based on how
hard Beto is working on his information tour before his campaign launch on
March 30th, I hope that she sees him quite often, and not only feeds
him a hamburger, but feeds one to everyone on the campaign trail. But I have to agree in some degree. Beto is hungry. He is starving for the knowledge of what he
can do to bring this country back together.
The environment is leaving him famished, and healthcare and education have
given him such a hankering that he has gone out and taken his campaign to the
people to listen and gather information, not just hold rally’s and shout
nonsense. Hardly sounds like child's play.
Ms. Parker would like to claim that the “Media Machine” is
responsible for O’Rourke’s popularity.
But she contradicts herself when she compares his speech patterns and
mannerisms to Robert F. Kennedy and Barack Obama, going as far as calling him “Berto
O’Bama.” Being compared to two political
icons is more of a complement than a put down.
She would like to discredit him by referring to his DWI and Burglary
arrest history, which, like her, is old news.
A golden-ager like herself should know that he would not be the first President
with a DUI. I credit some of his popularity
to the fact that he manned up about his past, apologized for it, and has moved
past it. For me, that makes him more
human and relatable. I’m convinced that
his high energy inspires young voters and that his ideas are reflecting the
thoughts of the youth of our nation. He
gives hope to many who have lost it these past two years under our current
administration and his positivity is a breath of fresh air. BETO DAYS ARE COMING.
Kathleen goes on to question if Beto is “Presidential material,”
claiming he offers little substance.
Considering our current commander in chief, a caveman would be a better
alternative. Beto is like E.F. Hutton,
and when he speaks, people listen. His
responses go viral. He packs huge crowds
into small spaces and when you look at the number of people on both sides of
the aisle commenting on him – positive or negative, he has power. Since his announcement, the GOP and even
members of the democratic party are on the attack, clearly showing that he is a
political threat.
For many people like Kathleen Parker, Beto O’Rourke is just a shiny new penny in a sea of ever hopeful democrats looking to take down the President. Like Donald Trump, he may not be being taken seriously at the moment. But, I believe Beto has what it takes to get the democratic nomination, and he has a real chance at the Presidency. He’s young, he’s fresh, he’s inspiring, he’s listening, and he can hold a conversation using coherent sentences. He offers inclusion and togetherness at a time when the nation is so polarized, and he is finding a way to bridge the gap between young and old, black and white, democrat and republican. I think Kathleen Parker may have a little crush on our poor little Beto, and by writing this parody, she is proving what I have thought all along. BETO DAYS ARE COMING. Light up the BBQ Pit, Ms. Parker, sounds like you’ll be serving up a lot of burgers before this campaign is through.
