Same reason Rafael goes by Ted. It’s a nickname. Beto is short for Robert in Spanish. Both trying to appeal to their demos. Dude is from El Paso.

I'd ask them what are they going to do if I didn't remove it and whatever they plan to do will they be prepared to go to court over it...

A 1/2 Cuban who grew up in the states using an anglicized nickname is a little different than an Irish american using a Hispanic nickname. Surely you can see the difference.

I had no idea that’s what Beto is doing.

I do dislike Ted Cruz though.

What’s hilarious is his wiki page.

quote:

His family always called him "Beto", a common Spanish nickname for Roberto, Gilberto, and Alberto, initially to distinguish him from his namesake grandfather.


Oh okay, but didn’t I just read a couple sentences ago...

O'Rourke is a fourth-generation Irish American


Oh okay

God damn. I mean if the Dems could just put out a normal moderate they would maybe have a chance. That’s fricking stupid and slimy.

If that was in my neighborhood, I would have poured gas all over that yard.

Well that’s extreme. It’s ok for folks to have a different political opinion. Don’t act like Ted is awesome.

That's who I voted for in the 2016 primary because Rand Paul wasn't an option any longer

I like Rubio... But as for as this thread, who that person decides to support shouldn't be the issue.

If it doesn't violate any rules or other people, who who violates the rules by doing something similar (in other words, if he is being targeted because of who he supports) has not been asked or forced to remove whatever they have then he should tell them to frick off and like I mentioned, ask them if they are willing to fight it in court.

No shite, a sign in Dallas telling people to vote said Beta instead of Beto.

It wasn’t a political sign, just info on who was running and when it was.

Unfortunately it was effective since they are now getting media attention
I side with the HOA on this one


Except it's more evidence that Beto supporters are a bunch of losers.

Every Beto supporter I know on Facebook has claimed their sign was stolen or destroyed. One got into it with one of his neighbors who kept saying he saw the Beto guy bring it inside the night before.
