George P. Bush Efforting Young and Latino Votes (FL pub. school teacher for only ONE YEAR flashback)
ABC News ^ | 1/6/2006 | Beth McCorry

George W. Bush is looking to what some call his “secret weapon” in the effort to win over Latino and 20-something voters: His hunky Latino nephew.

The oldest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his Mexican-born wife Columba, George Prescott Bush was born in Houston on April 24, 1976.

George P. (or “P” as he is called by family members) lived with his parents in Venezuela for three years. In 1979, the growing family moved to Miami, where he was raised while attending private schools.

George P. earned a history degree from Rice University in 1998. He immediately entered the work force, taking a job teaching history at Homestead High School in South Florida, a low-income community south of Miami.

Just over a year later, George P. left his teaching position and came to the aid of his uncle, George W. Bush, in his bid for the presidency of the United States.

Encouraging Young Voters

George P., who was raised to speak both Spanish and English, visited more than 60 high schools and 25 colleges in New Hampshire and California during the primary campaign, setting up voter registration booths and trying to convince young people to get involved in politics.

He applied lessons learned as a teacher (viewing victory one person at a time) in his grassroots approach to reach young voters. This generation’s Bush believes that young people are informed and care about issues, but must be taught how to direct their energy into politics.

The GOP historically loses Latino votes to Democrats, and it seems clear the Bush campaign is hoping the 24-year-old will help his uncle appeal to young and especially Latino voters. So far, the fans (mostly young women) have swooned over this young George with football-player good looks.

So George P Bush is supposed to be an expert in TEXAS education after only one year of experience as a public school teacher in FLORIDA?

When did “efforting” become a word?

So. He was raised to be an undercover agent? A saboteur of Constitutional Sovereignty?

Frankly, the absolute last candidate I would consider, much less vote for, is a Bush.

You’re right, I almost made a comment about it but didn’t want to demean the poster.

That word is a word used mainly by politicians’ staff members, politicians, and business people who really have no clue about real work. It’s useless, uniformed jargon.

Well, gee....I hope he knows that ABC doesn’t actually ‘get to vote’ in the classical citizen-voter context.

I hope the hell he hires that loser who should be wearing a beanie cap and little boy pants - Rove.

If republicans don't make inroads into the latino population, in the next few years, the demographics will overwhelm us.

the effort to win over Latino and 20-something voters:

Gee, Stupid Party, maybe we wouldn't have to "win them over" if YOU hadn't encouraged tens of millions of them to flood across the border, get amnesty, and bring their families.

I eagerly await Election Night and Karl’s spot explaining with his little whiteboard tablet how he’s effed up.

Very funny.

The amnesty language is very poplar these days.

No more Bush’s.
