Jeb Called Himself ‘First Latino Governor of Florida’ in 2012
National Review ^ | 4/6/15 | ANDREW JOHNSON

Posted on 04/08/2015 8:24:00 AM PDT by jimbo123

Jeb Bush’s 2009 voter registration form was not the last time the former Florida governor identified himself as Latino. At an event in 2012, Bush claimed to be ”definitely the first Cuban, at least, or Latino governor” of the Sunshine State.

Bush’s comments came during a panel discussion with governors Susana Martinez of New Mexico and Brian Sandoval of Nevada at a 2012 event for the Hispanic Leadership Network. (According to the group’s website, Bush is a member of its national advisory committee.) During the event, he detailed how he came to meet his wife while in Mexico, and how their meeting geared his interests toward Latin America.

From that point on, “my whole life became more orientated towards” Latin American culture and policy, he said. He went on to get a degree in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas.

”If Bill Clinton is the first black President, I’m definitely the first Cuban, at least, or Latino governor of the state of Florida,” Bush continued, to widespread applause.

Well Clinton was the first black president.
Anything said by a politician has to be understood as spin.

So I guess in Dauphin Bush’s mind the Spanish Royal Governors do not count.

MLK Jr. isn't the only one with a dream:

I have a dream - I dream that our little American children will one day grow up
and live in a nation where they will be able to vote for a presidential candidate
who will be more concerned about the well being of Americans than illegal aliens.

The GOP “chose” Mr. RomneyCARE because HE made moot
the issue of ObamaCARE/DeathCARE/RomneyCARE which
the EXEMPT love
(because they, their families, and their Staff
and their families and all Moslems are EXEMPT).

Now, the GOP (Give Obama Power) party will “chose”
Jebbie because he will make moot the issue of Warren’s
false claims of being an Indian (whom her family murdered).

BUSH CAMPAIGN POSTER

Jeb marked "Hispanic" in the field labeled “race/ethnicity” on his 2009
voter-registration app, obtained from the Miami-Dade County Elections
Board. (Now says it was a "mistake.")

As FReeper stars & stripes forever wrote: Isn’t falsifying information on government forms illegal? =====================================================

TWO THOUGHTS:

(1) Usually falsifying is done in conjunction w/ other crimes.

(2) Did Jeb receive any benefits by falsifying his race as Hispanic?

If Obama can call himself a Christian, Jeb can call himself Hispanic.

Meanwhile Rand Paul says he has “the Constitution in one hand and the Bill of Rights in the other”. Bush was joking. Paul was being ignorant.

Doesn’t matter what he calls himself, I won’t vote for him as a conservative.
I call Jeb a loser

The City Clerk where he registered didn’t notice before it was filed away for 6 years.

Jeb’s craving desire to be hispanic is striking me as somewhat akin to Bruce Jenner’s craving desire to be a dame. Crosses the line of weirdness.
