At GOP convention, Bush Nephew Appeals to Younger Voters, Hispanics
CNN ^ | 06/28/2007 | EagleUSA

PHILADELPHIA (CNN) -- On the same night George W. Bush formally accepted the Republican presidential nomination, his nephew, George P. Bush, delivered his own prime-time convention address -- peppered with Spanish -- about the party's new message of "compassionate conservatism."

"He is a good man," the younger Bush said of his uncle to the cheering GOP convention crowd at the Comcast First Union Center. "I am proud of the governor he has been, determined to do what is right and fearlessly inclusive."

Bush, the son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his Mexican-born wife Columba, is the youth chairman of the Republican National Convention and has been active in George W. Bush's campaign since the presidential primary season began.

"My Mom and Dad always told me ... if you believe in a cause, how can you not get involved?" Bush told the cheering crowd.

"I am proud of the president he will be ... that is why I got involved in my uncle's campaign. Because I realized that we share not only the same name, we share the same dreams," said Bush, who has recently toured 14 states on behalf of Texas governor.

Find something else to do, George P.

Agreed. We need new leadership. Ones that won’t try to sell our country out to foreigners. The GOP has got to stop this “We’ll do anything to win votes” garbage. It is a dangerous path.

I believe in a cause. Expelling not just the ILLEGALS who have invaded our country but the traitorous politicians who fight to keep them here.

Agreed. No more Presidents named Bush for at least 50 years. No more Clintons either, ok?

We’re still stinging from Bush’s rejection - but young George P Bush could be our first Hispanic President. My guess, he’ll be great. Our children and grandchildren will vote for him.

“Yeh we’ll win lots of elections without black and hispanic votes.”

But we can’t “sell out” America by trying to legalize 12 million illegal immigrants, just to win their sympathy and votes. It’s immoral and wrong.

Exactly!

And the fools that pretend he broke his word or was never honest about his feelings are being disingenous when they say they did not.

Bush has always had a cooperative rather than confrontational attitude and practice on immigration. The border bots pretend they never knew that this governor from Texas had soft views on immigration.

Really?

Who is the dumb one?

I voted for Bush knowing this and admiring his practical attitude on the matter.

Flame away, you will not turn me.

The border bot fascism is disingenous and your post is proof positive on that point.

Lady Macbeth doth protest too much.

A bra might be in order for public appearances. It’s not a hollywood nipple show.

How will he be great? He will not be a big government country clubber like the first two? Apple -------> Tree.

First Hispanic President? Well why is that a good reason to vote for him? Let's vote for Paris Hilton because she's cute.

I don't care if he's green with pink polka-dots, if he's a real conservative. But he likely isn't.

No. More. Bushes.

It's time for new blood.

Let’s see, George P is a member of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce - blatant racial identity politics. The country doesn’t need any of that.
