this is not about military service —that’s GREAT.

This is about whether folks would vote for a T-H-I-R-D George Bush 4 prez.

That is COMPLETELY NUTS.

Oh wait— THIS is the guy who will enforce our borders..?!?!?!!?

Will some of you people please settle down? There is no monarchy in this country, we all know that. But some of you are going ape over something that hasn’t happened! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in the Constitution that says that families of past presidents can’t run like anyone else!

If you don’t like it, then have the Constitution amended! Besides, who got in between George H.W., and after George W.? They’re not related to these two men in the least; that’s not a monarchy, is it? Furthermore, besides the two Presidents Bush, there have been at least 3 other situations where there were 2 presidents of one family. The Adamses, Harrisons (gr.parent-gr.son), Roosevelts (cousins).

There were also a few others I know/suspect were distantly related. (Pierce to Bush, possibly Coolidge to Jefferson)Now, were they all in some type of monarchical succession? Heck no! In fact, from what I’ve read, some people were trying to get Lincoln’s kid to run for pres! He eventually declined (could anyone blame him?)

If he (George P.) wants to run, he has a right to. Also, those who want to vote for them, can! If that makes some of you mad, that’s too bad! I wouldn’t personally support a Kennedy, not the way many of them have become. However, like it or not, they do have a right to run if they qualify!

No, it’s not “completely nuts” like you said!
