George P has been involved in politics since he was a teenager taking high positions in his dad’s gubernatorial campaigns.. He was a major fundraiser in this last Romney campaign in Florida..
He is an attorney, U.S. Navy Reserve officer, and real estate developer in Texas.. He is totally Bilingual.. One thing that is important is he draws a lot of young Latinos, and most importantly Latinas to the party, and even a lot of liberal female reporters..

Of course.
You get special property tax exemptions for nigh 8 generations and the hereditary title of “Lord”, and the peasant serfs to work your lands.
How would that sound? We’d have every veteran in the country down here.

I don’t have a problem with Governor Goodhair, and that’s what started my part of the discussion.
As you said, the governor doesn’t do much in this state—he’s more or less a figurehead. He looks good when representing us at various places, and if he doesn’t speak a whole lot, he comes across nicely.
I cetainly had have my fill of Bush’s—but I must say, obammy has made them seem much better in retrospect.
They are an attractive family with a bit of class. I didn’t care much for most of their ideas, though.
Obama makes me miss Carter.

Without a doubt, Perry has his detractors. However, even his detractors can’t dismiss the fact that Texas has had one of the most robust economies during the last four crappy years.
That said, I think we are all tired of Bushs. Daddy Bush is still well-liked but, George 43, not so much. He pretty much stays out of the limelight and does whatever former presidents (NOT Clinton) do!!
But, as George P’s name gets tossed around, I don’t think he has a snowball’s chance in the Big Bend country in July!!
During the primairies, I looked at all the candidates and researched their backgrounds.
The major factor in Gov. Perry’s past that bothered me was the Trans-Texas Corridor. There were issues with that project, mainly it was being built to facititale mercantile interests that would exist after the establishment of the North American Federation, something that is enormously unpopular and, hopefully, never happens. (The Bush family are big supporters of it, including the New World Order - Global government under the UN.)
This project seemed just like the kind of big government project conservatives despise, yet Perry is supposedly conservative? Nope. I wasn’t convinced that Perry was what we should have as a candidate, but I do like him as a person.
“... he looks great on a horse...”
Yep. Got’ta keep priorities straight.
We need young men like him.
I see 90 hours of special training in military customs versus boot camp. Apparently he served under another name to protect himself in theater and his activities are classified. I don't know if he was in the field or as murtha served in a air conditioned trailer at the back of the front.
I will tell you this right now I won't be served up another bush, even if he is palatable to the hispanic community.
I said I like Perry and you jumped in to tell me why I shouldn’t. Now who is the jawing?
???
News to all the voters in Rhode Island, New York, Maryland, and California that had these Hyannis Port liberals on the ballot in their states.
Have you ever even been in our state?
Of course I have. I have been to 30 out of 50 states so far and Texas was one of them. I like Texas but just don’t like Rick Perry. You can’t be expected to like everyone....at least I hope we aren’t going that route.
Thanks.... So he has not even won a single election even to dog catcher....
So based on your post he is unqualified to run for governor.... But has lots of potential... Which is good because the GOP needs young impressive people in it...who can run for higher office after proving they can win local elections...
You obviously don’t know what a carpetbagger is.
LOL! My goal once I’m retired is to have the government leave me alone. I want to do a lot of fishing and hunting.
Wow.. You have made my argument for me from an entirely different perspective..
Having won and served as a State Senator, without ever producing any meaningful legislation, proves WHAT?
Or, winning a statewide Senatorial election, and voting Present 83% of the time, is in your eyes a justifiable qualification to hold a National office..
Can you see where I am going with this? I can't argue with any of your points, except in today's environment.. The only real qualification for a prospective Conservative to win at anything other that a pre-crafted district in a Purple state, or a statewide office in a RED state..
Today the Presidency is an American Idol, who garners supporters based on a charismatic personality, pretty face, wholesome family photos, and no background that can be used against you.. Talent is a bonus, unless it is in an area of competition that has been demonized, as in actual business experience..
George P Bush, is an unknown quantity, with major name recognition, a Hispanic heritage, pretty photos even in a military uniform, and sex appeal.. Becoming Governor of Texas, is only a fundraising bonanza.. We should be carving his image on the side of a mountain already.. If he can sing RAP, it's in the bag..
Only liberals think of a POTUS of a thing to idolize...as you proved with your post about Zero...
Conservatives tend to like to have actual qualified adults to be in charge of our nation...with proven track records of success and accomplishments...
George P may one day be that candidate.... But having Bush for a last name certainly will make it difficult to over come the RINO meme...
This is going to be true of any GOP candidate, no matter his name.. I think the Bush name will be an advantage with some very important demographic though.. Latinos, Young voters, and the elderly..
All of those are vital to our election strategies, and the only real dissatisfaction are the Conservatives, who get shut down every election cycle..
I have been to a fundraiser with this kid as the speaker, and I have to say I was really impressed.. He isn't at all stuffy, or arrogant, and was actually funny, and fast on his feet, and smart as #ell.. I didn't want to like him because of my displeasure with his uncle, but whatever.. :)
