Excuse me? The Bush family is from Ct,not Tx.
I am still deeply touched that Sr. dropped his talks with Helmut Kohl-he literally just said I'm sorry but I MUST GO-& flew straight HOME the instant he heard of the awful deaths of the students at the A&M Bonfire, a couple of years ago. He was most sincere & deeply hurt, spent a great deal of time personally comforting all & especially the families of children yet to be recovered from the collapsed log pile-the moment he touched down at College Station...tens of thousands of Aggies from all over the state & the US had driven & flown there overnight ( just as had Mr. Bush ) & Mr. Bush walked amoung them doing what they were doing-crying & shaking hands & all the rest. He's as genuiune as they come & now he is from Texas-much more than most immigrants of the blessed North. He & his wife are sure as H--- a great deal nicer, personally than most of the Yankees I've had the 'pleasure' of meeting. My oldest son ( a student at A&M ) has had the most amazing & engaging, brief, chance encounters with this man, & he would share his time & attention with anyone.
I fully appreciate your statement-but Bush the Younger has naturally adapted the 'persona' of a dusty ole cowboy/ruffneck, all in favor of individualism & small folks, lecturing Pooten Putin at the ranch about land management by individual landowners, but ready to whip out the Homeland Defense & give life to the new national police to come with that. I was merely trying to illustrate where, in his heart of hearts, he is 'from' & how I think he & his many handlers have come to portray him. I also do think his personal family life, detailed in my previous comment, has had a very lasting result-he strives to please & that began at home, & his model is the ever advancing Father, seen through many advances & a few let-downs ( Sr. did lose at least one election & was out of the loop during Smilin Jimmy Carter's term ) & later defeat by the vermin. Mr. Bush surely learned a great deal from his earliest years & now has polished himself to a fine patina. His speech at the Repub Convention revealed his great anxiety ( he looked scared witless at first, at doing something much bigger than he had ever done before ) & I think his completion of the speech without any faux pax's was 'graduation' to full manhood, a new member of the Big One World Club-destined to be master of our universe.
Mr. Bush, the Younger, really believes, I think, he is doing what he is compelled by moral reasons, to do. All the more reason to question his strange approach to the Criminal Alien invasion. It actually hurts me to criticize these seemingly very decent people-but I must. They keep strange friends with inexplicable intentions.
