Bush Child, in a Break, Endorses Gay Marriage By MICHAEL BARBARO
The Bush dynasty is no stranger to generational conflict: father and son differed over deposing Saddam Hussein, raising taxes and the role of the United Nations.

Now it is father and daughter who find themselves at odds over a weighty issue.
Barbara Bush, one of the twin daughters of George W. Bush, will endorse same-sex marriage on Tuesday, publicly breaking ranks with a father who, as president, pushed for a constitutional amendment banning such unions.
Ms. Bush, 29, has taped a video calling on New York to legalize gay marriage. A bill to do that was defeated in the state in 2009. She describes the issue as a matter of conscience and equality.

Point taken.
It’s all right ~ Babs wants us to think she’s an expert in something ~ now it’s homosexuality.
I think that Jenna was the drunken brat.
Her mom has already endorsed gay marriage and abortion, so what’s the surprise?
American indoctrination is very successul
Her Meghan McCain moment, I guess...
She probably figures that if they pass a same-sex marriage law, she can marry Megan McCain, and they can start their own show.
Aaargh.
Wasn’t the “media” always accusing them of being a couple of party girls always out there getting drunk? I don’t remember ever hearing them say anything good about Barbara.
Babs is a huge Leftie: came out for Obamacare right from the gate.
Oh! Those crazy Bushes!
And the homosexualistical agenda just keeps roliing along.
I’m not surprised. There are a lot of kids in that age group who look at the issue as a ‘fairness’ type issue. They haven’t seen the change in society over the last 40 years, because they weren’t paying attention. All they know is that folks shouldn’t make other folks feel bad; it’s a mantra of that generation.
Why should anyone care? It’s not like we have royalty in this country...right?
Not shocking. I was reminded of all the things I hated about her father when I saw him on C-SPAN with the bullshit canard about illegals “doing the jobs Americans won’t do”, calling us who want to secure the border “xenophobes”, and justifying the tends of billions of our taxes he gave to African dictators under the guise of “helping those with HIV”. RINOs RINOs RINOs. That’s all the Bushes are. We should pass a new constitutional amendment: No more Bushes - or Clintons can ever run for President. Ever.
No it is not...unless she can explain how two people of the same sex can be joined as husband and wife, she has no valid argument. It is not a matter of equality, but of reality. A man cannot be a wife, and a woman cannot be a husband. That has nothing to do with discrimination, hate, bigotry, etc...it's just reality. Why is that so difficult to understand?
I saw that on CSPAN. There were a few times where I thought he might have been hitting the sauce.
She was fathered by a drunk, what did anyone expect? And drunks have defective sperm.
notable efforts on behalf of Conservatism? Remind me again what those were? Listening to us when we complained about Miers?
