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.

Irrelevant. Just like Bristol Palin and Megan McCain and Chelsea Clinton and Caroline Kennedy and the Reagan kid.

Liberals always love to deride those Presidents who have children who don’t see issues the same as their parents...take President Reagan as the big #1 example with his son, Ron jr a huge disappointment to all conservatives with his recent book. Atleast his dad isn’t alive to be beyond embarrassed.

From “drunken brat” to darling of the liberal “media”. She’s come a long way baby. The commie libs love you to death when you say what they want to hear. To me, watching two men get “married” is like watching some kind of weird, freak show on Spike TV.

>> publicly breaking ranks with a father

Dubya’s entire family broke ranks with the man.

The Bush family is quite Liberal save Dubya’s notable efforts on behalf of Conservatism.

But I thought that in today’s world, being pro homo would get you into the “cool” set?

Will she also be endorsing underage drinking? I remember how Bush's tenure was ushered in with illegal partying.

Bush women...lazy, not very bright, letting Manuela pick up the dog poop, make their beds, raise their children, then preaching open borders...

Enough with the Bushes. Especially the shiftless Bush women.

Not if you are a Bush or McCain or other GOP family.

So Barbara Bush Jr thinks it is ok to deny children either a mother or a father? That’s great! No need for kids to have a mother and a father, right? Barbara Bush Jr needs to move to the inner city and find out how well it worked there with no dads around.......

I think Laz hit Babs. He’s pushed a few young women to the other team on his (infrequent) bad days.

This is important! Important as, uh, important as, well.... I’m not sure but it is important! Someone that exists because someone that was once president at some point impregnated another person! And the resulting person that was born said something IMPORTANT!

This is BIG! BIG! BIG! What will she say next? Will she have breakfast in the morning? What kind of toilet paper does she use? Floss? Does she floss? We need for her to tell us because it is IMPORTANT!
