Seeya on the other side of the barricades.

George P. Bush, a son of a governor and a nephew and grandson to U.S. presidents, has filed to run statewide in Texas, the latest member of the powerful political family to seek elected office.
Bush, 37, the son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Mexican-born wife, Columba, is seen by some as a transformative figure - a Hispanic candidate for a Republican Party that wants to appeal to the growing and increasingly influential electorate of Latino voters.
Bush filed on Tuesday to run for Texas Land Commissioner, a position which, among other duties, manages the Alamo in San Antonio - a symbol of the often contentious relationship between Mexicans and Anglos in Texas. The current land commissioner is running for lieutenant governor.

Why are you quoting Jesse Jackson?
We have to definitively tie Sinaloa to them shrubs.
Nobody has fought the US - Chicago - being the drug hub of North America.
Americans ain’t doing all these drugs. We’re just moving them, and losing our Country as a result.
Seeya on the other side of the barricades.
El Caudillo!
El Patron!
NOT the political enemy of Texas Republicans
please tell me you can tell the difference.
I’m so sick of these political families. We fought a war to live free of aristocrats, but now we’re making our own. Like we really need more Bushes, Clintons, and Kennedys telling us how to live. What a sick joke!
I would like to second your facepalm. I sure hope kempster was being sarcastic, because Latinos are nowhere close to becoming the majority in this country. They might be a significant voting block (for Democrats), but whites still make up a significant majority. In fact, if whites voted for Republicans anywhere close to the way blacks vote for Democrats, the nation would almost certainly be solid red from coast to coast.
You’re right. 300+ million Americans and we can’t seem to find anyone who isn’t named Bush, Clinton, Kennedy, or Carter to lead us? Like these folks are somehow born with the skills to lead simply by virtue of their last names? We’ve got a zero (diplomatic) experience Kennedy now representing us before one of our most important allies, the Japanese. That’s typical in this day and age when all it takes to get elected is the right last name or connections to one of these powerful political families. This is not what America, aka the Land of the Free, was supposed to be!
Je$$e is a lying, race pimping scumbag, and I wanted to punch him when he said that at the Rats’ convention.
But I have since reached the point at which I realize that conservatives need to distance themselves from the GOPe. And it saddens me, as one who was a very vocal George W supporter in 2000 and 2004, to say that the Bush family is very much in and of the GOPe and needs to be avoided in political positions.
Apparently neither “P” nor Cornball have opposition.
I generally agree, but still would take a Gope over any dem.
I don’t think recycling Old Jesse Jackson lines is ever anything to do.
David Watts and George P Bush are the two GOP filers so far. One democrat has filed.
Filing ends Dec. 9, 2013.

A few have filed but how strong they’ll be is yet to be determined.

(Wondering what link to Zimmerman divorce has to do with Watts and Bush filings ;-)
Disregard the link I first posted to you as it was the wrong one. Sorry about that.
Here is the correct link. Select Travis County and it will bring up all statewide offices, etc.

Stay out the bushes.
Well, I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.
I used to be of like mind, but now I realize that there is not much of a difference anymore between the Rats and the Republican establishment. Sick of being lied to, sick of being represented by leaders who will cave to the left at every turn.

Well, recycling that particular Je$$e line has become a little bit of a FR tradition. (See #56, for example.)
I know. It shouldn’t be. It makes me sad for what has become of the place. Freezers following Jesse Jackson. It’s a tragedy.
Freezers? — GE? Frigidaire?
If such a reference makes you “sad for what has become of” Free Republic, perhaps you are not really a FReeper, as this is classic FR irony.
