Can you explain why Texans continue to admire all Bushes?
Well they are nice people. I mean politically speaking they are frustrating, but I think as far as getting to “know” them, they seem like very nice people. You can admire someone that you don’t necessarily agree on every issues.
No offense, but all you really know of them is what their handlers present to the public.
Upon entering office, Bush bought a cattle ranch in Crawford and was often seen 'working' on the ranch, clearing brush, driving around in his pickup, etc.
Upon leaving office, he promptly sold the ranch and the pick-up, then bought a condo in Midland.
The whole 'folksy' thing was purely for public consumption. Which is a nice way to say, to dupe conservatives into believing Bush was one of their own.
