A Bush, a Cheney, and a Carter will be on the ballot next year, but this is no ’80s flashback or stroll down memory lane.

In the 2014 midterm races, the children and grandchildren of former presidents and a vice president are all trying to make their own political names.

The latest addition to a growing list is Jason Carter, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, who announced Thursday he’s running for governor of Georgia. The Democratic state senator will try to unseat incumbent Republican Gov. Nathan Deal. Jason Carter

Meanwhile, Liz Cheney – the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney – is challenging incumbent Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wy.) in the Cowboy State’s GOP primary.

And while it’s not a federal race, George P. Bush – the grandson of one president (George H.W. Bush), the nephew of another (George W. Bush), and the son of a former governor (Jeb Bush) – is running for land commissioner in Texas.

I am from Texas and a conservative, and I don't want anymore Bushes. Can we just wish them away?

The Ruling Class continues to rear its ugly head

And the people are dumb enough to be smitten and bribed accordingly

I wonder how much all of these endorsers got paid. Many of them are moderates, although I see some conservatives like James White and Van Taylor. http://www.georgepfortexas.org/endorsements>

Here’s a political mechanism for you; if any family - any - has had more than one president, declare them a political dybasty and make any more public positionns illegal. If they persist, deal with it in the harshest possible terms.

No more family.
