The Big Conversation
If money's a show of strength, George P. Bush — who's angling for statewide office — just came out swinging.
The Associated Press reports that Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, raised more than $1.3 million from Nov. 7 to Dec. 31.
Bush's considerable haul came partly from family members and figures with political ties to the Bushes. According to the AP, Jeb Bush and former President George W.

God bless him, may God guide him, and may people see the person and not the name. Do you know what he stands for? Do you know his character? Is he doing it to serve the people or to be served? Check out the facts.

If anyone has any doubts that this nation is not an Oligarchy. He serves not God but money. He is there to protect family financial interest. Never a voice of the people always a voice of the ELITE he serves that favors the elite in power. A false God. He will say everything you want to hear just like a good politician. He will run for President and be chosen errrrrr elected. Ha ha ha ha SUCKERS like CoonAss will vote on looks and last name...Fn idiots with no critical thinking get ready for the next phase of the New World Order and One World Government. Your asses are not in their class. You are the peons in their game.

Seems to me if he raised that much money, he could buy a suit that fits properly.

Apparently I could name my cat Bush and get it elected to public office in Texas. My cat would do a better job, too.

Carlos, you were making sense until your true idiocy rang out loud and clear? CoonAss? Dumbass. Take off your tinfoil hat, dude. There's no such thing as NWO. But, holding onto conspiracy theories is a way for intellectually and physically lazy people to ignore the real issues.

Prediction--He will challenge Perry in the primary.

They should also groom Arnold's kid, then they would have the perfect ticket for improved demographics : Bush/Swarzenegger 2020

I was ambivalent about George P. Bush until I read this article. I'm beginning to like his approach much mre as a result of reading this.

No!

Little P got big money from his family and a few friends. Another hint as to what is up with NAFTA

Go back to Florida. No more Bush carpetbaggers.

I have had enough Bushes. Raven Crody GSD pees on Bushes. Lets give pees a chance.

When Bob Perry and Harold Simmons back a candidate it always means he will bow to their agenda. Bush name or not, George P is just another Republican puppet waiting for big money donors to pull his strings.
Michelle Herrera via Texas Tribune on Facebook
The name "Bush" has left a bad taste in everybody's mouth. That family has done enough damage to our nation. No thanks.
