Huffington Post – by PAUL J. WEBER and WILL WEISSERT
AUSTIN, Texas — George P. Bush, a rising star among Hispanic conservatives and the grandson of one president and nephew of another, has taken the first step toward seeking elected office in Texas.
But it’s unclear what his next step will be.
The 36-year-old attorney from Fort Worth has filed a two-page candidate reporting declaration with the Texas Ethics Commission but didn’t list which office he plans to seek. Bush did not return messages at his consulting firm Friday, and his campaign treasurer was traveling in Oklahoma and unavailable for comment.
Still, word of yet another Bush coming to Texas ballots was cheered by Republicans across the state, where party leaders are well aware that they will need Hispanic voters if they want to continue dominating politics here over the next two decades the way they did during the last two.
“It’s a positive thing to have something besides old white guys like me on the ballot,” said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson.
A Democrat has not won statewide office in Texas since 1994, but Hispanics accounted for two-thirds of Texas’ population growth over the last decade and now make up 35 percent of its population. Mitt Romney’s failure to connect with Latinos is being cited as a reason for his defeat by President Barack Obama, who carried 71 percent of the Hispanic vote nationwide.
“I think George P. Bush is the future of the party,” said George Antuna, who co-founded the Hispanic Republicans of Texas with Bush. “Whichever office he decides to seek, we will support him 110 percent.”
Bush is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his wife, Columba, who was born in Mexico. His uncle is George W. Bush and his grandfather is George H.W. Bush.
George P. Bush speaks Spanish and has been active in politics for years. In August, he was promoted to deputy finance chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
The filing answers at least one question: Texas or Florida?
Bush grew up in the Sunshine State but met his wife Amanda while attending law school at the University of Texas. He later became a partner in a real estate investment company and has since started Fort Worth-based St. Augustine Partners, a business consulting firm.
As recently as September, Bush said he was being recruited to run for statewide office by Texas GOP brass. That same month, however, he launched a four-day bus tour of Florida to drum up support for the Republican Party among college students there.
“I know he has a passion for Texas. Texas is where his granddad lives, where his uncle lives and a lot of other family members,” Antuna said. “He’s always been a Texan. It just took him a little while to get here.”
Democratic state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer noted that the Texas Republican Party platform supports English-only laws and opposes extending legal status to immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. He also said the party wants to do away with pre-kindergarten classes and the federal health care law, even though 65 percent of pre-kindergarten students statewide are Latinos and the health care overhaul would extend coverage to 3.3 million uninsured Hispanic Texans.
“Either George P. Bush is going to change the Republican Party of Texas or the Republican Party of Texas is going to change George P. Bush,” said Martinez Fischer, who chairs the Mexican American Legislative Caucus. “When you consider the extreme views and leaders of the party today, I’m going to put my money on them.”
Bush’s paperwork was filed at a time of great uncertainty among top Texas Republicans.
Rick Perry succeeded Bush’s uncle as Texas governor in 2000 and has now held the job longer than anyone in history. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has been in his post for a decade. Both are eying re-election runs in 2014.
That’s sparked a logjam among GOP statewide officeholders, many of whom are anxious to move up – and that was before Bush entered the fray.
Attorney General Greg Abbott has raised $14 million, presumably to run for governor. Patterson and Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples have already said they will challenge Dewhurst, while Comptroller Susan Combs and state Sen. Dan Patrick are also expected to run for lieutenant governor.
As a newcomer, Bush will likely wait to see how the field settles before he announces what office he’ll pursue.
If Perry decides not to seek another term as governor in 2014 – a possibility since he may want to run for president two years later – then Bush will likely want to run for attorney general. But if Abbott stays put, Bush is expected to run for land commissioner while Patterson campaigns for lieutenant governor.
Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Perry and the Bush family don’t get along very well. Perry served as George W. Bush’s lieutenant governor and once unsuccessfully sought a judicial appointment for his brother-in-law, whom Bush shunned.
Both sides claim the feud has long since cooled, but the Bush family made no secret of its support for Romney, even when Perry briefly challenged him for the Republican presidential nomination. And Jeb Bush has been mentioned as a possible presidential hopeful for 2016, which could pit him against Perry.
Patterson said he believes either attorney general or land commissioner is George P. Bush’s likeliest potential destination. The land commissioner administers state-owned lands and mineral resources.
“He comes from pretty decent lineage of folks who’ve been successful in politics,” Patterson said.
Meanwhile, all officeholders will keep an eye on Bush to see if he tries to follow in Ted Cruz’s footsteps.
Instead of working his way up the Texas GOP ladder, Cruz ran for the U.S. Senate in his first election. He stunned Dewhurst in the Republican primary before being elected Tuesday as successor to retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
This is something the people of Texas should keep in mind :
” Sarah , if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bush’s have done to this nation , we would be chased down in the streets and lynched “.
G.B. sr. speaking to Sarah McClendon Dec. of 1992 . In an interview !!!
A fitting end to a cancer upon this nation .
Great! Just what we need. Another Bush in office. Why is it that the only candidate a GOP can put in office is a Bush? Ever think of that? Our last two Republican presidents have been Bush and now if this is what they say it is, we could have a third Bush in office as the third GOP presidential candidate in a row. You’d think the Bush’s own or were the kings of the GOP or something. And the sheeple still don’t see through this? Unbelievable!
Always a different Democratic candidate, but the same GOP candidate. Of course we know that both parties and candidates are one and the same anyways, but you know what I mean.
““He comes from pretty decent lineage of folks who’ve been successful in politics,” Patterson said.”
Decent lineage? BAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAA!!!! ROLFMAO!!! That’s funny.
It’s all about keeping their (blood line) lineage within the elite, global control, status with them I’m guessing.
No Cathleen. They’re not even in the top families that ‘control’ the world. But it’s a given that somewhere back down the line, they’re related to them.
If you haven’t already done so, I highly recommend reading “Bloodlines of the Illuminati”, by Fritz Springmeier. It’s the best history of the ‘ruling’ elite that I’ve come across. From their origins, to present day, it exposes the top 13 Illuminati families and their Satanic agenda.
It also has the histories of a half dozen or so families just below them.
I agree with both of you.
You’re absolutely right, #1.
Cathleen, you’re right about the Bush ego.
Just think…Three Generations of Bush in Office… The next generation Must have the Hispanic vote….How better to do it than with a half Mexican Bush?
Exactly Angel…
Problem is, he’s a Bush, translation- “big time conservative”. Don’t think he will be able to pull it off. Especially if Carl Rove takes him under his smelly arm pit. I can just see Dick Morris now trying to push Bush Jr. on the public.
Yup.
GGRREEAAATTTT!!!!
Now,.. Hannibal Lecter wants to put his nephew into office.
Just what this country needs,… another treasonous piece-of-garbage psychopath doing everything in his power to destroy us.
When the revolution comes,.. it is time to behead all of these traitors to the last. Let not one of them survive lest will be forced to eradicate the pestilence of their disease again at a later date.
JD – US Marines – People who allow treason, are just a guilty as those who commit it. It is time for America to stop being a nation of traitors by refusing to allow traitors to run this country, and by exterminating traitors,.. with extreme prejudice.
Aw JD, you say Hannible Lecter well I was kinda thinkin` Leather face from Texas Chainsaw Massacres – Leather face was the real dumb one of the family – As if they are not all frickin` nuts. LOL.
Probably the most corrupt family in politics today. War mongering criminals who profit from war. Special place in hell for the old man and his criminal son, George Jr. They have stolen billions from us and they’re still walking free and living large.

The satanic cult known as the “Bush Dynasty” is arguably the most depraved family on the face of this earth. By all rights, H.W. (Bush 1) and G.W. (Bush 2) should be immediately arrested and if found guilty by a jury of their peers be sentenced to death! If Obama did just this one thing, he would be memorialized as our greatest president. But according to unnamed sources, Obama regularly confers with Bush 1&2 and seeks their approval for his immoral actions.
Prescott Bush: Helped finance Hitler regime and profited through the deaths of millions.
George H.W. Bush: While employed by the CIA, Bush helped plan and execute the Murder of President John F. Kennedy and was present in Dallas on 11-22-63.

As Vice President, he oversaw the formation of a secret parallel government and operated it directly from the whitehouse. He also bribed the Iranians to hold our hostages until Ronald Reagan was sworn into office on January 20, 1981.
His activities included: 1. Iran Contra. 2. death and torture sqads. 3. over 1 millions pounds of cocaine flown directly into the U.S.on CIA planes. 4. Participated in homosexual and depraved pedohphile acts with children and had child prostitutes flown in from Boy’s Town to tour the Whitehouse. 5. Declared the “war on drugs” after he had destroyed millions of lives and then destroyed millions of more lives. Told generals in Gulf war 1 not to invade Iraq when it was winable and that, “we’ll get back to that later.”
Neil Bush: Along with his brother Jeb and Daddy Bush orchestrated the Silverado savings and loan disaster costing tax payers 1.4 TRILLION DOLLARS!!! Siverado was also a drug money laundering center for the CIA.
George W. Bush: #1 war criminal along with Dick Cheny, et al. Alleged to have orchestrated 911 along with his brother Marvin Bush, head of security for the WTC. Illegally invaded Afghanistan and destroyed Iraq. Allowed Cheney to run whitehouse staff while pretending to ber “Pro-Life”. Allowed Terri Schiavo to be murdered in Florida after receiving petitions from over 100,000 people begging him to sign executive order sparing here life.

Entertained male prostitute Jeff Gannon at whitehouse for months and was alleged to have been homosexual. Was heavy drinker and cocaine user and had I.Q. measured at 57 while in college.
This is A miserable bastard family whose father is satan!
BE FORWARNED!!!!!
Great. That’s what er need, a 4th generation war profiteer and war criminal. What’s one more shrub?
Its a game to them.
I will not fall for any person/s running for office until the coming storm has been quelled……..and then I will dayum sure make sure he is honest,…as I hold his life responsible for the public trust invested to him…….Wanna bet we get honest public servants then!! ???
Oh…..and for commensurate pay or compensation……the Minimum wage they voted for.!!!
Like us oldvet – we didn`t vote so why should we follow their figure of speach laws! I know you did not vote so why be forced into following that what we did not agree on. Screw that and the horse it rode in on. we like us can make sure – oldvet – make those that voted follow the laws they believe in! Damnit and that is right!!! We are on the same side oldvet.
Everyone set their zero for 400 meters it’s retard season. The jaw is a little more slack and the facial expression a little more dull as each generation of these idiots come on Faux Noose for their Raw, Raw. Let’s take this varmint out before it overpopulates and eats the few crops we still have.

What happened to Jeb Bush? I thought Kissinger was going to give him the Presidential suite next time around? I guess Jeb is still too busy fixing the kinks in the voting machines.
Yes, they’re talking about Jeb for the next one.
“Young Blood” is being groomed for another election. First, TX Governor, then…
Imagine…Four Bush Presidents…
If they get another Bush in office, I’m gonna have to go to the Bush compound and blow up their next of kin and their wives to make sure they don’t have any more babies to add to their family bloodline who will want to continue their Royal Family Rule over our country in the future. Anyone care to join me?
Only if I can post it on You Tube.
I can loan you my Guy Fawkes mask, if you like.

George P. Bush looks more Mexican than White. I guess this is how they are going to bring in the North American Union. With a half White/half Mexican to symbolize the occasion. How convenient. Can’t these Skull and Bones assholes just crawl back into their hole and stay there? No one likes them anymore. Their secret society is pathetic. Someone needs to burn their little Skull and Bones Tavern to the ground and leave no stone unturned.
Don’t forget Hitlery will be running. She’ll be getting ALL the women’s & the so-called ‘Jews’ votes. (AND financial backing).
I still don’t see Hitlery running for president. It’s just not her. She needs something bigger. The presidency is too small for her now. She needs a New World Order type of manipulative political control. Like a U.N. position or something. I’m just not getting the vibe of her running for president anymore. She may want to be the first woman president, but her ambitions actually would make her want to strive for something higher than that this time around. But again, that’s just me.
I think she wants to be head-honcho at the I.M.F.
Yea, that’s what I’m thinking, too. Although, I heard she was declined the position, but who knows.
I’m sure whoever would deny her anything would end up ala Vince Foster and the rest of the Clinton victims
But just think, then she could legalize homosexual marriage on a federal level, and marry Napukeitano. LOL
#1, Janet Napolitano is not her type. She doesn’t have big boobs. She needs someone like Christina Aguilera. They both share the same brains, fake two-faced laugh and fake two-faced personality.
You must know by now that Hitlery and Christina are secret lovers. Christina sings Hitlery to sleep every night by chanting Hitlery’s witchcraft spells as loud as her voice will go. After all, we know Hitlery let her out of the “genie bottle” a few years ago by “rubbing her the right way”, so to speak. lol
And hopefully with all of them inside . The ultimate pig-roast .
I do not know how appropriate this is but here we go – Hilary C. singing ” A hunk a hunk of burnin` love , OOOOO” ROFLMF`N AO!!!! No doubt, a pig roast any one?, stand up and take a bite off that swine pig. Miss camel toe her self! LOL.
We can always throw in Big Sis for the hell of it .
