Related: About this forum10 yrs later, another George Bush is touting his opposition to gay marriage in a political campaign
George P. Bush, the nephew of President George W. Bush and a candidate for Texas land commissioner in 2014, is trying to stake out political ground to the right of both his uncle and his grandfather. Fox News Latin reports:
But rather than campaigning on the mainstream Republicanism embodied by the family name, Bush says hes a movement conservative more in line with the tea party.
...George P. Bush proudly proclaims his opposition to marriage equality in the Beliefs section of his campaign website:
I believe in life. I believe life is a sacred gift from God and we must be pro-life and pro-family. And I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

(75,480 posts)1. Thom Hartmann or maybe it was Bill Press, one of them, remarked that
he's following in the family business of not getting a job and living off the taxpayers instead. Doesn't that make them welfare queens?

Will they commission land only to married heterosexual couples?

and assaulting her is between a man and a woman.
