10 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 he’s “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.

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?
