George Damn Bush Isn't From The South

[Syrinx]

And quit blaming him on us.

He's from Hartford.

Now, please excuse me, I'm going to try to keep (legally and ethically) people from voting for him.

1. New Haven, actually

Newt's not from the South either.
Neither is Bob Barr.

2. Dick Armey is another carpetbagger. n/t

[Syrinx]

5. where's he from

I usually love to hate him, except when he loves freedom, and joins the aclu.

[Solly Mack]

6. North Dakota n/t

[Syrinx]

3. thanks

I had the right state though. :)

[Solly Mack]

4. Welcome

Would hate to offend people in Hartford. :) New Haven is stuck with it.

[Syrinx]

7. God, I bet the Connecticut bigots are better than the liberals from 'Bama

Just joking. Not sure what it means.

8. lol It's OK

Fact remains..these people would have never moved South if a voice wasn't there for them.

They came. They exploited. They got elected.

On edit:

There are a lot of good Bama Liberals on DU. In the interest of fairness...

[Syrinx]

10. sorry if that sounded like an outburst

As a white straight liberal southerner, I keep my back up here a lot, because there's a lot of hatred. Sorry. :)

[Solly Mack]

11. I'm from Georgia

It ain't easy being breezy...

[Syrinx]

13. I think I'll go to bed now

Nice to make your acquaintance. :hi:

[Solly Mack]

14. Nightey-nite!!!

Bed bugs and all that :)..and likewise.

9. The whole family

They're all vampire bats and take wing where ever there's life blood to suck.

[sofa king]

12. He's from Detroit! Rock City!

See?

[Cascadian]

15. Actually I thought he was born in New Haven.

All I know is from what a Texan friend once told me that if you ain't born in Texas, you ain't a real Texan. I like what Molly Ivins said about him "All hat and no cattle." He is a Faux Texan.

16. Carhartt Envy

I worked at an outfitters early in *'s takeover. The men used to crack me up, shopping for their bib overalls and muck suits and imitating * trying to be a "real workin' man."

Many "real Southern men" that some of you would call rednecks cannot stand the twit.

[RoyGBiv]

18. Got that right...

Dubya to man "real" Southern men is akin to the "cowboys" who wear a set of dusters to the bar on Friday night. One does not wear work clothes to the bar. Iridescent paisley shirt and denim jeans starched so sharp you could shave your face with the crease, yes, work clothes no.

17. I've always thought it a bit curious and rather telling. . .

that * is the only member of his family with a southern accent.

He went to highly competitive NE prep schools & universities where he was probably dwarfed in terms of intelligence and cultural acumen.

So why the affectation. . .?

Maybe because he could feel like a big shot only if he pretended to be a good ole boy.

It just reaks of falsity.

[RoyGBiv]

19. "Rather Telling"

Another phrase ruined for me by Dubya cronies, in this case Karen Hughes.

Anyway, yeah. Shrub's accent is so fake -- willfully learned, and badly -- it defies description. He gets the idioms all wrong as well.

[stellanoir]

20. I had no clue that

phrase was associated with KH, but I try to block awareness of her in my consciousness at all times. She always used to resemble a "pit bull" when I saw her in her role as *'s apologist.

I'll try to avoid the phrase like the plague in the future. Thanks for the heads up.

21. He was born in New Haven

However, I read somewhere that in his official WH bio that is left out. He is ashamed of his CT roots. That is no secret. He likes to think of himself as a native born Texas cowboy. Its actually fine with me that he does not admit or God forbid brag that he is from CT. We don't want to claim him! I just feel sorry for the Texans with common sense who see through his phoniness!

[Cascadian]

22. Like I said.....

all hat and no cattle.

23. Who cares what state/region he's from? The real question is...

...did he WIN your state?

If so, then yes, "you" are partly to blame. Get that shit turned around.

[southernleftylady]

24. How long did he live up north? When did he come down south?

his campaign site said he was raised in texas.

[southernleftylady]

25. kick n/t

[Shopaholic]

26. Isn't it interesting that no one else in his family seems to have

the "Texas Twang" that he does. . . .

[southernleftylady]

27. Uhm.. not to be a downer here but..

I just looked it up and he moved to texas at the age of 2... i think he can say he is from texas...
my sister was born in germany and moved over here when she was 7 and she has a southern accent and says she is from tn
