Jeb's collecting money for him.

Jeb's son eyes Texas Land Commissioner post

It's been no secret that Jeb Bush's son, George P. Bush, has an interest in political office, and now he's taking steps to run for Texas Land Commissioner, which is a much more important office in the Lonestar state than it might sound. Here's a letter former Gov. Jeb Bush sent out seeking support for his son:



November 13th, 2012
Dear Jeb Alumni member:

Last week, George P. opened a campaign account to explore the opportunity to run for statewide office in Texas. I am writing to ask that you consider making a personal contribution as he begins his quest for public service.

While the election is in 2014, it is important to show early financial support, particularly in a state as big as Texas. The office that George is considering running for is Land Commissioner which overseas the mineral rights, commercial real estate owned and sovereign submerged lands of the State of Texas as well as veterans affairs and historic archives.

George’s experience and skills match the job. In business, he has helped build a successful real estate fund business, and practiced law. In addition, he currently serves as an Intelligence Officer in the Navy Reserves. In that capacity, he served in Afghanistan for nine months last year.

Politically, George has earned the right to run by being Chairman of MAVPac, which is now a national organization, Chairman of Hispanic
Republicans of Texas, an active surrogate of the Romney/Ryan ticket and Deputy Finance Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas.
Ok, what can I say? I am proud of my son. I hope you will write a personal check to George P. Bush Campaign, 604 E. 4th St., Suite 201, Ft. Worth, TX 76102.

Respectfully,
Jeb

How is it "a much more important office in the Lonestar state than it might sound"?
Is this the job you get before becoming governor? or to steal peoples' land through eminent domain? Build a super highway?
What's he gonna pull?

I think Texas Land Commissioner was the office that David Dewhurst held before he ran for Lieutenant Governor.

Here is the sequence:

Land Commissioner>Lieutenant Governor>Governor>President>Disgraced

It predates the office of governor...so it's a fairly powerful position in Texas politics. So some would see it as a stepping stone for governor.

Is there like a huge ass tax on giving your kid a new name each generation?

Or do Americans simply not comprehend the point of the surname?!?

if he wins it will be the excuse for Jeb to run in 2016, and/or George P to run against Ted Cruz in 2018

I am thoroughly convinced George P. Bush was bred to bring hispanics into the big government wing of the GOP.

There's that classic Bush deer in the headlights look. I'd put money on them having at least one relative that has cut their thumb off because they couldn't count to ten.

Is it just me, or does the Bush family have a thing for the name "George"?

Definitely seems like a stepping stone to governor and who knows what higher office.

I'm from a different part of the country, but would gladly participate in any money bombs for Medina - for any office she might choose to run for. :) Been a fan since watching the cheating at the Nueces County Republican Convention (2008), made a small donation to help pay for the lawsuit, and to her campaign for governor.
(They had to have Glenn Beck smear her on the air, in order to knock her out of the race! :mad:)

She'd be a wonderful asset in Rand's cabinet! or as VP?
edit: just remembered - her family is full of "hispanics" too.

Cheating heard starting around 1:32, realization sets in around 3:32, real outrage by 4:45.
Same ploy as Boehner used at the RNC 2012!

edit: Hell, I'm gonna start a new thread about drafting Medina!
