George P. Bush, son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush, has made a campaign filing required of anyone planning to seek office in Texas.
Bush filed a campaign treasurer appointment Wednesday, a requirement for someone to become a candidate under campaign finance law, the Associated Press reported. A member of the Texas Ethics Commission told the AP the filing did not specify which office Bush, 36, might seek.
An attorney and real estate developer, the Fort Worth resident has been active in fundraising for Hispanic Republicans and co-founded the Hispanic Republicans of Texas. According to the Dallas Morning News, Bush has been dubbed “47″ by some, a reference to the presidential number.
Bush, whose mother was born in Mexico, told the McAllen, Texas Monitor last month he was at least considering running for office.
“After Election Day we’ll see where it leads — I’ve been encouraged to run for office in 2014,” he said in October. “I’m more drawn to state government, issues with education.”
Ana Navarro, who was John McCain’s national Hispanic co-chair in 2008, tweeted her enthusiasm about Bush’s campaign filing Thursday.
“Wrote check for my friend, @georgepbush newly formed exploratory committee for office in TX. Young, pragmatic, Hispanic, just what GOP needs,” Navarro tweeted.
According to the Associated Press, Bush served in the Navy, including a six-month stint in Afghanistan, where he was given a different name for security purposes.
Bush has not commented about the campaign filing.

Nov. 9, 2012 at 11:52amThe RINO’s are ready to ditch the Conservatives in favor of gaining the Hispanics. Well, I guess you’d need to get the statistics on the Hispanic birth rate to determine whether or not that would be a good tradeoff. I will never again vote for a Bush, preferring to stay at home instead. Think about it, party bosses.

Nov. 10, 2012 at 4:45amANOTHER George “New World Order” Bush? Will the madness never end?
Yes, it will, but at such a cost:
“2 Billion to Die in World War 3″
http://www.endtime.com/blog/2-billion-to-die-in-world-war-3/
” ‘And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for TO SLAY THE THIRD PART OF MEN.’ (Revelation 9:15) … This time, there won’t be 8.2 million dead [WW1]. There won’t be 52 million dead [WW2]. This time 2 BILLION human beings will be annihilated from the face of the earth! We are talking about 40 times the fatalities of World War II!”
“According to Revelation 9:14, the prophesied war will originate from the area of the Euphrates River [ALL ISLAMIC DOMINATED LANDS!]. The Euphrates River is located in Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran.”
“When will it happen?”
“According to the biblical prophetic timeline given in scripture, four major prophetic fulfillments will occur at approximately the same time.
* The international community’s adoption of a peace plan for the Middle East
* The building of Israel’s temple on the Temple Mount
* Preparations being made for the implementation of the mark of the beast
* The Euphrates River War”

Nov. 9, 2012 at 11:48amI may only agree with Jessie Jackson once in my life but I agree with “Action” Jackson when he proclaimed “Stay out da Bush’s”. George W. is a big part of why we are where we are today. He let the left define him. He refused to rebut their lies. He had the bully pulpit and failed to use it to bypass the media spin machine.
All you need to know about George P. is that he is a Bush. Jeb is a blob of jello. You know how Vladamir Putin portrays himself as a tough guy? He takes off his shirt and partakes in manly activities like martial arts and sky diving? Jeb Bush gives off the opposite image. The only bigger butter ball in the GOP is Krispy Kream Christie. Michelle Bachman could kick Jeb’s ass. Tennis players look like tough guys compared to Jeb.
No more Bush’s, please. New blood.. New energy. It’s obvious the American public wants nothing to do with republican establishment candidates. Rand Paul is articulate, reasonable, rational, accomplished in life outside politics. He’d be great. There are many others who would be great as well. I would be on the bandwagon to support any and all opposition to another Bush presidential run. The Bush’s have done enough harm to this country. If the establishment tries to put forth another Bush for president, a 3rd party movement will surely arise.

Nov. 9, 2012 at 11:21amDon’t underestimate him and give him a chance!!! Has anyone noticed that Hispanics fell for the free candy and voted in droves for the communist king? I live in Texas and most Hispanics are very family oriented and fit virtually all the conservatives values…yet they voted for the opposite. Bush is a house hold name (be it good or bad) and if you want to get this country out of the hands of highly ignorant liberal communists and want any kind of future that resembles the America we had before Obama knew he could play the racist card to eight years of releasing his hate for America and its founding principles on us that we inherited from our grandparents…you best get behind him!!! Rubio is out right now trying to figure out why Hispanics voted against their principles. Obama is America’s curse for turning our heads away from God and if you want any kind of future for America…you better get behind candidates like him!!! We need conservatives like him that are young and hip to get the highly dumba$$, blinded, lemming youth vote and Hispanics will vote conservative!!! Blacks will vote for anyone who has free candy…it’s the way it is…even more so when the candy giver is half black!!! They voted for obama just because of that reason and the free stuff simple insured an already done deal…the conservative right better get organized and energized like the racist left or this country is gone!!!

Nov. 9, 2012 at 11:52amI’m Puerto Rican and was raised to believe that all Republicans are rich bloodsuckers that don’t care about anyone but other rich, white Republicans. As I grew up I saw the democrats as the party that took care of people. I eventually realized that a democrats idea of helping was to keep certain groups of people chained to a system that would, with few exceptions, never allow them to truly get ahead. They would always throw out another freebie and scare tactic to keep minorities in their pockets.
I began to read for myself all the accomplishments of the Republican Party in regard to civil rights. I soon realized that Republicans want to help you make something of yourself, not keep you stuck in hopeless despair. We have third, fourth and soon fifth generation welfare recipients who learned that way of life from their parents who learned from their parents.
My father is a decorated 30 year veteran, my sister’s ex was a PJ and her son a Combat Rescue Officer. Both voted for Obama. If I was to ask them how they would feel if Obama left their grandson/son on a rooftop and murdered him I’m certain all I would get in response is a shrug followed by a diatribe against Bush.
That’s the mentality of minorities due to complete ignorance on their part. When I see black people today and compare them to black people I knew growing up it just amazes me how far they’ve fallen. Oh and when libs talk about the Latino vote, it’s all about Mexicans. All of Spanish heritage are di

No disrespect, but you yourself lumped all hispanics into one group, by declaring you grew up believing that repubs were basically evil. Who taught you that,someone in your family? Admirally you got out from under the democrats thumb,but what are you doing now, to get the rest of “your people, if you will, out of democrat controll?! Sadly,this is one reason this country is so disfunctional, we have allowed politicians to seperate Americans, into certain groups, ie…racial, class etc…Stop being a “X” person or group, and start being Americans again…….And as far as this Bush running for something in Texas, what he needs to run for is the border,no one will vote for him, no matter what he campaigns on,as the kids say, Bush, “gtfo”….

For that reason alone, I think some women should not be permitted to vote without adequate adult supervision. SMH…
