Is George W Bush really a Texan?

George W Bush was born in Conneticut, and then he went to bording school at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Later, he atteneded college at both Yale and Harvard. Yet, he now tries claims to be native Texans.

Personally, I don't really care if he is Texan or a New Englander, but I just want to know why more people don't seem to have noticed. Does anyone who move to Texas suddenly become a native Texan? How much work did his handlers have to do to pull this off? Why do Texans let Bush damage the reputation of their state?

How do you know this?

It could just be some pro da the DNP could be pulling off. They would do anything to screw Bush. So why not say he's not a Native Texan, either! Heck, next thing we know they'll be saying Bush oversaw 9-11!

I always though he was from Texas, funny.

Crontab, I think everyone knows this. Apparently, George likes Texas better. I agree, it does seem strange to refer to someone who was raised in the Northeast and who graduated from Yale and Harvard as a Texan, but I guess there's no particular amount of time you have to be there to become a Texan.
He once was a co owner of the Texas Rangers, I imagine that would give him automatic induction, huh?

Just go to www.vote-smart.org to look up his bio. This is a good site to find out real information about all elected officials.

Okay, I see..Right. And this "Vote Smart" is Liberal, yes?

Vote-Smart is liberal===NO
It's unbiased. Look for yourself.

Okay, just don't want to waste my time when I simply could ask.

Don't mean to be a jerk, but....this matters why? I just don't see any relevance to anything.

The Democratic party has a long History and a recent reputation of being Liberal. Pro-Choice, Yes to Marriage, no to NRA. Stuff like that, so that's why I asked if it was a Liberal Site.
