Does GW Bush represent the average Texan, I'm curious as to their take on Bush?

Answer 1

No. Most Texans are nowhere near as liberal as President Bush is.

Answer 2

Most Texans don't go to Yale, or have old money relatives in Maine, or have a daddy in the CIA, or co-own a professional sports team. He's pretty non-typical in that sense.

Basically, if you took the son of a wildcatter from Midland or Odessa, and sent him back east to get educated, you'd have something like George W. Bush. Texas is a fairly conservative state. 40% of all Texas households have at least one firearm. If Harris County, Texas was a seperate state, it would rank 2nd in the nation in the number of executions...behind the rest of Texas.

Most Texans supported the war in Iraq, at least initially, because they're pretty hawkish in general, and because "you stick by your President in times of trouble...better to stick together even if the plan isn't perfect than to argue and cause factions that your enemies can take advantage of". But I'd bet that if you had asked most Texans right after 9/11 what the strategy against terror should be, they say something like "kick those radical Muslims right out of Afghanistan and bring that Osama guy to justice!" Invading Iraq would have probably never crossed their minds.

Answer 3

HOW DO I MAKE human beings comprehend that i do no longer care the place he grow to be born. HOW DO I comprehend WHY human beings supply A RATS HIND end approximately what state the guy grow to be born in. I rather have properties in Oklahoma and Texas and that i've got on no account given a unmarried seconds concept as to if i'm a Texan or an Oklahoman

Answer 4

Forget Texans, The US electorate chose him TWICE,
and apparently still continues to support him.

George W. Bush (Jr.) stares back at every American
who looks at a mirror.

Try taking RESPONSIBILITY for your own decisions and choices, as crazy as that sounds !

Come to think of it, that other loser, LBJ was another
Texan.

You remember, the one who gave us the big loss in Vietnam.
50,000+ dead Americans, something like 2 million dead vietnamese, nothing of the originaly stated objectives obtained, and no lasting stratigic value accomplished.

Sound familiar ?

That's quite a record, LBJ along with Nixon, just might qualify as junior associates in the greatest butchers of the 20th century club, fast company that includes Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Paul Pot, etc,,.

So, we can thank Texas for that one too ?

Gee, remind me, why did we fight the Spanish for the Alamo ?

With friends like Texans, ?

Tell you what, Texans, do America a big, big favour, from now on, and also maybe start thinking about joining Mexico, BEFORE they join you.

LuvUall, Ba-bye

Answer 5

If the average Texan lives on a sprawling ranch, once owned a baseball team, has been leader of the free world....then yes, he represents the average Texan.

Answer 6

Texans have a saying, "all hat and no cattle" This describes bush perfectly. I might add bush is originally from Pennsylvania, so this makes him a "carpet bagger", not a texan.

Answer 7

Bush does not represent the typical Texan, unless you're talking about armadillos.

Answer 8

Naw, lotsa my relatives live in Texas, and except for the accent, there is really no resemblance. They are always tan and love heat. They are nice and kind and love to have a good ol' time. Texans are people just the same as Virginia lovers, California partyers, Florida beach bums, and Wisconson cheeses! (jk on the last one.)

P.S. All my ex's live in Texas, and nobody but Bush and his co-ops lives in Kansas.

Answer 9

I am from Texas and STOP THE STEREOTYPES!!!! There are people in Texas that hate cowboys and country music (not me) but no, other than his accent he does not represent a Texan. Ya'll think that just because he is from Texas that all Texans are like him. We ain't a thing like George.

Answer 10

I have a really good friend from Texas who would be highly insulted at this question. (She's not a Bush fan.)

She would say no way in hell does he represent the average Texan.

As for me - I'm from Pennsylvania. But I would still say no.
