Bush is also from New England. He's a New England preppy whose father happened to move to Texas to make money in oil. The Bush family still hails in part from preppy New England where GW went to Andover-Exeter, Harvard and Yale. I went to a party a year ago at a fancy Boston country club and several Bush cousins were there. They're very snotty high-class preppies, old money aristocrats. Don't be fooled into thinking Bush is some real Texan. He puts on an accent and his ranch has no livestock on it. He doesn't ride horses and can't fly a plane either. He's all talk no action. Just an image thing that's been marketed to the public. However, he is very well connected with the Texas oil industry and big money crowd. Those are the ones he serves. Not us. That's why he realy loves Texas. Because oil money butters his bread.

Well bob, I don't think my discussion of a possible "yankee bias" raised any issues of not being "decent." I expressed some views about the President. I said he didn't appear to be very bright. I said he didn't look very bright either. I admitted that my perception might be influenced by his accent. We may disagree on these things, but I don't understand how that makes me a person who is not decent, or is your enemy in some way. Can't we just say we disagree and leave it at that without attacking each other?
