Bush relatives use website to show support for Kerry

6 second cousins protest policies

By Sandeep Kaushik, Boston Globe

SEATTLE -- Six blood relatives of President Bush who support John F. Kerry's bid for the presidency have launched a website to publicize their sharp disagreements with Bush's policies.

The site, www.bushrelativesforkerry.com, consists of personal statements from a group of decidedly liberal second cousins of the president, none of whom knows him personally. All are grandchildren of Mary Bush House, the sister of Prescott Bush, a former US senator from Connecticut and the father and grandfather of the two Bush presidents.

The introduction to the site opens with the slogan, "Because blood is thicker than oil!" and states: "As the election approaches, we feel it is our responsibility to speak out about why we are voting for John Kerry, and to do our small part to help America heal from the sickness it has suffered since George Bush was appointed President in 2000. We invite you to read our stories, and please, don't vote for our cousin!"

1. Right on, Shrub cousins! The site is really cool.

I guess they cornered the market on the brains in the family.

2. THis is great...nice to know not everyone

in the bush clan is evil..

" can't describe us as particularly close to the Bush family," said Sheila House. ''I've never met George W. Bush and don't particularly care to."

7. My sentiments exactly!

"not everyone in the Bush clan is evil.."

Or one would hope. This is very good and interesting news.

3. See, GWB has divided families and our nation!

This is very courageous of the cousins and I thank them for speaking out!

6. They should put together an ad. I did correspond with a Bush cousin

years ago who had some not so nice things to say, didn't know her "real" name, but she was no fan of his. I wonder if she is a member of the "house" family?
