<p dir="auto">——美国前总统老布什之子、前总统小布什之弟打破惯例，公开谈论自己的投票选择<br />
2026年10月20日</p>
<p dir="auto">编者按</p>
<p dir="auto">尼尔·布什（Neil Bush）是美国第41任总统乔治·H. W. 布什（老布什）之子、第43任总统乔治·W. 布什（小布什）之弟，也是美国著名政治家族布什家族的成员。他长期从事商业及慈善活动，成长于具有深厚共和党传统的家庭。</p>
<p dir="auto">近日，尼尔·布什在个人脸书发表了一份不同寻常的政治声明。他表示，自己过去从不在脸书发表政治信息，以免冒犯持不同政治观点的朋友。然而，这一次，他决定打破惯例，公开说明自己为何在提前投票中支持民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科（James Talarico）竞选美国参议员。</p>
<p dir="auto">这份声明值得关注，不仅因为作者特殊的家族背景，更因为他明确提出了一个超越党派归属的问题：政治人物的品格、诚信、谦逊、责任感以及对民主制度的尊重，是否应当成为选民判断领导者的重要标准？</p>
<p dir="auto">尼尔·布什在声明中批评了共和党政治人物肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）的行为，同时表达了对塔拉里科政治风格与个人品格的欣赏。他强调，自己依然认同许多传统共和党原则，但政治人物的品格比党派身份更加重要。</p>
<p dir="auto">这是一位具有共和党家族背景的美国公民对当代政治领导力、政党忠诚与民主责任的个人思考。无论读者持何种政治立场，这份声明都提供了一个观察美国政治分歧与跨党派选择的窗口。</p>
<p dir="auto">以下为声明全文中文翻译。</p>

<p dir="auto">尼尔·布什脸书声明全文</p>
<p dir="auto">我从未在脸书上发表过政治言论，因为我不愿冒犯那些政治观点可能与我截然不同的朋友。</p>
<p dir="auto">但是今天，我决定打破这个惯例。因为我今天参加了提前投票，并且把票投给了竞选美国参议员的詹姆斯·塔拉里科（James Talarico）。</p>
<p dir="auto">促使我作出这一选择的原因有两个：一是我对肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）过往记录的深切担忧；二是我由衷欣赏詹姆斯·塔拉里科所展现出的品格与原则。</p>
<p dir="auto">作为得克萨斯州总检察长，帕克斯顿的行为一直令我深感不安，尤其是他曾试图挑战其他州2020年总统大选的结果，以帮助唐纳德·特朗普继续掌权。</p>
<p dir="auto">我认为，这种做法是对美国民主制度以及和平移交权力传统的公然冒犯。</p>
<p dir="auto">对他的判断力和行为提出质疑的，绝不只有我一个人。他曾遭到共和党控制的得克萨斯州众议院弹劾，尽管后来得克萨斯州参议院裁定他无罪。</p>
<p dir="auto">从更广泛的角度来看，我认为唐纳德·特朗普及那些支持、纵容他的人，已经对共和党造成了巨大的伤害。</p>
<p dir="auto">我担忧的是这样一种政治文化：对某个个人的忠诚凌驾于对原则的忠诚之上，而那些掌握权力的人开始相信，自己不再需要承担责任，也不必接受问责。</p>
<p dir="auto">但是，我今天的投票，远远不只是为了反对肯·帕克斯顿。</p>
<p dir="auto">我从未见过詹姆斯·塔拉里科本人，但他处理复杂和争议性问题的方式，给我留下了极其深刻的印象。</p>
<p dir="auto">他说话尊重他人，努力寻求共同点，并且似乎真诚地希望把人们团结起来，而不是制造更多分裂。</p>
<p dir="auto">他的信仰似乎深深植根于谦逊、同情心和坚定的信念，而不是被当作一种政治武器。</p>
<p dir="auto">我在他身上看到了自己最欣赏的公共服务者品质：正直、文明、谦逊，以及愿意倾听不同意见的胸怀。</p>
<p dir="auto">在我看来，他是一位坚持原则、注重务实的领导者。他明白，担任公职意味着承担服务公众的责任，而不是理所当然地享有权力。</p>
<p dir="auto">我一生中的大部分时间都是共和党人。直到今天，我仍然深信许多传统共和党的原则。</p>
<p dir="auto">但是，政治人物的品格比党派归属更加重要。</p>
<p dir="auto">我们的民主制度有赖于这样的领导者：他们尊重制度、讲真话、接受问责，并且致力于团结人民，而不是制造分裂。</p>
<p dir="auto">今天，我投票反对的是一种我认为已经伤害了我们国家的政治作风。</p>
<p dir="auto">更重要的是，我把票投给了我所期望的那种品格与领导力——一种有望帮助这个国家弥合创伤的领导力。</p>

<p dir="auto">英文原文：</p>
<p dir="auto">这不是学术报告，而是Neil Bush 的脸书声明！I have never posted a political message on Facebook not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I’m breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate.</p>
<p dir="auto">My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton’s record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have been deeply troubled by Paxton’s conduct as Texas Attorney General, particularly his decision to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election in other states in an effort to help Donald Trump remain in power. I believe that effort was an affront to our democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power. My concerns about his judgment and conduct are hardly mine alone. He was impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House, although subsequently acquitted by the Texas Senate.</p>
<p dir="auto">More broadly, I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable.</p>
<p dir="auto">But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve never met James Talarico, but I have been enormously impressed by the way he approaches complicated and controversial issues. He speaks with respect, seeks common ground, and seems genuinely interested in bringing people together rather than driving them apart. His faith appears to be a deeply rooted source of humility, compassion, and conviction rather than a political weapon.</p>
<p dir="auto">I see in him the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees. My impression is that he is a principled, pragmatic leader who understands that public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have been a Republican for most of my life, and I still believe deeply in many traditional Republican principles. But character matters more than party affiliation. Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide.</p>
<p dir="auto">Today, I voted against a style of politics that I believe has damaged our country. More importantly, I voted for the kind of character and leadership I hope will help heal it.</p>
