CCTAU 3,353 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I like this guy. What will the rest of the US think? Rumored VP Shortlister Jindal to Fundraise With RomneyBy Emily Friedman | ABC OTUS News – 1 hr 36 mins ago BATON ROUGE- He's rumored to be on Mitt Romney's vice presidential short-list, but Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has yet to hit the campaign trail with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. Today he will toe that line, appearing at a high-dollar fundraiser for Romney in at the City Club in downtown Baton Rouge, where a handful of reporters will be permitted access, albeit barred from taking photographs. The last time Jindal and Romney saw each other was at the high-profile donor retreat hosted by the candidate's campaign in Park City, Utah, where Jindal participated on panels and delivered remarks. But that was closed to reporters, who are hard-pressed to find photographic evidence that Jindal and Romney have ever actually been in the same room together, unlike other potential running mates such as former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty - who has appeared with Romney several times during his bus tour last month at events in both New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, another rumored VP shortlister, also accompanied Romney on the Ohio leg of the bus tour. Even Florida Sen. Marco Rubio held a joint press conference and town hall with Romney. A few weeks ago, Jindal joined Pawlenty on their own bus tour of sorts, bracketing President Obama's bus tour stops in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Jindal has also conducted several interviews that served to promote Romney's candidacy, doing Sunday morning show rounds for several consecutive weeks. Jindal, who previously backed former presidential candidate and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, endorsed Romney in April, just hours after former Sen. Santorum suspended his presidential campaig http://news.yahoo.com/rumored-vp-shortlister-jindal-fundraise-romney-130041922--abc-news-politics.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURaptor 1,128 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Arnie - why are you such a racist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,753 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Liberals are racists........they try to hide it but it's not that hard to see. It's called bait the prey (entitlements), lock them in a cage (poverty), and force them to worship your every need (government power). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The most racist part of any post in this thread: the assumption that the "prey" are minorities. Now that s*** is racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't understand the metaphor. Autigeremt is not saying that the poor or minorities SHOULD be prey. He is saying that a specific portion of our leaders treats the poor and minorities as prey to be herded for the government's paternal wishes.

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You don't understand the assumptions built into the metaphor. In order to have any significance for race, you have to assume the people targeted for entitlements are minorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to have any significance for race, you have to assume the people targeted for entitlements are minorities. The poor are disproportionately minority. That is not an assumption.

arnaldoabru 11 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It was just a picture of Alfred E Newman and Bobby Jindel. Somehow you neocons have turned it into a thread about race. Is there such a thing as the reverse race card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
