Cross Jindal Off McCain VP List
Jul 23rd 2008 10:04PM
Filed Under:eRepublicans, John McCain, Breaking News, Veepstakes
Via CNN, GOP rising star Bobby Jindal puts the breaks on all the vice-presidential speculation:
"I'm not going to be the vice presidential nominee or vice president," Jindal said. "I'm going to help Senator McCain get elected, as governor of Louisiana."
"Let me be clear: I have said in every private and public conversation, I've go the job I want," Jindal also said.
One thing Jindal might do is deliver the keynote address at the Republican Convention. Baring a McCain win in November, look for him to warm to the idea of being vice president (hey, maybe even president) in 2012.
Question: Did Mitt Romney's hopes just get that much brighter? How about Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty?
And did Robert Novak run over that person in the crosswalk today because he was still fuming about potentially being duped by McCain's senior advisers over when John would announce his VP choice? Or does Novak simply have a thing against pedestrians in general? So many questions.

Jindal was never a good VP choice for McCain. He just got the Governor's job not long ago, and a 37 year old as a running mate for a 71 year old? Yeah, McCain needs someone younger, but not that youthful. I don't pretend to be an expert on Jindal's politics, but here is at least one GOP candidate Republicans can promote; an man of Indian descent. After all, wasn't that one of Bush's silly slogans, about being the "big tent party?" Trouble is, they have never looked like the big tent party. Maybe Jindal is a start for them.
mimi11:25AMJul 24th 2008
I am disappointed that Jindal will not be a contender for the VP slot for McCain.....I like Jindal and feel he will be a strong contender for the white house in the near future......and yes he is not an Obama, thank God. My only dilema will be Jindal and Clinton running in 2012. McCain 08

Miss Dupree,
What evidence do you have that Bobby Jindal is "pandering" to the La KKK?
Please present the FACTS, not your own personal editorial.

Bobby Jindal's work in Louisiana has just begun and he's off to a great start.
I thank him for taking the time and making the sacrifices to help set our state right before moving on to more ambitious goals, whatever they may be.
As far as his being corrupt and owned by the Ku Klux Klan, well that is as ignorant a statement as I've ever heard.
Thanks for the Laugh
emy12:26PMJul 24th 2008
Wow Ms Dupree: I prefer Jhindal more than I do the communist BHO,where did you get that ok KKK.
It' a fact that BHO is friend with terrorist Ayers and sit in a hate filled church for 20 years. get your facts straight

If I was arrested 30 years ago and convicted of child molestation --- but since then, I told you I had reformed and am now living a decent life, would you allow me to babysit your grandchildren? I THINK NOT! I believe you would always wonder if your grandchildren would be safe --- based on my “past history”!
FROM OBAMA'S BOOKS:
Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”
From Dreams of My Father : “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”
From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
From Audacity of Hope: “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”
You can't change a tiger's stripes. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES --- HE HAS TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS AND ANTI-AMERICANS.
WE CANNOT IGNORE THIS MAN’S “PAST HISTORY”.
McCAIN IN 2008 - HILLARY IN 2012.
NO EXPERIENCE1:49PMJul 24th 2008
HE'S GOING ON A "WORLD TOUR" --- AT OUR EXPENSE --- AND HE'LL COME BACK AND EXPLAIN HIS "FOREGN EXPERIENCE". WHAT A JOKE.
WHY DID HE TAKE 300 ADVISORS TO EUROPE? LAST TIME I CHECKED, EUROPEANS CAN'T VOTE FOR OUR PRESIDENT --- OR CAN THEY? OBAMA HAS TIES TO ANTI-AMERICANS AND TERRORISTS. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU VOTE FOR.
Obama is an empty suit, created by the media with the help of the Chicago political machine. He is a weakling whose strings are manipulated by Kennedy, Kerry-Heinz and Joe Biden. He is at their beck and call and is unable to make a decision without their help. An empty suit. Obama further created a cult which was incited to hate the Clintons and John McCain.
Along with the above three are Howard Dean, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, who are panting for Obama to become nominated --- they are further manipulation. Pelosi wants to be the first female president.
The Democratic party is split and I for one, will be glad to see it buried and never alive again. The big-wig democrats stabbed Hillary in the back.
I will vote for McCain and I will campaign that each of the above, when faced with their own re-election, may not win. Obama is an unknown. He has told too many lies. He has no leadership experience and is not qualified to become president.
And, Yeah --- I AM A TYPICAL, HARD-WORKING, MIDDLE-CLASS, BLUE COLLAR PERSON.
They should have counted Florida and Michigan. Florida voted. Both candidates were on the ticket. Michigan has an election in August. They should have added Hillary and Obama to the August ticket!
Vote for America!
Vote for John McCain in 2008 --- Hillary in 2012.

Jamie Dupree is probably just an ignorant, racist black who hates the white man and blames her sorry state on us crackas! State some facts, not this BS Jindal-KKK conspiracy theory. That is about as stupid as the whole "aids-to-kill-blacks" theory that Rev. Wright subscribes too.

to: Emy..
I hope your realize how idiotic you sound. Obama was a nine year old child when Ayers was doing his deeds. I am a member of my local PTA, but that does not mean I hang out with the other members, Obama merely served on a Anti-Poverty board with Ayers, he is a college professor now and is not a close friend of Obama. Stop spreading the ancient lies it really gets sickening.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS OVERSEAS --- MAKING FOOLS OUT OF AMERICANS!
He is trying to impress them with his “DIRECTED” show trip and “PRE-WRITTEN”, “PREPARED” “SPEECHES” --- like the one in BERLIN today.
WHY ISNT’ HE HERE --- TRYING TO TELL AMERICANS WHAT HIS PLAN IS? WHY IS HE TRYING TO IMPRESS EUROPEANS? THEY CAN’T VOTE FOR OUR PRESIDENT --- OR CAN THEY? WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING NOW? HE DOES HAVE TIES TO TERRORISTS OVERSEAS.
Just remember --- he is carrying with him enough cameras to “ACT and talk pretty” and 300 advisors to make him TALK, WALK, AND ACT carefully. Obama is just a political puppet!
VOTE NO TO ALL DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER AND HELP SAVE AMERICA!
Obama keeps insulting Americans intelligence! WAKE UP AMERICANS!
JOHN McCAIN is THE REAL CANDIDATE --- he thinks, acts and behaves very presidential and knowledgeable BY HIMSELF --- NO 300 STRINGS attached AND hundreds of BIASED MEDIA CAMERAS!

OBAMA WOULD RATHER LOSE THE WAR THAN LOSE THE ELECTION.
TAXPAYERS VOTING FOR OBAMA IS LIKE CHICKENS VOTING FOR COLONEL SANDERS.
The question of whether the surge vote would make a difference in my vote --- NO IT WILL NOT; HOWEVER, I would never vote for someone with the lack of experience and shady past of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
I was watching the news this morning --- and they were talking about Nobama’s views on Israel and his statement on a divided Jerusalem. It seems like Nobama is campaigning in foreign countries and it gave me a very uneasy feeling. Since when do we campaign overseas?
Europeans can’t vote for our president --- or can they?
Think before you vote!
McCain in November.

"I'm not going to be the vice presidential nominee or vice president," Jindal said. "I'm going to help Senator McCain get elected, as governor of Louisiana."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This doesn't read well. It reads like Jindal is going to get McCain elected as the Gov of Louisiana!
Gene12:02PMJul 28th 2008
David, it seems as through you are quite bias in the way you report about( the big three )reporting their stories about Obama negatively. To me being "bias" is adding any slant to a news story.
Whenever I am around any UP or AP reporters I ask them the same questoin. Why don't you people just report the news as it happens without your twist"?
By the way the "Big Three" all get the same exact story from one source. Pick on the scource.

Jindal has his hands full with Louisiana. I hope he chooses Charlie Christ from Florida.
As for Jamie Dupree, I wonder if she's ever heard of Robert KKK. Bird a ranking democrat senator from West Virginia who was not only a member but a grand dragon which means he chose the African Americans that would bare the brunt of his type of racism.
Matthew11:18AMAug 24th 2008
OBAMA IS NOTHING LIKE JINDAL
I just ask that every voter just Google Search "Obama Terrorist Criminal Messiah Whitey Wright" and then evaluate their choice for the leader of this country. You will see his own words and photographs that condemn him.
(Of course you will have to weed through some crazy stuff but you will see the truth shining through.)

Bobby Jindal is too busy pandering to the Louisiana KKK. The Repiblicans just used to him, to make it seemd like they had some ethnic superstar like Obama but Jindal isn't an Obama. Jindal is corrupt and is owned by the Ku Klux Klan. He has no clue of what he is doing in office and this is more to the stupidity of the Louisiana voter.
