If Jindal Doesn't know, how do we?

Jindal is furious that the Democratic Party is sending out leaflets that say he is opposed to abortion "under all circumstances."

Since he has stated many times that this is exactly his position I am not sure what the problem is.

To me "under all circumstances" means he would never support abortion.

That would mean not even in the cases of rape, incest, or to save the life or health of the mother.

Now he is saying that is not true. I guess he is only taking that extreme position when he goes to speak to Southern Baptist and Catholic anti-abortion groups, but he doesn't REALLY believe that.

And his real objection is someone telling pro-choice voters what his position is on abortion.

Well, if Jindal does not even know what his position is on abortion, why should we trust him on anything?

Jindal is a two-faced lying politician if there ever was one. He wants to say he opposes abortion "under all circumstances" when he is courting the anti-abortion crowd, but reverses himself when he speaks to pro-choice groups, many of which include Republican voters.

A liar, a liar, a liar, a liar. That sums of Jindal.

 

And we all know why YOU support Blanco

CottonBowll 66 wants his rights!!!

 

What a joke. Jindal is a zilch.

 

The point is simple - Jindal has an official position - let women die on a slab - but then says he won't enforce or try to codify his position.

Sorry, that doesn't fly.

All he has to do is to change his official position. But he refuses to - why? Because he is completely owned by extremists who believe the reason a woman is on earth is to breed.

 

Re: Re: If Jindal Doesn't know, how do we?

Just taking the extremist position in principle of no exceptions whatsoever on abortion says all one needs to know about someone like Jindal. It is revealing what is in their psyche.

People like that are capable of fanaticism, and Jindal is apparently some sort of fanatic. It shows he is incapable of empathy or compassion with a dying or suffering mother.

He has nothing else to recommend him to the governorship. He has shown no ability to work with a legislature or to bring in outside business and jobs to Louisiana.

Since he is a Republican, he will get the old David Duke crowd, and the new David Duke crowd. He may win.

This state is filled with such stupidity they would probably re-elect Mike Foster if they could. It explains how a nothing like Jindal can get elected.

 

He HAS said what his position is, and he hasn't changed it. He is against abortion in all cases. However he is not opposed to procedures that will save the mother's life that could have the unfortunant side effect of killing the baby.

There is no issue with him changing his stance. He's stated it all along.

Abortion and Gay rights are not important issues to me however, I'm more concerned with whether or not I'm going to have to move out of state to find a job. I love Louisiana, and I don't want to leave, but if Blanco is in office, no way can I stay.

At least Jindal HAS a plan. I haven't seen anything that Kathleen is going to do to bring in new jobs to the state.

Along with the fact that Blanco is completely classless, my vote is going for Jindal, along with every other person I have spoken to in person.

 

That is an inconsistent position. Which is it?

That he believe she state should compel women at the point of a sword to carry a fetus to term borne from a rapist isn' the least suprising - women are on the earth to breed.

 

Jindal scandal free? Please! He has more ties to Mike Foster and his buddies than anyone is willing to admit. Don't think Foster and his long-time buddy, Bernie Boudreaux, aren't pulling strings in this one. Hell, one only needs to look at Bernie's ride the last eight years. He was the District Attorney of St. Mary (Franklin), Iberia, and St. Martin. For all the favors through the years, Boudreaux resigned his position to be Foster's chief legal counsel and is now also on the LSU Bd. of Supervisor's. Guess who put him there? Foster. Now, Boudreaux makes megabucks thanks to Big Daddy. If you don't think that that crew will still be pulling strings with Jindal then I'll be the 1st to say, "I told you so," when it happens.

 

Foster isn't a committed republican and is not a right winger.

Jindal is and is.

So why is Foster doing so much for this guy?

 

LOL@the big revelation by LSUtigah that Mike Foster put Bernie Boudreaux in as a BOS member...as if it's some clandestine patronage type of situation...

Since when have those positions NOT been handed out in that manner?

Foster stated at the time that he was placing someone in the position that he knew would allow Emmert and William Jenkins the opportunity to operate unfettered and unencumbered by arduous fights with the BOS, which others have continually had to do in the past.

Perhaps you can't read, or you just believe everything C.B. Forgotston spews forth from his mouth. I don't know.

But, I can tell you that when it comes to LSU BOS positions, I hate to break this to you, but...

Foster is the only person who can appoint anyone onto the board, and if you don't think he won't put Board Members in that he feels he can trust and will listen to him, then you're just a damn fool.

I'm guessing LSUtigah would have Mike Foster appoint Cleo Fields, or perhaps John Hainkel into the position? I mean, is he supposed to place enemies there? Is there a rich tradition of placing people with educational backgrounds into those positions?

Hell, Foster placed two other BOS members since he had the blowout with the BOS over the LSU AD job search...Where were your raised eyebrows then?

If you want to make the election an LSU issue, then you're a dolt if you vote for Blanco. Her husband is VP of student affairs, is still called "Coach" because was an assistant in the friggin 60's and 70's out there, and has led the charge repeatedly to drop the Lafayette name, as well as actually trying to lobby the Legislature to award and elevate Louisiana-Lafayette to flagship status.

LSU is already woefully underfunded compared to other land and sea grant research flagship universities. This is directly a result of the other red headed stepchildren crowing for funding from the state come Appropriations time.

With Blanco in the Governor's Mansion, and "Coach" laying beside her, we would no longer have one poorly funded flagship in LSU, we'd have one piss poor flagship in LSU, and one joke of a flagship in UL-L...

Go ahead and crow some more...With every response, you make yourselves look sillier...
