McCain's potential running mate: Jindal - '100% against abortion, no exceptions'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jindal
Jindal has stated that he is "100 percent against abortion, no exceptions."<27> During his 2003 run for governor he distinguished himself from Blanco, who is also anti-abortion, by stating that he supports an abortion ban without exceptions for life, health, rape, or incest. His definition of abortion differs from the medical community's in that it only includes procedures that target the embryo or fetus, a definition that excludes procedures, such as a salpingectomy, that do not target the embryo specifically but still terminate the pregnancy.<28> He has stated that he would allow emergency contraception, which some pro-life groups consider morally equivalent to abortion.<29>

1. McCain has flip-flopped on abortions

At one time (before he entered that alien spaceship) McCain believed in exceptions in cases of rape or incest. He has reversed himself, as he has on so many other things, and now he thinks rape and incest victims should give birth to the offspring of their attackers.

2. It should surprise NO ONE. mccain supported the South Dakota Abortion bill

which called for NO EXCEPTIONS, including, rape, incest, and if the life of the Mother is at stake

luckely it was overturned, but there should be no doubt where mccain is coming from

He has also called for mandatory service to the U.S. Make NO MISTAKE about it, that is a DRAFT

3. Jindal is a rookie

They criticize Obama for his lack of experience but Jindal has 2 or 3 year of service in the world of politics.

7. It is going to be Romney

At least Romney has more than a clue when it comes to the economy, while McCain is still fighting his Vietnam demons.

5. Bomb Bomb is only enlisting Jindal's support, not considering him for VP

He's also not going with Charlie Crist ... this is all
just to enlist their support during the GE, and to perhaps
distract from the release of McSame's medical records
and his wife's tax returns. Even if he admits he's going
to select someone soon, it's not going to be THIS soon.

9. There will never be a non-christian or non-white person on the republican ticket...

At least not the republican party as we know it today.

It's not even in the same city as their house, which has their kitchen, which has their table of all possible options.

10. republicans will never get it...

not because they are stupid or morally opposed, but because they are world class panderers (if that's not a word, it should be)

No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg. ~Frederica Mathewes-Green

He's meeting with them to plot strategy as these are all going to be his surrogates for TV and what not.
