Jindal says "No Thanks"
Fox News ^ | Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 | Fox News

Posted on 07/23/2008 7:27:38 AM PDT by DCRoush

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Wednesday he does not want to be considered as vice president on the GOP ticket, making him among a growing number of those pulling themselves out of the race.

” I look forward to continuing to be governor of Louisiana. This is a once in a lifetime chance to improve our state. We’ve cut six taxes but we’ve got a lot more work to do right here in Louisiana,” Jindal told “FOX & Friends” on Wednesday.

Smart man- he has a much better chance in the future with a solid record with a least one full term at LA Governor than by tying his fate to McCain.

If he finishes a full term as governor then I believe that'll be the longest time he's spent in any one job in his entire life. Certainly in his government career.

Look, McCain talks to a Conservative group in early May and states he will appoint Roberts and Scalias to the court. He then appears in front of a leftist group in June and states he voted for Ginsberg and Breyer, not to worry.

He’s promising both groups they have nothing to fear from him with regard to judicial appointments.

I am merely reporting what he has done. And you refer to this as me using a straw man argument. Bud, it’s McCain’s own tactics. Write him a note and bitch to him.

It's a fool's errand to support the conspiracy theory
that McQueeg will nominate judges no different than Obomba.

Throw your temper tantrum some where else.

Poor baby... do you need your blankee?

Try dealing with the reality that is McCain.

When ever you conspiracy kooks get together, 9/11 was an inside job.

Repeating the same thing over and over doesn't really make it true does it Betty?

I’m sure the forum participants would find it very educational for you to link us to where I stated 09/11 was an inside job.

Thanks in advance...

Listen Betty.

When you used your straw man argument that McQueeg voted for Ginsberg as an indication of who he would nominate when 96-3 of the senate voted for her you changed the subject to a conspiracy kook argument.

You people scare me.

I merely quoted McCain. And to this point, you still haven’t come to grips with that. I scare you, because I quoted him, and John who made the comments doesn’t bother you at all.

So there’s your logic out there for all to see.

Seatheart please.

Let's just suppose your uncited quotes are accurate. For you to extrapolate that McQueeg would vote for judges no different than Obomba is pure kookdom. That's what you are defending. People in the world like you are truly scary. You are no different than a Truther.

2008/06/14 McCain tells Clinton supporters they should back him because he voted for Ginsberg and Breyer  Said this to Conservatives on 2008/05/07

The point is, we don't know who he will appoint.  He has a voting record and he has public statements on the record.

And in all your conspiracy kook wisdom thsi is an indication that McQueeg would nominate judges like Ginsberg and Breyer? Because the "tradition" of voting for the current president's nominees like they did 96-3 in 1993 McQueeg is no different than Obomba?

Yes or no Clarice?

Why don’t you tell us what McCain meant by assuring this leftist group that he supported Clinton by voting for Ginsberg and Breyer. I’m sure in your mind it meant he would appoint Roberts and Scalias. LOL

Once again, this is what McCain did, not what DoughtyOne did.

It really sucks to have to deal with McCain’s record doesnt’ it.

Do you understand the difference between confirmation and nomination? Perhaps Clinton supporters didn't and apparently you are no smarter.

Still can't answer a simple yes or no question I see. You must get that from your candidate Obomba.

LOL, he was talking about future nominations. What’s so hard to understand here? He used those confirmation votes to explain they had nothing to fear from him with regard to future appointments. Everyone seems to understand this but you. They may think he was just pandering with no actual intent behind it, but the inference was clear as day.

OK Goober, you are quoting McCain in a townhall meeting with Clinton supporters who were angry with Obama. He was looking to see if he could gain their support. He did point out that he voted for Ginsberg and Breyer but look at this:
McCain said, “I voted to approve Ginsberg and Breyer, so don’t worry about me.” Paraphrased.

You made the italicized portion up.

WHAT ELSE DID HE REALLY SAY IN THAT MEETING WITH CLINTON SUPPORTERS? HERE'S SOME REAL QUOTES FROM THE MEETING:

"Roe v. Wade, we obviously will have a disagreement. I think it was a bad decision."

I am unalterably opposed to partial birth abortion."

"I would find people along the lines of Justice Roberts."

"I wouldn't have selected Justice Ginsberg or Justice Breyer."

This is in a meeting with CLINTON supporters.

I'll stick with my earlier assessment: You are nuckin' futz.

There is no answer to that question. We just don’t know.

With McCain’s voting record and comments on the record, we have no way of knowing who McCain will appoint. His record says he’s okay voting for the worst nominations there were. His comment says he’s proud of those votes and intends to appoint someone just like the two nominees he mentioned he had voted for.

I can’t say for sure he will or he won’t. You can’t say for sure he will or he won’t.

Look, you can run from those comments all you like, the mention of his votes for Ginsberg and Breyer were for one reason and one reason only. If you can’t figure out what it is, that’s not my problem.
