Jindal's heritage is palatable to conservatives
Not to all conservatives.

It's been suggested by some media outlets that romney is considering Jindal as a possible VP pick.
The simple answer to that is yes he should, if he wants to commit political suicide. If jindal is picked, all the Dems would have to do is expose Jindal's real first name--Piyush--to the American public, and voila, Romney is history.
GOP voters are mostly bigots and won't stand for anyone they suspect doesn't meet the definition of what they consider an "American"--and that's someone who is either White or Black with a boring American-sounding surname like John or Mitt. Jindal's ethnicity, however, is Indian--his parents are immigrants from India, and Jindal's real name is Piyush.
The only reason Jindal won the Governorship of LA is because they were duped into thinking Jindal's actual real first name is Bobby and that he's a White man with dark skin, because that's what Rush Limbaugh told them.
However, Rush is not a God (despite what many GOPers believe), and while he may be able to dupe the conservative voters in one state into believing something false, he won't manage to do that for the whole country. When it comes out that Jindal's first name is Piyush and that the reason for his dark skin is due to his Indian ethnicity, GOPers everywehre will jump up and down and scream "raghead."

wow, Considering all the overt anti-white racism it's probably a safe idea to only vote white.
The "conservatives don't like brown people" narrative is so tired. It's just not true about most of them. Just like MOST liberals do not hate southern white Walmart shopping Christians.
FWIW, I usually side with conservatives and I find the "half breed" thing in this thread offensive. That poster does not represent a majority of conservatives I know in fact I would thing most conservatives in this thread are embarrassed by his foolishness.
But broad brushing the whole GOP is wrong, and bad debate.

geez, people. I used half-breed to spin up some of our left wing friends. Seems to have worked....
geez, people. I used half-breed to spin up some of our left wing friends. Seems to have worked. What racially descriptive term would you prefer for someone whose father is black and mother is white? bi-racial, multi-racial, half black, half white? BTW, I am probably one of the least racist people on this forum. I have friends and business associates of all races, ethnicities, and religions. I live in New Orleans where diversity is not only accepted, it is celebrated. So don't try to put any labels on me just because I used a term to get under the skin of the lefties.
We get way too hung up on words and political correctness. Did any of you who are objecting to half-breed, show the same outrage when Mahr called Palin a C--- and a B----?
I think I smell some hypocrisy.
why would you do something like that?
If you use words like "half breed" to rile up people, you probably just use them regularly. The fact that you had to tell us all about your black friends, well - that just smacks of apologetics.

As far as Maher goes - I didn't know Maher was a member of this forum. Is he? Why the hell should we care what he says? And if we are supposed to care - that would be for another topic including the title "Bill Maher" and "Palin". Not Bobby Jindal and the GOP.
So which racist comment do you want? Joe Biden's? Howard Dean's? Nancy Pelosi's?

Its not racial, its philosophical.
I would feel the same way about him if he was a lilly white curly headed irishman, or a bald headed american indian.
because its so easy.
Since you don't know me at all, its a bit presumptious of you to claim what words I use regularly. If someone was offened by the word half-breed, I really don't care. I am offended every time obama stands up and represents the USA. He is an embarrassment to this great country, not because of his racial make up, but because of his incompetence and arrogance.

thats not true. we saw Bush's college and military records, college records of both clintons, Kerry, Edwards, Palin, Biden, Gore. Hiding ones background indicates that there is something in it that might cause damage to his campaign, or worse, to his credibility.
Romney has provided his recent tax returns, which presidential candidate has ever released 20 years of returns?
Since you don't know me at all,
Actually, Bush's military records were mysteriously lost somewhere. But don't let facts get in your way.

I'm sure there's a valid reason for them being destroyed. Maybe because of the top secret missions that he was sent on?

many Conservatives have been voting white-only, their entire lives.
