If Jindal wants to have any chance to win in 2012, he needs to choose a moderate VP.
like how the #1 most Liberal senator chose the #3 most Liberal senator as his VP?
Wasn't he the most liberal according to a conservative website? Wasn't Kerry the most liberal in '04?
I'm so tired of hearing how Obama is the MOST liberal, when there are at least 10 senators more liberal than him. Obama is not the most liberal member of the senate, he never was.
I'm getting those rankings from the National Journal which I thought to be fairly non-partisan. Although I could be wrong (I don't read the National Journal). Regardless, the only time he bucked the liberal elements of his party was on the FISA bill, which I viewed as typical of the "run-to-the-center" general election strategy.
He is pro-choice, pro-affirmative action (to a degree), pro-union. He wants to raise the corporate tax, raise the capital gains tax, raise the social security tax, and raise the top marginal rates. He wants to send a check to the 40% of the population who don't pay any income tax. He is a protectionist, has talked of pulling out of NAFTA, and is opposed to a free trade agreement with Colombia. He is pro-embryonic stem-cell research, and pro-gun control.
If he's not the most liberal senator in Congress, how about this... If elected, he would be the most liberal President we've ever had. Fair?
