Bobby Jindal again shows just how stupid he is...

What a moron.

Bobby Jindal Wants The EPA To Go After Planned Parenthood

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 10/21/2015 11:35 am

Yesterday, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal appeared on “Washington Watch” to blast a federal court decision blocking his effort to defund Planned Parenthood in the state. “They sued us, the Obama administration sued us in federal court, he can’t watch the video but he has time to send his attorneys to Baton Rouge,” he told the program’s host, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. “They can send the entire Department of Justice, we won’t be intimidated from defending innocent human life.” (Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, not the Department of Justice, sued Louisiana in the case.) He later claimed that if all the Republican governors in the country followed his lead, they could succeed in defunding Planned Parenthood. “They can’t come after every governor,” he said. “We have 31 Republican governors. If just the Republican governors would all do this, they can’t come after us all. Let’s fight for our rights. The left fights, they force socialism down our throats, why won’t we fight for pro-life, for conservative principles?” Jindal then voiced a litany of falsehoods, suggesting that Planned Parenthood uses taxpayer dollars in its fetal tissue donation programs (it doesn’t) and claiming that its two Louisiana clinics offer abortion services (they don’t). He said that if he gets elected president, he would direct the Internal Revenue Service, the Justice Department, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency to target Planned Parenthood.

4. This will piss off some here, but I think we are going to see a repeat of that in 2016.

The GOP seems bound and determined to piss off everyone in America, but the small group of holy rollers that were going to vote for them anyways. The bluebloods will thump their chest and pretend it was their doing. No, it is time for liberals to take over and restore sanity.

How could someone who could enter an intellect contest against a wheelbarrow and come in third place, get all those money people to support him.

11. “They can’t come after every governor,” They don't have to, Bobby.

They only have to sue a couple of Governors in federal court and win. Then PP can get injunctions in every state based on that. And yes, they can in fact come after every governor who is being a dick about this.
