Jindal, Pawlenty and Portman: How do the GOP VP frontrunners fare on race?

Mitt Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is reportedly in the final stages of selecting a running mate. And he reportedly isdown to three candidates on his short list for the number two spot on the ticket. They include former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Senator Rob Portman, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. As they undergo the required vetting process, one question that remains is, what are their records on racial issues? Their statements and policies provide some clues.

On the surface at least, Pawlenty and Portman appear to be the stereotypical “white bread” or vanilla-flavored candidates, offering little controversy or few potentially eyebrow-raising items in their resume. And little excitement as well.

Meanwhile, Portman — a solid conservative and former Bush budget director who has been labeled as the “anti-Palin” for his temperament and wonkishness — has expressed reservations with the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA. Portman was concerned that the legislation, which would forbid employers from firing someone for their gender identity or sexual orientation, would make businesses uncomfortable and lead to too many lawsuits. 

Jindal also appears to offer the most problematic vice presidential candidacy of these three frontrunners on racial issues. The first Indian-American governor, Jindal is, not unlike South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is of Sikh descent, a poster child for the Republican Party’s vision of a post-racial conservative America. And as such, they would downplay their racial background and espouse the policies of white conservatives in order to ascend the ranks of the GOP

With regard to immigration reform, an issue viewed in the Latino community as a proxy for anti-Latino sentiment, Pawlenty likened the need for immigration enforcement to New York cleaning up its streets. “It’s analogous in some ways to what was happening in New York not long ago. If you allow people to pee on the sidewalks, next they’re snatching purses,” he said.

prejudging the immigrants, like so may whites and other ethnic's formed by other white haters perpetrating a fraud on those gullible by instilling fear about the "unknown peoples", not like them, emphasizing any negative press to point to their erroneous propaganda. they in fact are the one's that should be feared, the sooner it's recognized the sooner it can be squashed

from the Usual Suspects,  " The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." \misdirecting your legitimate hate to other's will sticking that proverbial "pitchfork" in your back, friends like that are not your friends.…

when the sun comes up and the shades are opened, take a look around, then take a stroll through your mind, you'll be surprised at what you might find.  (temptations)…
