Who Is the Bigger GOP Whore - Bobby Jindal or Marco Rubio?

With would be GOP presidential candidates jockeying for position with the party base, things seem to have descended into a contest of who can be the bigger pandering, tawdry whore in terms of selling one's soul to the hideously ugly elements of the GOP base.   Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio seem to be signally that each of them will prostitute themselves to whatever extent needed.  In the case of Rubio, he is now firmly claiming that climate changes doesn't exist and/or is not effected by human behavior.  With Jindal, he appeared at the always foul and more or less insane Liberty University for its commencement ceremonies where he fanned the flames of the myth of Christian persecution. Since neither Jindal nor Rubio are stupid, one can only assume that they have no morals and certainly no honor or integrity.  Huffington Post looks at Rubio's sell out to the knuckle dragging, drool stained climate change deniers of the GOP base.  Here are excerpts:

Of all the states that stand to suffer from climate change, Florida is facing potentially the bleakest consequences. A New York Times report noted last week that global warming was already having an effect on everyday life, like leading to flooding on streets that never used to flood.

Meanwhile, a National Climate Assessment has named Miami as the city most vulnerable to damage from rising sea levels.

On Sunday, one of the state's U.S. senators, Marco Rubio (R), was pressed about the general subject of climate change, and despite the warnings outlined above, he argued that there was nothing lawmakers could or should do to reverse the climate trends (whose origins he also questioned). 

"I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it," Rubio said, according to excerpts released by ABC "This Week," "and I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it, except it will destroy our economy."
The transcript does not indicate what Rubio's "mitigation activity" would consist of, but his assessment that the laws currently being proposed to address climate change won't help, and will only hurt the economy, is at odds with his own history as a politician.


As the leader of the Florida House in 2008, Rubio helped pass a law directing the state Department of Environmental Protection to develop a carbon emissions capping system. He has since distanced himself from that vote, arguing that he never supported cap and trade, only the idea that the state should look into such a system. And when the system ultimately did not pass, he cheered its failure. 

Not to be outdone by Rubio, Jindal did all he could to give the politico equivalent to felatio to Christofascists at Liberty University.  LGBTQ Nation looks at Jindal's obscene pandering.  Here are highlights:

Speaking at the commencement for Liberty University, the private Christian college founded by Jerry Falwell, Jindal expressed concern for what he called “the war on religious liberties,” and cited David and Jason Benham, hosts of the HGTV show cancelled last week, as well as Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, who was suspended by A&E late last year after making racist and anti-gay remarks in a GQ magazine interview.

“Make no mistake: the war over religious liberty is the war over free speech, and without the first there is no such thing as the second.
[...]
“There was a time when liberals in this country believed in debate. But that is increasingly not the case for the modern Left in America. No, the modern Left in America has grown tired of debate. Their new strategy is simply to try to silence their critics.
[...]
“And the same thing happened again just this week, with another demonstration of intolerance from the entertainment industry. HGTV was working on a new show featuring the Benham brothers, twin brothers who graduated from right here at Liberty University in 1998.
“But HGTV cancelled the show this week, allegedly because they learned that one of the brothers protested at the Democrat Party Convention, and the other had protested at an abortion clinic. Think about that for a minute. If these guys had protested at the Republican Party Convention, instead of canceling their show, HGTV would probably have given them a raise.”

Jindal’s speech also included words of support for Hobby Lobby, a family-owned company which argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in March, seeking religious exemptions from the Affordable Care Act to for-profit corporations.

The Benham brothers, who themselves are 1998 graduates of Liberty University, were seated in the front row for Jindal’s keynote speech.

Both Rubio and Jindal need to go to the nearest tattoo parlour and ave "I'm a pandering whore" tattooed across their foreheads.
