Stop insulting voters by stupid remarks: Bobby Jindal tells Republican partymen
Criticising the Republican party and its defeated presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Indian-American governor Bobby Jindal has said that leaders should stop insulting voters by saying "stupid" things.

"I'm pro-life. I follow the teachings of my church and my faith. But at the same time, I think we can respect those
who disagree with us. We don't need to demonise those who disagree with us. We need to respect the fact that others have come to different conclusions based on their own sincerely held beliefs and have a civil debate," he said in response to a question on pro-life and women.
Unmarried women voted for Barack Obama by a margin of 67 per cent to 31 per cent, during the presidential elections.
