Sounds like you have a personal problem.
If you wish, campaign for the corrupt clowns whom Jindal replaced next election.
I think this is just silly. To suggest a stalwart conservative Bobby Jindal is a false prophet because of a few steps out of the appropriate lock-step is ridiculous.
People forget that Ronald Reagan had his unorthodoxies, too. Until he was middle aged Reagan was a New Deal Democrat and during his presidency he never did more than give lip-service to the pro-life movement (witness the Sandra Day O’Connor appointment).
There is no “perfect” elected official or politician. Bobby Jindal is conservative on what rpobably amounts to something like 95% of the issues. He’s a far cry from a John McCain-wannabe.
By all means, let’s return back to the good-old days of Governor Blanco (cue Disney birds chirping and animals frolicking and laughing together)
Yes, by all means, throw Jindal under the bus. I mean, after all, he’s had SIX WHOLE MONTHS to accomplish EVERYTHING you want! Off with his head NOW!
How Rush fits into this...that part of your newbie screed is incomprehensible.
Hey lookee here smart ass, what Rush said in his comments about Jindal was that Jindal might be the next Ronald Reagan “if he doesn’t change”, so obviously (as you view it) Jindal changed, so don’t blame Rush, blame your own infantile, doe-eyed belief that Jindal (or ANY elected official) will be flawless, never erring, and always rising to the golden ‘Reagan Standard’.
You signed up yesterday just to post this drivel?
IBTZ, INDEED!
Welcome to Free Republic, now GTF outta here.
Wow, since June 20th 2008.
I wonder, could it be that the moonbats are worried about Jindal as a future GOP candidate and are trying to torpedo his career early?
You know the moonbats, gotta keep the minorities on the plantation.
Could be could be could be NOT is.
You need to calm down and get a life.
When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.
"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.
Or, as Mick Jagger sang: You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.
Arizona conservatives have tried to tell them about RINO McCain but nobody listens until it’s too late.
Mr. Robinson is pretty hard-headed, but it is his site. Change will come, but it must be done slowly. Slowly we have to convert more members to our kinder, gentler "progressive" beliefs.
Some times after reading for a length of time on this site, we progressives just need a karmic hug. So if you feel frustrated, join us in a hug at our alternate site.

Oh goodie! I feel like it’s my birthday!
Howdy, troll n00b. Trying to create perception? Scurry on your way now, back to DU.
I think folks have a very skewed memory of Ronald Reagan. He didn't use that veto pen near enough, during his Presidency, probably for the same reason most Presidents don't. They don't want to stop the business of government.
Ronald Reagan wasn't the second coming. He was a good President, and he spoke, unfailingly for the conservative cause. But no one will replace him, and I wish folks would stop comparing everyone to him, and claiming they're not as wonderful as he was. He was the best we've had in a long time, but he wasn't perfect.
I don't know a lot about Bobby Jindal, but he seems to be well thought of by many who are well known conservatives. It's interesting that there seems to be a movement to start trying to take him down. Maybe some folks are worried that in 2012 he might be considered a real threat, either as a Presidential candidate, or someone who would be seriously considered as a VP candidate.
Love the smell of ozone in the mornin'.
I visited with a Northern Louisianna man traveling from Seattle back home this past weekend. He said basically the same thing about Gov. Jindal. He was very conservative, a black man, retired military. I commented about his new governor and he expressed dismay that he was going to allow the outragous pay raises to state officials. His comments surprised me. He had higher hopes for Gov. Jindal. So, even though many on here are going to attack you, I am going to believe what you have to say on this issue. There just might be something to this.
