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.
Jindal is the BEST that LA can offer.
I’ve lived in Baton Rouge, and N’Wlins, during some mighty sleazy regimes.
Take my word for it...Bobby Jindal is a genuine breath of fresh air.
