A good take on a principled conservative--Bobby Jindal.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Blanco "...wavered..." ?
Does the NYT know this ?

...saying he wanted to pass strict ethics rules for the notoriously out-of-bounds Legislature but vowing also to spur business growth and open classrooms to the teaching of creationism as an alternative to evolution.

Well it's hard to see how that's going to make Louisiana education any worse than it already is, but he's going to have his hands full passing any ethics rules in the snake pit that is the Louisiana legislature.

I hate to say this, but Bobby Jindal is not a “new breed” at all. He is representitive of what the GOP was all about prior to the bastardization of our party by the current breed of RINOs that have infested it.

Conservative ideals win every time they are embraced.

We need more Bobby Jindals and less of the HagelSnoweCollinsSpecter types.

I saw Gov.-elect Jindal on FNS this morning. He’s VERY impressive.

I pray he can sustain his conservative principles and articulate them on the nation political stage in the not to distant future.

...and open classrooms to the teaching of creationism as an alternative to evolution.

Next step is to open classrooms to the teaching of astrology as an alternative to astronomy.

Jindal is already making a difference. Odom bows out of the race for agriculture commissioner. He went quietly, but he went. Hooray for Bobby!

“They are the mirror image of the band of pragmatic liberal governors the Democrats have elected in states ranging from New Hampshire to Arizona, but concentrated in the Midwest — Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma.”

Uh, Jen Granholm might’ve seemed pragmatic when the GOP controlled the Legislature, but the minute she won re-election and the Dems took control of the state House, she became a borrow, tax and spend liberal.

In fact, her ideas were so expensive and ill-conceived that even her own party wouldn’t pass them.

Louisiana (more specifically New Orleans) was so bad-to-the-bone CORRUPT under the Democraticans who have run the state since Reconstruction days, that establishing a Caliphate under shari’a law would have been an improvement.

Bobby Jindal is still going to have to remove all the old wreckage left by decades of slovenly administrations and unregulated graft. It is going to be an uphill battle, and largely a thankless one, but still one that can and must be won.

[JSDude1]

Good article except for this propogandizing: “who share a pragmatic streak that voters seem to like. They are the mirror image of the band of pragmatic liberal governors”:..
Shows: Liberals don’t want true Conservatives (idealists); AKA another Ronald Reagan-Here’s the pregmatism went out the door..and real conservative-reform is showcased in the former home of Katrina! GO JINDAL!

[rawcatslyentist]

>"A map of the election results shows a handful of parishes voting for locally based rivals, but all across the state, from the Gulf to the Arkansas border, Jindal was the top candidate. In some populous parishes, he beat the runner-up by better than 2 to 1."

Yet the Landrieu Lt. Gov beat a well known GOP candidate at 57%.

Totally backwards to the GOP vs Dim voting ratio statewide.

Gov Bobby should look into this!

:’) self-ping.
