You've clearly not been paying attention. This is about the fourth 'mistake' Jindal has committed since he was sworn in. He greatly increased state spending, he granted huge pay raises to top state bureaucrats and he tried to sabotage the Stelly Rollback tax cut.

Sutherlin says citizens consumed by pay raise flap
Yep, here in Minnesota we have global warming/health care for all Pawlenty, sure be glad to see him go be McDole’s VP so we can select a real conservative for Governor.
I agree. This whole thread is bogus and overly dramatic.
Let the legislature get a lousy pay raise and be done with it.
The ridiculous thing to do is to sacrifice one of the most promising (and brilliant) Republicans on the altar because "I am personally ticked off."
Drop it.
I need a lot more than this.
If a promising conservative new to the scene didn’t face immediate attempts by the left to discredit him, I would be very surprised. At this point, that’s all this is.
If Jindal is not a real conservative, that information will become clear with time. I’m not in a hurry to dismiss him.
Looking for a conservative for the future? Jindal is toast. Next.
“This whole thread is bogus and overly dramatic.”
And hysterically eager.
So far this tell us more about the attempts to discredit Jindal than about Jindal himself.
Ain’t happening. We are stirred up here and there are some politicians here about to pay a big price. Stay tuned.
The voters of Louisiana get to make that choice next election and they’re very very pissed off. If they run him out of office, which they will, he won’t ever be a factor in Republican national politics. Consider him dropped.
Yep, the walls sure came tumbling down in Pennsylvania on that one thanks to Russ. Unfortunately, after the dust cleared, a brand new wall was found to be emplaced right behind where the old wall was formerly standing.
In other words this could be merely a political miscalculation by Jindal. Is there enough to be at odds the defining conservative principles? I don’t see it yet.
Ya know, I'm really getting put out by the blowhards who keep saying "Jindal's a true conservative" without having to document a damn thing. This debate here has been going on for about two months, ever since Jindal stabbed us in the back on the Stelly Tax Rollback.
Every time I make a post about Jindal and his betrayal of us conservatives, I back it up with documentation and links. We have the facts on the budget increases and on his early opposition to the tax cut. And the facts on this legislative pay raise and Jindals lack of stones to do the right thing is pretty clear.
All the blowhards who claim Jindal's a conservative have is hot air. They document or back up nothing.
So the question then becomes are all the blowhard Jindalites real conservatives or are they just political whores?
All you’ve got on me is that I’m not in Louisiana and haven’t been motivated to check details to the extent you have. That much is true.
But you sure are getting emotional about this. What’s that all about.
Looks to me like you just admitted you don't know the subject matter on which you attempt to pontificate. But I had somehow figured that out several weeks ago.
I have relatives in La. and judging from their reaction and what is being reported in the press about the reaction in general I would say he has made a huge mistake. Too bad because even Rush was touting him as a player in the future. McCain was also looking at him as a running mate.
You just gave yourself away. “Several weeks ago” I wasn’t doing any debating about Jindal, meaning you’re referring to my comments on other topics.
Now your agenda is to discredit me in general(good luck with that). Why do you hope so fervently to portray me in such a way? Let’s take a good long look at your agenda now.
Of course you mean after Illinois don't you?
My mistake. All you Jindalites sound the same.
If I’m a “Jindalite” I should learn more about him, and fast.
Sarcasm aside, I’ll say at this point I’m content to take information posted by others, when I happen to run across it. If there’s a hurry to label Jindal in a certain way, I’ll take note.
May conservative principles guide us.
Although I’ve questioned Rush in the past, I trust him completely and will rely on what he says about Jindal.
If Rush says anything different about Jindal, it will mean something.
