Republican Response to The One- - Jindal - LIVE THREAD

[Jean S]

Live thread.

One could only hope! Thanks for the allegory.

[Melas]

We have a freeper who posts similar comments about Jindal’s baby face.

[pissant]

LOL!!

[allmost]

I’m not impressed. He should be attacking with facts. Sounds weak to me. Not encouraging.

I think Jindal is terrible tonight. Of course these ‘responses’ whoever gives them are ridiculous, but Jindal just does not have presence tonight. He looks too young, he sounds squeaky and un-serious. His ideas are right, but it's all about theater these days.

I turned to CNN. Much better audio.

[KansasGirl]

I’m watching my local FOX and the sound quality is very good.

My dad and I talk politics a lot and I asked him a while back who he thought was the worst President. Without missing a beat he said Carter.

With me, you would have gotten as far as 'worst Pr-", and the name 'Carter' would already be rolling off my tongue. But it will only take another month of Obama to do as much damage as Carter did in 48 months.

we’re doomed! This guy might be a great thinker, but this speach sucks

[PhiKapMom]

Thank you! Some people on here don’t understand his speech is going after the undecides not giving Conservatives red meat and he started off just fine — actually pointing out he was BORN in the USA!

Jindal sounds much better on CNN then on Fox. Fox is messing with the signal. He is much better on CNN and I liked him before.

Don’t let anyone tell you that its best days are behind you. My kind of guy — optimism which is missing on this thread! American spirit has triumped over almost everything. We are Americans.

Jindal said don’t let anyone tell you that America’s best days are behind us, and American spirit will triumph again.

“Dont forget the mentality of the obamabots he is trying to reach. He has to speak slowly and with inflection to make sure they understand. Conservative values are tough to explain to an entitlement mentality.”

Don’t forget he also has to use small words. :)

[redk]

Wow you guys are tough crowd.

[KevinDavis]

I think the people who attack people Jindal or Palin tend to be holier than thou people who lives in the past. Also they tend to be either DU trolls or third party trolls.

This is his speaking style. His content is very good, he is very intelligent, but the delivery could be better. But he is a very good conservative.

[KoRn]

"His presentation is like he’s reading a book to a group of 3rd graders."

That was my first thoughts. He sounds like he's talking to children. Of course, we must consider the target audience. The average voter these days has the IQ of a lamp.

[Reagan Man]

Gov Jindal did hit the high points... tax cuts, spending cuts, strong military, limited govt, fiscal discipline and personal responsibility. Great.

On substance Jindal did a good job. On presentation, however, not so good.

[Big_Monkey]

"He does not have nearly the speaking skills of Obama.

Not too many people do. He could be the best speech deliverer (notice I didn't say speaker, his extemporaneous skills are weak) since Hitler.

How much do want to bet that Jindal will be Saturday Night Live's big target this week?

[mentor2k]

I like what Jindal is saying, I’m just not sold on the way he goes about saying it. I guess I’m guilty of hoping the next Ronald Reagan will surface. Someone who captivates me with his conservative countenance and conviction.
