Republican Response to The One- - Jindal - LIVE THREAD

[Jean S]

Live thread.

All good!

[ajay_kumar]

That question from Charlie Gibson about Bush Doctrine was the fatal blow for Sarah. I blame her handlers for subjecting her to 3 day long interviews which would be then edited down to less than 60 minutes.

[roamer_1]

Since my argument related to the general election which had only two possible outcomes

I am working to change that, as one should, if one is interested in the sovereignty of this nation.

Your tirades have little effect, as always. Every time the Conservatives don't bend to the Republican's will, we must endure these petty fits. It changes no one's mind. And come next election, I will stand on principle just as strongly.

And why aren’t you still ranting about ‘NeoCons assulting Conservatives’?

It isn't a rant- It is the truth. Conservatives stand on principle. Period. It is their primary, and most notable trait. NeoCons preach pragmatism and compromise.

Those you denigrate would not compromise their principles. Their votes were informed by their convictions. That is a Conservative trait. What does that make you?

..."fatal blow for Sarah"

In what respect?

[Syncro]

Anyone who would give McCain anything, Palin or no Palin, is no Conservative.

So all those conservatives who voted for McCain/Palin (you know, those that voted for Sarah) last November are no longer conservatives?

[OldNavyVet]

Obama said that “CRA st;ays,” and that banks would be “fully accountable.” whereas I think Democrats in Congress should be fully accountable for causing this mess via CRA.

A Catch 22 if there ever was one.

[ajay_kumar]

Why McCain/Palin ticket did not win. The MSM succeeded in making lot of people who are not political junkies think she was dumb.

[Syncro]

Oh, fatal blow for McCain.

Now I understand.

Yea, she lost a lot of votes for McCain.

He should have gone with Lieberman, then he would have won.

[roamer_1]

So all those conservatives who voted for McCain/Palin (you know, those that voted for Sarah) last November are no longer conservatives?

I am willing to give a pass to those who panicked and bought into the NeoCon dream (which I predicted was doom all the way along). I was young once too, and was vulnerable to fancy. But any who still laud McCain, considering his collusion with Obama and the Democrats (again, as predicted), are far beyond any excuse of mere delusion.

And voting for Sarah, btw, her lack of Conservative credz aside for the moment, was nothing more than a delusion in it's own right. The top of the ticket is still the top of the ticket, and every vote cast lent credence to McCain and the "moderates" he represents.

[Syncro]

Yea, it's hard to decide who was more liberal, McCain or Palin.

Well Palin is toast, the MSM and the GOP and those that bought into the hype agree with you.

[Syncro]

Naw, the ticket didn't win because McCain could not win.

And did not want to.

He gave up just like GHWB did when he quit trying a few months before Clinton took it from him.

His friendship with Bill Clinton nowadays is not even ironic.

As far as McCain goes, in the end he said that there is nothing to fear from Obama, he will be a fine president.

His campaigning for Obama was quite subtle those last few weeks before Nov 4th last year.

[Hilda]

Jindal was FINE!! The RATS are all trying to make him llook bad! “Volcano Monitoring” - what the hell is THAT? I don’t even know what it is, but it’s a RAT idea!

“Ohhhhhh! Barry Hussein speaks SO GOOD!” Well, he’s no Reagan - they just WISH he was!

[roamer_1]

Yea, it's hard to decide who was more liberal, McCain or Palin.

Oh, that's not hard to see at all- Palin is certainly to the right of McCain... Certainly Right leaning, certainly libertarian leaning... But that does not make her a Conservative, nor does it make her a Reaganite. I would mark her a right leaning moderate along the same lines as Thompson, but with more of a social right bend.

Well Palin is toast, the MSM and the GOP and those that bought into the hype agree with you.

She is not necessarily toast... She would be a great asset toward rebuilding the Republican party, but in the company of Reaganites, not on her own, and certainly not with Baker Moderates.

Do not mistake her populism as Conservatism however.

[motoman]

No, sorry, not a troll. Lighten up.

Other Freepers had questioned whether Jindal’s parents were citizens at the time of his birth during the campaign in reference to the same eligibility questions that involved Obama’s non-citizen father.

I am a big fan of Jindahl and would hate to see anything of the sort stop him from running.

[mbraynard]

So by having a public period and taking your rag and going home makes you irrelevant. Exactly how Obama wants you.

Not just politics - but reality - is about the art of the possible.

[ajay_kumar]

As a fan of Sarah Palin, I was dismayed to hear so many people I talked to had negative opinions of her. Even conservatives! So, I am convinced the MSM did a number on her. It was her dress, her daughter’s pregnancy out of wedlock, mayor of a tiny town, governor of a small population state, lack of national exposure, troopergate, etc.. It was drip drip every day. It took its toll.

However without Sarah Palin, McCain would have lost with a bigger margin.

[death2tyrants]

I am working to change that

You're working to change the two party system. And you intend on doing this by going onto the internet and ranting about neocons assulting people. Brilliant strategy!

Your tirades have little effect..

Tirades? I'm not the one who goes to conservative web sites, labels others 'neocons', accuses them of assult for no appearent reason, and claims that anyone who voted for the McCain/Palin ticket (the only ticket that had a chance of stopping Obama) is not a real conservative. That'd be you doing that.

[death2tyrants]

bought into the NeoCon dream

Perhaps you could define, in detail, what the 'neocon dream' is? Specifically in regards American foreign policy in Iraq, Afghansitan, and the root cause of the attacks on 9/11.

And voting for Sarah, btw, her lack of Conservative credz aside for the moment

Sarah Palin doesn't lack conservative credentials. You know who lacks conservative credentials? I'll give you three hints:

1)Unlike Reagan, he opposes the War on Drugs

2)Unlike Reagan, he opposes military intervention abroad.

3)He is pitured below.

[NoLibZone]

And he is opposed the CLEAR Act, The Border Fence and rounding up illegals.

[Fiji Hill]

I’ll admit that I’m not overly familiar wtih DeMint’s record, but what I’ve seen of him, I like.

I, too, like what I've seen of him. Perhaps he could serve as Sarah Palin's VP!
