Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal urged his party Tuesday to shift to offering health care solutions instead of just rejecting what [Alleged] President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are proposing.
“I think now is the perfect time to pivot and to say, not only here’s what we’re against, and not only here’s how we’re going to contrast ourselves, but here’s what we’re for,” Jindal said in an interview with POLITICO.
Jindal acknowledged that the Republican Party for years had been too slow to stake out positions on the health care debate “to our peril and the nation’s peril.”
“I think that in some circles, it was viewed as a Democratic issue,” said Jindal, who served in top posts at the Department of Health and Human Services during the Bush administration and ran his state’s health department in the ’90s.
Jindal urged congressional Republicans to go to the White House and find common ground with Obama.
“Let’s start anew,” he said they should tell the president. “We’re willing to work with you in a bipartisan way.”

Conservatives to Jindal : Go To Hell
There goes another RINO for McCain’s party ....
What an ass. The republican party is in terrible shape.
And the moon is made of green cheese.
Sheesh
Pissant to Jindal. STFU
I’ve defended Jindal before in this forum, but he’s on his own with this foolishness.
So much for him.
Um, how about....NO!!!!!
Bipartisanship = Do whatever the RINOs / Dems want
NO COMPROMISE!!!!!!!
Please make it stop.
Jindal just disqualified himself.
Oh for chissakes!
Had my doubts about the guy long time ago.
blech. He ought to mind the business of LA.
Jindal jumps the shark
Jindal just eliminated himself from any future ticket.
Obama has not met with any GOP congressmen since May.
Thats the Bipartisanship Obama was talking about, Yeah, Right.
I highly doubt that *politico* is accurately reporting what Jindal had to say about this.
The conservatives and the GOP are winning the health care argument and this yahoo chimes in with THIS CRAP??
People have been fronting this guy for the next GOP presidential candidate. No... We need FEWER guys like him.
APf
You are disappointing me, Bobby.
So, on this matter, ignore him. We know the Democrats want no suggestions ~ although they are beginning to wake up to the fact that the sort of program they are pushing can be totally destroyed simply with failure of a future House of Representatives to "fund it" in an appropriations bill.
