traveling at our expense ,promoting himself instead of taking care of business at home

I guess when the Palin bashers have a little free time, the go after Jindal.
Louisana’s last budget was balanced but it was with “tricks”? I can tell you right now I have a lot more faith in Bobby Jindal than I do Tom Roberson (who obviously writes his own bio line).
He stinks on ice.
At any rate, whenever I post something about Jindal, good or bad ( and I’ve posted about him many times in this forum), I also get the usual “He’s not a natural born citizen, therefore disqualified” argument.
Also, Unlike Sarah Palin, he has indicated many times, he’s not interested in being President.
He’s a potential candidate because people like him and what he stands for.
I am quite certain he is not on the table for 2012 ( he said so himself, many times ).
He seemed to handle the oil spill well, standing up to Obama on stupid federal rules, but in general he seems wishy-washy and, as the article states: timid.
He’s definitely not my pick.
My list is short:
Palin
Christie
DeMint
Pence
There may be others, but those are the only 4 that strike me as believable right now and Christie, DeMint and Pence all have their problems (DeMint mainly that he seems to genuinely not be interested).
Which pretty much leaves Palin.
But definitely not Jindal. I don’t see myself supporting Jindal unless he somehow actually got the nomination... which I don’t see him getting.
RE: He stinks on ice.
Who, the author or Bobby Jindal?
RE: Pence
I have not ever known a person who has gone directly from the House to the Presidency... does anyone know if we have such a precedent?
That has always been my impression...however; he was on Beck's radio program the other day kicking twelve kinds of *ss...I couldn't believe it was the same Bobby Jindal. Of course; he was hawking a book, so who knows?
I know Tom Robertson and he’s a friend of mine. He knows whereof he speaks about Jindal.
Yes, he’s done a decent enough job as a supposed conservative here in Louisiana. But it wasn’t because Jindal has deep-down conservative convictions.
Jindal did the conservative thing because there were some folks - talk radio host Moon Griffon chief among them - who stood over him with a baseball bat and MADE him do it.
I know. It’s a problem. Which is why he’s 4th on my list.
The only reason he’s on my list at all is because I believe that the times we live in are so extraordinary that anything is possible, even a House Rep going straight to the WH.
But it is a problem. You are right.
Do you have a link to that Beck segment? I’d like to listen to it.

At any rate..
Jindal is not qualified to be president.
Jindal is not interested because he knows he is not qualified.
Jindal is considered a candidate because peeps are ignorant of NBC.
Jindal is not on table because he said so many times, same as Christie.
Glad you know Tom Robinson and think well of him. I however could not care less or be less impressed.
As for Moon Griffin “making” Jindal do anything...I hardly doubt it. Can you honestly hear Bobby Jindal saying, “Oh Nos...I don’t want to do this but Moon Griffin is going to make me! I’m so scared of him!” Give me a freaking break.
The RINOS have figured out that all they have to do is pretend to be conservatives, just like Romney. Rhetoric is not what makes a conservative, actions do. I’ll take Bachman over Palin any day. Too many people on this site have hormonal attractions to their candidates. That’s no better than t5he retards that voted for the oxygen thief in the white house Obimbo.
Jindal, Palin, Christie ... they ALL scare the heck out of the left.
They want to see McCain running again (or someone like him) and will be voting in the Republican Primaries AGAIN to try and make that happen (again).
Stand up against them.
They are fewer and CAN be beaten.
Expose the left for what they are.
*Bump to the top*
And by the way if you know him and are good friends with him you might do him the consideration of spelling his name right.
Only when they're taking a time-out from bashing Christie. This is becoming a pattern here. Take popular Republicans with some actual leadership skills and knock them down to promote some obscure candidate who can never win.
Sigh. This is going to be a long election season.
