Hopefully he’s a closet Hindu who sacrifices chickens in his basement.

The kind of “Southern” guy who will take the Religionists on yet another ride down the path of phony spiritualism.

Just the kind of politician the GOP, Social Conservatives, Values Voters, and the Monomaniacal Single-Issue anti-Abortionists should be backing.

Frankly it no longer matters whether an alleged “conservative” cares about small government, low taxes, limited federal powers, and personal liberty.

It’s all about that hypen (x-conservative) and the best possible rendition of Elmer Gantry.

Your comments indicate that you are a narrow-minded bigot and a fool.

Right on friend!

The ‘religious persecution’ whine is the most annoying bit of self pity/self delusion in the nation by far.

These people are so ‘brave’ by declaring their religious beliefs. Give me a break.

I don’t believe Jindal is phony at all. Why do you say that?

You apparently don't know anything about Jindal, which is a shame, since he is an accomplished and principled conservative the like of which we haven't seen for years. Here's a quote from a fairly typical article by a Conservative activist:

"Jindal, in his last term, had an ACU (American Conservative Union) rating of 100, with 96 for both terms. In addition he has consistently taken the No New Taxes pledge proposed by Americans for Tax Reform.

"...In 1991 he was a young Hill staffer working for U.S. Rep. Jim McCrery. One day McCrery asked him to look over some Medicare plans being proposed in committee. A couple of days later, he brought back to the boss a totally revised system that was so impressive McCrery introduced him to Louisiana Governor Murphy J. Foster Jr.

"A few years later, Jindal, at the age of 24, was appointed Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. He took hold of the state's Medicare program, which was running at a loss of $400 million, and in three years produced a surplus of $200 million.... If Jindal gets a chance to debate Hillary Clinton, Hillary will be fumbling for her cue cards."

And Angkor: Google is your friend.

Jindal is for all of these things, genius.
