He nailed it. For the first time in years, I saw the Republican Senators stand up as conservatives this week.
I know politicians are competitive and ambitious, but it would be great if Jindal, Palin, Mark Sanford of SC, and some others were to form a tiger team of GOP leadership. They could really move the party in the right direction, and make 2010 and 2012 into good years.
Why doesn’t he just stick to fixing the zillion problems in Louisiana and stop worrying about campaigning for president.
I really hope this guy runs for the nomination in 2012. I like Sarah P. and would proudly vote for her if she were the nominee, but based upon what I’ve seen of Jindal I would prefer him to be the nominee. His grasp of conservatism and his ability to articulate the conservative position is phenomenal.
Really? Is that why so many Democrats running on conservative platforms have replaced RINO Republicans across the country? Is that why Obamalamadingdong himself used rhetoric first espoused by Ronald Reagan again and again on the campaign trail? Obamalamadingdong even evoked Reagan's name on several occasions.
This is still a majority conservative country. The problem isn't primarily the electorate. The problem is very few Republicans are Conservatives and far too many of the ones that do claim conservative principles fail to stick to those principles once elected. What we have is a conservative leadership vacuum, not a lack of Conservatives in the electorate.
You couldn't be more wrong.
The fact that Obama has to run his campaign on giving tax cuts to 95% of Americans is one sign. The fact that Obama has to run against deficits and irresponsible spending is another sign. The fact that Obama has to run against wasteful gov't finally indicates conservatism wins.
Yes, he won with the socialists pushing behind him, but Dems always get those people. Obama won because enough conservative people believed his rhetoric and deemed him safe while they were sick of Republican spending.
If the country was not more conservative, why do you think the stimulus bill is losing support as more and more is known about it? Socialists should be proud (and they are defending it). Average Americans, who are conservative, see it as more waste than good.
Conservatives have won the argument, we just haven't implemented it.
Bushbots, Mcainiacs and other Rinos need to be exposed.. Ann Coulter has been doing it(that) for many "books" now.. What needs to happen is exposing the liberal republicans and dealing with THEM.. The other so-called liberals are beyond help.. The republican party will never be trusted again.. Trusting the "party" is what caused "this" situation..
There needs to be a new caucus invisible to both parties.. An "UN-secret" caucus, even an under ground.. with ideological kamikazes, like Coulter.. Ann takes all the abuse of the left and THRIVES on it.. Shes NOT a coward, you know, like most republicans.. SHe eats abuse and spits the seeds..
America NEEDS many Ann Coulters in many living rooms, garages, pool halls, and restaurant's.. Glen Beck seems to have gotten the message.. Limbaugh needs to re-visit his outrage.. Take it to the streets.. Forget the internet and TV and radio.. SHort wave transmission needs to have a resurgence.. and morse code even..
The optimism needs to STOP.. nice clean pessimism needs a re-start.. True.. I'm being optimistic but I'm not perfect.. forgive me..
he gets it. Will he be at CPAC?
It is encouraging to here that another generation of conservative republicans are stepping forward. The current crop of baby boomer leadership in the GOP ( with some exceptions ) have failed themselves, the Party and the Nation. Good riddance to them. The sooner they get off the stage the better we will all be.
GO BOBBY! GO SARAH!
It explains the campaign donations (or lack thereof), too. McCain just wasn't pulling in any money until Palin was added to the ticket. I didn't give a dime until the day Sarah accepted McCain's offer.
He should thank his lucky stars they did not succeed. Being associated with that moron and his candidacy is the last thing a conservative needs. The only reason McDumbass got as far as he got was Sara Palin, can anyone honestly contend that she was helped by it.
He is. He is able to multi-task.
Gee...some pubbies are sounding like Rush. Zero’s not gonna like that...LOL!
Tim Walberg from Michigan. He was at the top of a list of 5 names they called lost causes. He was also one of those who stood firm against the bank bailout (and GOP leadership)
He can not run because he is not a Natural Born Citizen, oh forgot that’s not necessary anymore. Yes Jindal in ‘12!
pinging to your ping list.
The only thing Palin gained from the McQueeg association is name recognition.
A truly endangered species...an intelligent politician.
I like this guy more and more.
