Jindal: Cruz’s Iran Remarks, Not ‘Helpful,’ Critics Should Be ‘Voice of Reason’
Breitbart ^ | 7/30/15 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 07/30/2015 11:34:30 AM PDT by VinL

Louisiana Governor and Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal argued that fellow candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 96% ’s comments that the Iran deal “will make the Obama administration the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism” were not “helpful” and that “those of us that have been opposed to this deal have been the voice of reason. I don’t think we should give up that position” on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day.”

Jindal was asked about Cruz’s statement He stated that he’s opposed to the deal, but “I wouldn’t have said those words. I don’t agree with those sentiments. Look, I think that those of us that have been opposed to this deal have been the voice of reason. I don’t think we should give up that position. At the end of the day, the terrorists, or the radical Islamic groups and individuals out there, and the state sponsors of those terrorists have been Iran, and some of these other countries that have sponsored some of these groups. I wouldn’t have used that rhetoric. Again, I oppose the deal, but I don’t think that rhetoric’s helpful.”

Jindal was then asked about the rhetoric in the GOP primary in general, specifically Donald Trump’s comments about illegal immigrants, and Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz’s remarks about the Iran deal, he responded, “I know there a lot of candidates that are going to say whatever they have to say to be as outlandish as possible. Maybe they think it’ll help them get in that debate stage or move in the polls.”

He added,

Perhaps if Jindal prefers to talk all niceties he should stop by the liquor Store and pick up some boons farm strawberry wine and run on over to Linda Grahamnasty’s and mix us some Sangria and talk about Nice stuff. Maybe you could even invite McCain.

Freaking Dana Parino type RINO wuss!

Jindal, why so wimpy? Trump has opened the door for y’all to speak boldly. Why are you so timid? I guess old habits are hard to break. Go take a seat next to Mitt Romney (loser of last presidential election). He can tell you how to conduct your life after a wimpy, failed presidential run.

Bush, Perry and now Jindal are acting like pussies because they don't like the "tone" of Cruz & Trump.

Pathetic !!

They simply don't get it, we're tired of all the political correct BS, tell it like it is!

Normally, I am a Jindal fan, and usually he articulates quite clearly, but here, he’s way off. Cruz laid down the right framework for the debate. With the billions going to Iran out of our pockets, the US is now funding a terrorist state, and is the largest such donor. It’s a simple fact and it’s called framing the discussion. If he wanted to make it less about Obama, one could say the this deal made the US the #1 terror funder. That could potentially be a stronger less partisan version of the same argument.

Jindal is wrong. He is wrong on principle and he is wrong tactically. He gains nothing by attacking Cruz and he gains nothing by going weak in the knees. I’m looking for a fighter. We already have plenty of weak sisters out there afraid of their own shadows.

So far, our fighters are Trump and Cruz. Our weak sisters are all the rest. Makes it easy.

It's past time we stopped being "polite" with Dems. It doesn't accomplish anything and makes us look weak.

That's one major reason why Trump is so popular -- he's the one person in the pack willing to spit in their eyes.

He lost me when he didn’t do anything about the union thugs that beat up his aides in New Orleans.

Governor Jindal can go home and maybe do a few cameos on Duck Dynasty.

Probably the wrong issue for Jindal to not get.

“Does Jindal think that this deal will NOT make Obama the leading global funder of international terrorism? It seems pretty clear that it will do precisely that,”

Jindal lost all credibility here. This is too dam serious a subject to try to make political hay with.

Buh bye.
