The GOPs New Star: Jindal

[Bern80]

Sorry, dude, I've been in these situations and his story sounds false.

Oh I would love to here this. I what basis at all is there, with ZERO counter evidence whatsoever, to assume he's lieing? Is this really the point you want to use to counter the other side? That because he's republican, or being a politician or whatever, he's lieing? You would of course believed Obama had he told a similar story, don't deny it.

It sounds false because the "bureaucrats" probably wouldn't have been able to stop someone from launching their boats to rescue someone. And I doubt the "bureaucrats" even had a way to communicate with these people with the boats. Things weren't exactly under control at the time.

Also, Jindal never mentioned this in his WSJ piece:

Cross Country - WSJ.com

I think he is full of shit, personally. Not that it matters what I think, the guy shot himself in the foot with his baby talk speech.

Umm reading for comprehension is your friend. What Jindal said happened was a Sheriff was on the phon with a bereuacrat who told him he couldn't allow the people to do resuce because the boats weren't licensed. it was a simple phone conversation between the sheriff and whomever this bereaucrat was. From the story it can not be interpreted that he was communicating with any of the actual boats. According to the story said bereacrat did not prevent the usage of the boats, because the sheriff essentially ignored him.

Was this sheriff a real sheriff or a "joe the plumber" sheriff?

Based on past GOP performance, Bobbi is lying.

What does the GOP lieing (allegedly) have to do with bobbi? Are you saying Jindal himself has lied about some egregous thing. If so, show me.

Bobbi is saying we should do the exact same thing we did the last 8 years, only don't spend any money, which the GOP forgot to do when they were in charge.

So the reason to not try tax cuts AND cutting spending would be..........

It all comes down to what we are spending the money on.

Bobbi and the GOP will never agree on spending money on the poor/middle class, just like we will never agree that the USA should spent more than every other country combined on Defense.

Falling under the lie repeated often enough heading;

FACT: Of all the income tax cuts, the middle class received the largest under BUSH. To say that the GOP has not focused on the middle class in terms of improving their financial stake is a flat out lie.

Maybe you are right too. But who's listening to a bunch of people who insist on being intellectually dishonest with us?

When you can be honest that key democrats played a negative role in creating this economic mess then you can talk about intellectual dishonesty with some credibility. Until then, thanks for the laughs.

You are familiar with the concept of innocent until proven guilty, yes? If it's a lie it's a lie and I have no problem chastising Jindal till the cows come home for a made up story, but you need to prove the case. We have two people now calling him a liar. What evidence do YOU have that story is made up?

 

[Wolf]

If Bobby Jindal, Eric Cantor or Joe 'the unlicesnced' plumber are the GOP frontrunners.. its gonna be a long 8 years for the party before country, Republicans..

lol...I know people in LA, and I've been in hurricanes. When people need rescuing no one waits for permission.

and the unfounded bashing begins

Again you are interpretting the story incorreclty. Where does it say the Sherrif was waiting for permission? Where does it say the Sheriff made the phone call?

The point Ravi that you need to man up to is that you have called the story a lie, but that assumption is based on a lot of things that we either aren't told or you have presumed without cause.

Even if the story was embelished in some way or details changed, doesn't change the overall truth of the statment's premise. That government, more often than not, gets in the way rather then being of much help. An undeniable fact is that boats need to be licensed to be legal to operate which could be problematic in certain situations.

It is so laughable that this is the best you lefites can do. You have no ability to argue the substance of what was actually said so you make arguments that are basically as hominm attacks that are so ridiculouosly irrelevant as far as substance is concerned that it makes you look like a pre-teen.

This is what I believe is a lie: The boats were all lined up ready to go - when some bureaucrat showed up and told them they couldn’t go out on the water unless they had proof of insurance and registration.

I'd love to know if his Katrina story is true, it sounds made up to me.

Of course the comments of the lefties here don't amount to much intellectual merit. We basically got don't listen to him 'because he's from India' (his parents are from India, minor detail) the opposing equally stupid response would be Obama is bad cause he's from Kenya. and "I think he's lieing (though i have no evidence to prove it)"

I don't think anyone said he wasn't smart.

But he looked like a total goofball, and totally corny and inauthentic. C'mon man, giggling at your own lame jokes?

This guy would have got laughed out of a locker room of red blooded heterosexual men. He looked like a total cheeseball, and most people can't tolerate cheesballs and corn dogs.



Jindal, 2012!!!

What evidence are you using to suggest that Obama is not the real deal? I suspect it is just your hunch.

he is supporting the same stupid policies that got us where we are NOW
need any more proof?

 

[rcajun90]

may be smart as a whip and the next great Republican, but he's the worst speaker I've ever heard including Bush. He desperately needs to take a public speaking class cause no matter what many think, thats a big part of the job and that boy couldn't inspire a chimpanzee

He is very bright but not ready to become president. Kind of like Obama.

Jindal has a very Southern drawl which is odd coming from a very Indian looking guy. I don't think anyone in this state considers him to be a great speaker.

 

[manu1959]

Any substance? I missed this part. Or more just say no to Obama?

hard to respond with substance to a speech that lacked any.....

 

[Life_Long_Dem!]

He was ok...more Obama is a bad irresponsible liberal bullshit than anything else....nice way to support the country and your prez in a time of need you GOP ASSWHIPS!

 

[Toro]

Soooooooooooooooooooo much better than Palin...

 

[Life_Long_Dem!]

Jindal is a phony and even fox panned his speech as zombie like...if he is the best the GOP has you all are in even more serious trouble than first thought.

 

[Life_Long_Dem!]

Jindal’s speech was so lame even FOX News tore him apart. Brit Hume said, “This was not Bobby Jindal’s greatest oratorical moment.” Nina Easton assessed, “The delivery was not exactly terrific.” And Juan Williams concluded Jindal’s speech “came off as amateurish, and even the tempo in which he spoke was sing-songy. He was telling stories that seemed very simplistic and almost childish.” You know your party’s in trouble when your “rising star” is spinning folksy bullshit that even FOX won’t buy.

Remember Republicans didn't like it that Clinton smoked pot so they voted for a cocaine user GW Bush?

Then they said Obama didn't have experience so they picked Palin to be one heartbeat away from the Commander and Chief position?

And they didn't want to vote for a black muslim so they are now supporting a guy from India? I heard he was born in Bengladesh. Anyone see his birth certificate? And he's a Hindu. Are Republicans really going to vote for a Hindu?

And remember they criticized Obama for his pauses in speech, and then last night they put out a studdering mother fucker to be their bright and shining star?

I suspect Bobbi is a smokescreen. No way that is going to be their candidate. I hope he is, but no way. That would be too easy.

Typical for the GOP, who want a CASTE system in America, to try to sell us on a guy from India.

The 'Indian caste system' describes the social stratification and social restrictions in the Indian subcontinent, in which social classes are defined by thousands of endogamous hereditary groups, often termed as jātis or castes. Within a jāti, there exist exogamous groups known as gotras, the lineage or clan of an individual, although in a handful of sub-castes like Shakadvipi, endogamy within a gotra is permitted and alternative mechanisms of restricting endogamy are used (e.g. banning endogamy within a surname).

Although generally identified with Hinduism, the caste system was also observed among followers of other religions in the Indian subcontinent, including some groups of Muslims and Christians.[1] The Indian Constitution has outlawed caste-based discrimination, in keeping with the socialist, secular, democratic principles that founded the nation.[2] Caste barriers have mostly broken down in large cities,[3] though they persist in rural areas of the country. Nevertheless, the caste system, in various forms, continues to survive in modern India strengthened by a combination of social perceptions and divisive politics. [4][5]

Where did Bobbi's father fall in the CASTE system?

Does Bobbi approve of the CASTE system?

Is India the way we want America to be?
