Comments on: Jindal: Something Is Wrong With The GOP

Face The Nation: Republicans Discuss The Future Of Their Party Following Election Losses

[rjstolba]

Jindal needs to switch parties. He''s too lucid and progressive to be a Repugnican. He is also very, very right about his party. While I''d like to see them stay #2, I think progressive thinking Repugs like Jindal could Make their party relevant again. Of course, that means that Newt and his compatriots get the boot.

Rowdydfw,

What specific bills passed by the democrats and signed by Bush Jr. do you blame for the economic downturn?

[smirk5]

Sarah Palin in her own words:

"My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska%u2019s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars."


She knows words. She just doesn''t know how they''re supposed to fit together to make any kind of coherent statement.

The Bush cult of personality is what is wrong with the GOP. Enough people became sick of it and voted the bums out. They''re a hoard of mindless sychophants parroting party ideology in lockstep: "tax cuts create jobs" is all we heard during the campaign, for example. Then Bush press secretary Paraino says during the time of the bailout arguements, "credit is what creates jobs." The only thing that is clear about the GOP is that nothing they say can be believed, and the American people caught on to this fact by the millions. The GOP had a chance in theory with Palin up through her RNC speech and until her first interview. Once she spoke her mind, we all saw how small and uneducated it is. She was not of the caliber of Hillary Clinton. Game over. The thought of her runing amock like a *** Cheney in lipstick, let alone President, was unsettling to say the least. If she is intelligent, her only abilities center around twisting words and wielding power. At every turn she and the GOP responded to factual critisisms of her with twisted untruths. The GOP rank and file repeated the twisted untruths and praised Palin and McCain. The voters in realityland voted Democratic.

"Jindal: Something Is Wrong With The GOP"

Awww...

And it only took them eight years to figure that out.

But don''t take their word for it, they''ll need four to eight years of spankings before they''ll begin to learn.

Let the spankings begin! WOOHOO!

In the last 8 years, Republicans demonstrated that:

They are for big spending

They are for big gov''t

and they are for nation-building.

The thing they were against? The wishes of the American public. How''d that work out?
President-elect Barack Obama.

What Republican''s need to do is what is best for the country and the voting public WHILE THEY ARE IN OFFICE!!!!

Not at election time or post lost-election time.

I predict their screww-ups these last eight years will be remembered for the lifetime of millions of Americans.

What a Shame :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Maybe Jindal should perform an "exorcism" like he did in college and get the "devils" out of the GOP. He could start with Palin.

[smirk5]

"We''ve got to match our actions with our rhetoric."

"Number two, we''ve got to stop defending the kinds of corruption we would rightfully criticize in the other party."

"Number three, we have got to be the party that offers real solutions to the problems that American voters, American families are worried about. We don''t need to abandon our conservative principles; we can''t just be the ''party of no.'' We need to offer real solutions on making health care more affordable, on the economic challenges facing families, on the international threats."

Jindal is saying the right things even though I really doubt he means it. After all, he is a Republican.

Now, watch the Republicans eat him for dinner.

Newt on Palin: "She''s a wonderfully, intelligent" when she couldn''t name a single supreme court case besides Roe, when asked what newspapers she reads answers "all of them" Newt.. PLEASE let Palin be the de facto standard bearer for your party! It insures that the republican brand will remain in the minority FOREVER!

Watch out for this nut. He is the one with a degree in biology who wants schools to teach creationism along with evolution. That tells us that no matter what the evidence shows (and he should know better) - he will pander to anyone who will vote for him, even if that group wants to bring bronze age myths (i.e. religion) into the schools.

"This morning, class, we will study Astrology and Astronomy, with special emphasis on the statement that Gravity is just a theory. This afternoon, Alchemy and Chemistry. And anyone who wants to answer "goddidit" on the science exams will get the same mark as students who provide the scientific answer. Just remember, kids, that your formal education stops at this high school, as no university worth its salt will accept you unless you take a one year remedial science course to erase the religious brainwashing that Governor Jindal and his supporters want to impose on you."

CBS: "So you do not see [Palin] as the de facto leader of the party at this point?" Schieffer asked.

"No," said Gingrich. "She''s a wonderfully, intelligent...

-LOL! Nitwit Gangrainich is funny!

NO BAILOUT for the auto industry! For too long, they have been too arrogant, overspending, overpaying their workers and promising lifelong benefits, while refusing to change and implement new innovations. So why should they now look to suck the blood from the rest of us?? They should file for bankruptcy, re-organize and rebuild with new ideas instead of asking for more money and continue down the same path? Of course, many others will be affected, but one needs change and until we do that, they will come back asking for more, more, more. This will never end: SO NO BAILOUT!!

Jindal''s part of the problem. All his solutions were just the same ole, same ole that we''ve heard for the last 8 years. And although it makes me feel odd to say it, Mr. Gingrich is more aware of the nature of the real problem than Mr. Jindal.
