I admire the DEMS in politics. They have a take no prisoner mentality, win at all cost.

It’s ironic that they are the most spineless “leaders” where it really counts.

I hope REPS are learning a big lesson right now and when they regain power they hold firm to conservative principles and do not give DEMS one single “throw me a bone” scrap of compromise.

We need to continue to rub our REPS collective noses in it so they never forget this crap sandwich.

A decently educated and level-headed 12-year-old can see through this administrations grab for total control of the individual and Statism/Fascism, plus a nod to the one-world-government idea.

Not question Obama’s patriotism? You’re kidding, right ?

This kind of idiocy is what got us to the point we’re all now “enjoying” so much.

Great googly-moogly…. it’s a Saturday, not even Noon and the agita level is close to maxed-out.

I’m gonna steady myself and clean my AR’s.

hardcore Conservatives play it for blood…ie: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld etc.

I don’t view Jindal as a spokesman for the Republicans. That being said, the Republican Party needs to develop a coherent economic message with specifics and stick to it. They Party needs to demonstrate how their policies will help everyone in this country without resorting to Obama’s brand of socialism. That has to be the message of the Party and they need to stop the fringe attacks on Obama like his birth certificate, his tax return, etc. Instead, that stuff should be handled by the radio show hosts. Its a two-pronged attack where the Party itself stays out of the fray while laying out a positive plan of economic principles. There are enough disbelievers in Obama over the fringe issues to raise doubts about him, but the Party itself needs to stick to the economy!

Just asking.

Governor, at the end of the day, VPOTUS Cheney sounds and looks more Presidential to me than the sitting POTUSSA Obama.

I don’t know if Jindal is serious about running in 2012, but a few more comments like this, and he won’t even qualify as an ‘also-ran’.

dealing with this Administration. First, the Administration is dangling all sorts of money out there and it is hard to turn it down, strings or not, in the Democrat-manufactured recession. Second, Democrats actually know how to use the federal bureaucracy and make it do things for them rather than to them. Republican states are facing an onslaught of auditors and investigators with the misery of Republicans as their mission.

As I’ve said before, give me a small team of auditors and investigators and in a few weeks, I can have anyone who deals with federal funds and programs in jail. With appointees who are fund managers, the rules are so arcane that they cannot be fully complied with no matter how honestly you try to do so. They are also susceptible to being very subjectively interpreted. Rest assured the Feds will be highly motivate to interpret things in was that don’t favor Republicans. Elected officials are in an even worse position. The “corruption” convictions that the Public Integrity Section got here in Alaska have essentially made it illegal to be in politics. Here’s the logic: Officeholder A received a contribution from Interest 1/Interest 1 is backing Bill I/Officeholder A voted to pass Bill I/Therefore Officeholder A voted for Bill I because he received a contribution form Interest 1. That is a definitional fallacy, post hoc ergo propter hoc. It is just as valid as saying the sun set after I ate dinner therefore the sun set because I ate dinner, yet the PIS is convincing juries, even hometown juries, that this fallacy is enough to send people to jail. In all but one of the corruption convictions of legislators or former legislators, there is NO evidence of a quid pro quo for any vote.

Bottom line: If you are a Republican holding elected or appointed office, be afraid, be very afraid – and watch the people who work for you! If you’ve never worked inside a government, you have no idea how easy it is to set up and take out a political appointee.

This is just one comment by Jindal, however, it provides a great lesson.

I see more and more from Reps that they are searching for their own “savior”! Wrong on so many levels.

Look at what happened when DEMS ordained Obama as “the one” w/out any vetting.

I’m not equating Jindal and Obama as far as substance, but rather, highlighting the trap of hoping someone is going to save us from ourselves.

Real leaders step up and rise to the top, they are not made by a party.

Trickle up politics is the path, and a real leader will come forward and embrace it.

(sorry for redirecting traffic Redstate) Uncommon Knowledge and watch VERY closely the interview with Shelbey Steele.

First what a brilliant man, second I take away from this that conservatives should be conservatives and attack Obama by tying his policies – SURPRISE – to him.

This is 1994 formula for victory – the Reps. outlined conservative principals against Clinton and translated that into national victory. We must weaken Obama every chance we get.
