Common, Bobby. You can do better.
It really does not matter, since according to the “birthers,” Bobby Jindal is not a natural born citizen.
Jindal obviously jumped the shark, or he was overrated
to begin with.
In my opinion, anyone that plays nice with Marxist should
be thrown out with all the RINOS.
“At the recent Values Voters Summit hosted by the Family Research Council in Washington D.C., Jindal finished seventh with only 5% of the vote.”
1. Mike Huckabee 170 28.48%
2. Mitt Romney 74 12.40%
3. Tim Pawlenty 73 12.23%
4. Sarah Palin 72 12.06%
5. Mike Pence 71 11.89%
6. Newt Gingrich 40 6.70%
7. Bobby Jindal 28 4.69%
8. Rick Santorum 15 2.51%
9. Ron Paul 13 2.18%
10. Undecided 31 5.19%
11. Other 10 1.68%
Goodbye Bobby. Final blow to his presidential ambitions.
While I think Huckabee might make a viable candidate in the primaries, Romney won’t be. He’s DOA. Tim Pawlenty can give it a shot, but he’s got a very steep road to travel.
My big question is this: Where is Senator DeMint’s name? At this time, and I know it’s early days, the nomination is his to lose.
Way too much hero worship among conservatives.
Bummer for Jindal, he seemed like a really classy guy - but he probably hired a bunch of “professional” Republican advisers as I’m sure that he didn’t have much time to spend on national issues, given the hell-hole he’s trying to run over there. As to the poll where Huckster is up 2:1,...the only poll that matters, to me at least, is one where you have to pay-to-play, and on that poll (i.e., Amazon.com), it’s all Sarah.
I actually like Bobby. I have seen him speak and he does great, but I cannot figure out what he is trying to do here.
When he runs for president, I am afraid that some will claim that he is not a natural born citizen.
Personally I prefer someone who doesn’t need a team of advisors to tell him or her which way the wind is blowing.
Looks like a popularity poll, and not a values poll.
I think McCain is having an evil influence on the party. Jindal was never a very forceful person, but I always thought he was more clear-cut than this in his conservatism. Looks like McCain (who is supposedly trying to remake the party in his own image) got to him. Too bad for Jindal.
The governor is headed down the wrong path. I like the guy a lot and I hope somebody pulls him back quickly from this plethora of political mistakes he has embarked upon.
Jindal-going to fundraisers and raising money
Vitter-going to townhalls and listening to the people
Now we know why Jindal has fallen off the wangon.
For the most part, polls are more of an attempt to drive public opinion rather than guage it. In the run up to last year’s election, many polls included people who weren’t running while excluding people who were actively campaigning.
American Idle politics at its best.
No, No, No. No frigging compromise on health care ever. Everytime someone even allegedly on our side says, “everyone agrees we need to fix health care”, I want to puke. All that does is give democrat trash and their media the ammunition to say “everyone wants healthcare reform” without defining what “reform” really means or even who “everyone” really is. Jindal ought to be ashamed of himself.
Someone needs to tell Jindahl that this has nothing to do with “health care reform.”
Obama and his dem cohorts are trying to launch a complete government takeover of the entire healthcare industry - one sixth of the American economy. Like Rush says, “If they control your healthcare, they own you.” It’s all about control and power, Bobby....NOT reform.
And by the way, Gov. Jindahl, when was the last time the democrats approached the Republicans and said, “We would like to work with you in a bi-partisan manner?” I hear the sound of crickets.....
“Personally I prefer someone who doesn’t need a team of advisors to tell him or her which way the wind is blowing.”
Obviously. I’m just guessing here, but maybe he was simply trying to have someone tell him what issues are important and what the best positions are...so he doesn’t get nailed like Sarah did. Reagan didn’t need the advisers, but then he didn’t have an office at the time. I just think that the ‘professional class’ of Republicans is so dominated by the McCain types that finding a decent adviser is next to impossible, within the party (even though 75% of us FReepers could do the job right). What would be neat would be Rush vetting and selecting advisers for people like Jindal....that would keep Jindal out of these messes.
