I agree. I hope Edwards loads them down. Mr. Governor, don’t worry about the mule, just load the wagon.
Well, someone posted that Edwards was a Conservative Democrat. But all that aside, the good people of LA made their choice. They can live with it.
You are probably closer to the truth than you would like to be. I don’t think that you are quite there yet, but you can see it from where you are.
As I reminded them, #1, no one rises to the position of legislative Democrat leader being a “Conservative.” #2, a Conservative Democrat today is to the left of some of the most left wing Republicans. Terming them “Conservative” is ludicrous. Vitter’s rating in DC was over 90% Conservative. Edwards has no such similar rating since he doesn’t serve in DC, but if he did, I guarantee it would likely be 80% leftist.
I think the good people of LA are about learn first hand what destruction evil people can do in a short time when they are determined to do so. But that is what they wanted.
The vacillating on Syrian Jihadists being welcomed into the state at NOLA should’ve been the death knell for Johnny Bel.
You can’t scare most Louisianaians with terrorism when they are determined to prove you wrong.
There are nominal Republican majorities but quite a few RINOS make it really a Democrat legislature, especially I suspect when it comes to popular “revenue” measures. People in LA love trying to tax somebody else. The late Russell B. Long, who never had a serious opponent after his first primary victory, said “Don’t tax you, don’t tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree.”
That is what probably 200,000 “Republicans” wanted too, and they will never admit that they erred.
Jindal has usually been the kind of politician like one of his House predecessors, F. Edward Hebert, who never endorsed anyone but himself. Of course, Jindal endorsed Rick Perry in 2012, but not too much came of that! I think he finally endorsed Bill Cassidy in 2014 against Landrieu but was not excited to do so. A Jindal endorsement would have sunk most candidates this year.
Vitter certainly ran a poor campaign: results speak for themselves. His campaign manager, whoever he is, may not get another big gig soon.
the media in n. orleans reported how refugees are good for business and how vitter’s wife works for catholic charities, an organization that wants refugees in the usa. thus the media accused vitter of being hypocritical again, while pivoting back to the hooker story.
Born and raised in Baton Rouge. I can only say I am saddened by the people there (not my family) returning to the corruption of the democratic socialist. Having said that Vitter was not exactly a tea party candidate. The proverb “as a dog returns to him vomit” comes to mind for the future of LA.
