Obama speech to be rebutted by Jindal

Jindal.... Steele........Crist.....
Nice to see that the "party of the white straight man" is trying to change.

"Gov. Jindal embodies what I have long said: the Republican Party must not be simply the party of 'opposition,' but the party of better solutions."

Please let that be true. Used to be more republican, before they turned into a joke of a party. If nothing else, let them learn from their near-destruction in the house and senate that people just want solutions, not opposition.

Do like Jindahl. He needs more exposure.

The republican party needs "new" faces. Mitch McConnell is not one of them.

More organization for republican governnors. They seem to be all over the place.

Start vetting the candidates for 2010 and 2012.

The repubs need to be more united(is that possible without getting the same old group back in?).

Stick to protection from government interference, school choice (let funds follow student), less taxes.

The people are ready after less than a month!

Bobby Jindal was supposed to be the Republicans "Obama." Minus the political skills and ability to be elected president.

I'm sure they did some focus groups and polling on him in the red south. Once word spreads that he was Hindu til he was a teenager, and then he became a Catholic who participates in exorcisms, he'll be lucky if the rightwing fundie nutjob base in Miss, Al, Tenn belt don't call for him to be burned at the stake.

Hey Joe: true, Bobby Jindal can never be the Republicans' Obama. As opposed to Obama, Jindal has real executive experience. Jindal is brilliant, whereas Obama's purported intelligence is mainly confined to spouting platitudes in a cool, rhythmic manner and figuring out ways to con and mislead people. Jindal is a man of creative ideas and principled action. Obama is a man of no principles, tired but repackaged ideas, fancy talk, and when he does act . . . God help us all! You're right, Jindal is no Obama.

Big_T: You can say all the things you dislike about Obama, but to call him unintelligent or uneducated exposes you as a partisan. Just FYI if you want to sound more believeable in the future.

Joe: I never wrote that Obama was "unintelligent" or "uneducated." My point was that he has only DEMONSTRATED his intelligence to me through his political abilities, which are undoubtedly effective but not necessarily praiseworthy. Nothing that I wrote is inconsistent with the possibility that the guy could have above average intelligence, although I was suggesting that his intelligence was lacking compared to Bobby Jindal. But, no shame in that: Jindal is smarter than 99.999% of the population.

Maybe Obama will impress me with his other mental abilities in the future, but I won't hold my breath. His dishonesty in pushing the stimulus bill is a perfect example of what I was referring to in the previous message: using cynical political posturing to sell a bill that no truly serious thinker could ever promote with a straight face.

In short, your response to me relied on a red herring - a logical fallacy. But, then, leftists like yourselves have been spewing out logical fallacies like crazy lately in support of the so-called "stimulus" bill and other misguided Obama decisions/policies. Yes, I am a partisan, but I try to avoid using illogical arguments. FYI: maybe you can try it that, too, as you'll sound more believable in the future.

Big T, say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't cower down after saying it. You insinuated stupidity, and it is there for all to see clearly.

Big_T: Don't purport to know me and call me a leftie because I called you out. I just happen to like Obama but am an independed on leans left on some things and right on others.

You say Bobby Jindal is a man of creative ideas and principled action. I feel that way of Obama. I don't see the cynical posturing you suggest, and your absolute-speak about serious thinkers again is partisan shill talk. Don't accuse me of logical fallacies when you're speaking in swish cheese arguments and being partisan when I'm not.

I'm not of Obama's party, I am just enjoying him being president after the last 8 years. And I voted for W once. just once.

The problem Bobby Jind will have is: Louisiana is still the most corrupt state in the Union.

He won't be able to "reform" it, only preside over a succession of scandals and ineptitudes.

so, he better make a bid for higher office fast, before his impotence becomes open and obvious.

Jindal just ended his political career with that amateur speech and performance. It was not a reaction but standard campaign rhetoric not becoming of a new kind of Republican or any upcoming politician. He represents the worst of the Republican party and got a well-deserved thumbs down on his negativity.
