I’m getting back on top of current events after a lot of community organizing and web design work. I’ll look through your Bobby Jindal related articles and leave another comment here soon.

The McCain visit, while sincere, did leave a bad taste in the mouths of some bloggers, myself included

“That is why we need to go back is to have a conversation about what to do– rebuild it, tear it down, you know, whatever it is,” he said

As to what are you missing, I am not sure. I could point you to several of the posts both here and on “Jindal Is Bad“as well as the other sites linked to from those posts.

I would suggest clicking checking out all the “Bobby Jindal“entries on this site first and go from there. He has proven himself to be a hypocrite many times over in his first 100 days. He held a double standard for many of the ethical changes he wanted to put on everyone else. He has proven that he is for sale to the highest bidder. Need I go on? I will let you read on yourself and find out.

And if at the end of the day you still like our Governor then that is your right. However, I believe that had more people taken the time to listen to the other side of the story instead of trusting the Jindal spin, that the election result would have been much different.

What am I missing?

It would actually be refreshing to hear a politician say “I am going to do the job I was elected to do and would say no if offered some other position”.

Of course, I don’t expect Jindal to be that sort of “refreshing” politician, to expect that would be absurd. I expect Jindal to be evasive, to give dodges, to be the typical politician that we both know he is. However, others do promote the idea that he is different, are still drinking the kool aid, and are still being shills for him regardless of the proof that proves otherwise. Many people still feel that he brings us hope for a positive future. I spoke to a woman at Jazz Fest (while waiting for my shuttle) who said that she hoped Jindal would be a positive for our state. When I explained what he did with transparency and his double standards, she was shocked. More people need to know that he is a hypocrite, that he is not who he says he is, and that he is not to be trusted. Jindal cannot be allowed to claim that he has slain dragons (or that his legislation will make it easier to slay dragons) without being called out on his lies.

So when Jindal does something to prove he is not the person that he presented to the voters, I will call him out on it. Do you think I should stop, or should we exclaim that the governor has no clothes?

“Let’s frame it like Crouere did: What other current potential Veep candidates are being pushed into saying whether they would or wouldn’t accept a spot on McCain’s ticket?”

Did Crouere frame it like that? I only heard the opening portion of his show so I may have only heard him say that Jindal is the only one being asked to be on national TV shows.
