Bobby Jindal on Face the Nation

Bobby Jindal was on Face the Nation on June 15th.

A few thoughts about what he said.

A) Republicans have embraced corruption since they took control of Congress. At least he was honest about that.

B) Jindal still never answered the question on whether he would accept if asked. (We all know the answer, so why won’t he answer the question?)

C) Jindal ignorantly stated that race wont be an issue in this election. I rarely question Jindal’s intelligence, but now I have to. The only time race will not be an issue in elections will be when racism is eliminated.

D) Jindal believes that local school boards should be able to decide the kind of curriculum that is shown to kids in schools. So if a local school-board decides that the world is flat, we should allow that?

And hey, I agree with Jindal that life wasn’t put here by mistake and that a creator was involved. However, that belief is not science and does not belong in the classroom.

And a newsflash for Jindal. Keeping Intelligent Design out of the classroom is not ignoring facts or theories and it is not politically correct. It is scientifically correct to only include items that are actually part of the scientific process in the science classroom. Intelligent Design/Creationism is not part of the scientific process.

Other things about that show. Of course the host did not question Jindal when he claimed to have brought ethics reform to Louisiana. He also did not question Newt’s endorsement of Jindal for V-P, which included the lie about Jindal’s ethics reform.

    Dan what do you think about the recemt raise legislators gave themselves? I used to be a Jindal supporter but now see he is just another politician promissing the world to get elected but delivering nothing.

    Don’t you think he should veto the bill? Jindal claimed to be against the bill but he says he will allow it to become law and not veto it.

    What about Willmott who campaigned on no new raises but voted yes for the increase every step of the way?

    Sorry if this is off topic for this thread but I haven’t seen you address this in another.

    I just got back from vacation so my blogging has been limited. I intend to post about this issue before I go to sleep.
