Well, that didn’t take long. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was supposed to be the GOP’s savior. But his televised response to President Barack Obama’s speech this week was no bueno, to say the least.
“Conservative commentators were among the harshest critics, calling Mr. Jindal’s delivery animatronic, his prose “cheesy” and his message — that federal spending is not the answer to the nation’s economic problems — uninspired,” according to the New York Times.
A political scientist at the University of Maryland said that Jindal “used old platitudes and party clichés.” Ouch!
Jindal did get one thing right: “You elected Republicans to champion limited government, fiscal discipline and personal responsibility,” he said. “Instead, Republicans went along with earmarks and big government spending in Washington. Republicans lost your trust, and rightly so.”
according to the N.Y. times . is like saying according to msnbc or the daily kos .
The GOP seems to be having difficulty seeing that they had their time, and failed. It is a new era, and they are no longer the voices for it.
As long as its not Jindal or Palin they will still lose but it will be not as embarrassing. Honestly the best choice for the Republican party is Gary Johnson for President!
The GOP will be in the wilderness until the Democrats anger so many pople that the populace will forget the Bush administrations screw ups and will buy what ever they are selling at the time only to end up showing the american people that they have not changed one bit. Then they will spend anopther two Democratic Presidential terms in the wilderness until the Democrats piss everyolne off again. its a cycle. Actually more of a viscious circle.
post 4 that could come in 3 years . and congress sooner .
Who will be the next GOP nutter paraded out in front of us for amusement as the new republican clown?
Jindal also believes in demons and has participated in exorcisms. No way should a nutter like that be in any leadership position at the national level.
After his total failure of a speech, he is celebrating by going to Disney World for more La-La time.
LOL and even Joe the Plumber is dissing Jindal!
What a huge pack of losers!
It’s an exercise in futility for the Republicans to be looking for “a savior” at this point – the country’s still on an Obama-high, and I think we Republicans actually got beat a lot worse than even the numbers showed last fall. The most important thing the Republicans can do is convince REPUBLICANS that they can again be the party that we thought they were – right now, they’re just floundering around, looking for an identity, with the same old leaders. Given enough time, Obama will have the voters looking for an alternative – hopefully next time, we can be something other than “Democrat-lite”.

Jindal is a Republican all right. He can’t pass a lie detector. Typical GOP.
Red,
Are you saying that it’s commonplace for these Reeps to lie? The next thing your gonna tell me is that it wouldn’t be out of character for them to make racist comments.
Shame on you, you commie pinko. LOL!!!
Commie pinko? Man, I think I might need a makeover!
Sean, I LOVE the new Republican Party! Apparently Steele is giving old Bobby some “Slum Love”. WTF? Lmao.

Steele went on to discuss his new “hip hop strategy” for the Republican Party! Ahhahahahaha!
These guys are just getting wackier by the moment! Letterman, Stewart, SNL et al…. have got to be in overdrive.
Red,
That Curtis Sliwa interview with Steele was “friggin” hilarious. Steele and Jindal should take their show on the road. Absolute comedy gold.
Sean,
Here is a column you might want to see. It is from the huffington post and it is titled the “Worst Week Ever: Republicans Unhinged”.
It has been an absolute nightmare for the GOP. Failure after failure.

It has been an absolute full week of comedy during the day as well as the follow up evening comedy shows that exploit those awkward situations!
