Wow. Pretty lame. He's pushing the old line that Republicans lost the nation's trust because they weren't conservative enough...

"...$8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a 'magnetic levitation' line from Las Vegas to Disneyland..."

This is a lie!

Wow-- this is the new Golden Boy, the great non-white hope for the GOP? It's just stunning how much they don't get it-- and Messenger Jindal was painful to watch.

The hyporcritical lockstep partisans in the gop, and ignorant biggotted wingnuts in redneck Amerika, are arch enemies and dire threats to the security and prosperity of poor and middle class Americans.

The gop is the party of the superrich, the predator class, by the superrich, the predator class, and for the superrich, the predator class exclusively and singularly. Every other American in the gop eye is an integer, a digit in thier fascist calculous.

Democrats must hammer this truth and fact through to the American people until the gop, the patholigical liars, warmongers, and fascists wanton profiteers in the bushgov, and the biggoted racist hatefilled hordes in redneck Amerika are marginalized tappedout, chokedout, knockedout, and submitted. These beasts are wrong. They have not been right on any issue or any policy. All we have to measure are countless failures, abuses, treasons, perversions, betrayals, and wanton profiteeringing.

The gop and Asmodeaus - I mean cheney's fascist cabals do not deserve of warrant any credibility or legitimacy, or recognition. Their fascist policies have FAILED miserably. They have not been right on any issue. They, the fascists cabals in the cheney/bushgov, the lockstep partisans in the gop, and the ignorant biggoted racist hordes in wingnut Amerika are pathological liars and traitors who have not been right on anything, on any issue that impacts poor and middle class Americans. The predator class alone benefits under gop wingnut leadership, - everyone else gets shafted.

Jindal is not a joke (some days are an exception), but he is certainly not a threat. He just doesn't have "it". They can't all be Obamas but he's missing something.

Todd Gitlin,

...like a junior achiever shuffling Republican cue cards.

"And proud we are of all of them."

A conservative friend of mine told me in an email yesterday afternoon I'd be "impressed" by Jidal. I'm very impressed -- it's a stunning accomplishment for any political party to hold the levers of power so firmly a few short years ago to have plummeted so far into the political abyss that Bobby Jindal is their standard-bearer. Citigroup futures are trading higher than the GOP's considering this man was ostensibly The Great Right Hope. We are witnessing the end of a national political party's influence. All we need is for things to get even a LITTLE BIT better by 2010 and you can put a fork in it.

all jindal proves is the core so called 'conservative" is as dumb as white bread.

that so many exist in this country should shock no one.

he is an embarressment to intelligence.

any more proof needed as to where fox news for ex. gets its ratings from?

I thought I was listening to a seventh-grader at a science fair.

It killed me when he slammed the volcano eruption research. Guess he doesn't believe in hurricane research either.

It was a no-win situation for Jindal. I want to know who set him up for that speech? They should have trotted out some old party hack like Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning, who has a secure seat and no political future.

All I know is, it was a happy day in Wasilla.
