Jidal Blasts Administration on Energy
— Ace

First impressions matter a lot, but they're often just plain wrong.

A lot of people wrote off Jindal based on his unconvincing SOTU rebuttal several years back. (Three?)

I don't see that Jindal here. I see a damned confident and forceful speaker.

6 I just realized that if you're allowed to remove a letter from the name of any politician, political discussions are a lot less annoying.

In 2007, Roney said he raided the democrat party to pick the weakest candidate against Bush 41 by saying his ultrapartisan ballot was actually "independent" on his sworn voter registration. In 2012, Roney says that Santorum's call for democrats to cross over and support Santorum's actual policy views... not to screw the GOP but to support Santorum, is also raiding the party, and that raiding is "outrageous" and "disgusting".

At the very least, it seems Mr Roney has some kind of strange form of depression to call himself disgusting.

As for Jindal, I just wish the dude hadn't participated in an honest-to-goodness exorcism, and then written so glowingly about it. That's pretty much the only thing I can think of that hurts his national prospects.

20 While the nations first impression of the scoamf making a speech to the country was favorable, you must remember that President Bubba's first speech to the country sucked as bad as Jindal's. And don't forget that Govnr Robbie Jidal came in third in the Hot Gas vote.

Posted by: eureka! at February 28, 2012 09:29 AM (4e3Me)

26 For those asking why Jindal didn't run it's because the Louisiana gubernatorial election was in October there is no way a principled guy can run for reelection and then 3 months later leave to run for President. And Jindal is a very confident, forceful speaker his problem is that he talks too fast because he has such a great grasp of the material. Jindal has been a great governor and will be a great President one day.

30 "Dustin, you're OT. And you're also annoyingly singleminded in your trollery."

I'm not trolling. Roney called his own behavior outrageous and disgusting. It's probably the single worst flip flop I have ever heard of.

I should say I think Jidal would be a superior president and a superior candidate, and he is one of the few I would like the delegates to consider, because Roney has serious deficits with independents, and it's not possible for him to recover because of his credibility problem (see: flip flops).

"As for Jindal, I just wish the dude hadn't participated in an honest-to-goodness exorcism"

Yeah, America has a lot of religions that seem odd to those who disagree. I don't think it's a legitimate thing decent people criticize other folks for. I could list a few things about Mormonism of the time Roney insisted on a deferment from the draft so he could travel the world spreading it, but the fact is it's just not relevant. I just disagree with the guy on religion, and that's fine in America. I disagree with Jidal, too. It's no biggie.

Anyway, you have this strange need to respond to criticism of Roney with personal attacks. You shouldn't get personal every time someone points out Roney's problems, because he's got so many and you wind up hurting the ABO agenda.

Posted by: Dustin at February 28, 2012 09:32 AM (wcT+8)

31 Jindal is the most intellectually gifted conservative out there, and is second only to Marco in the ability to articulate conservative principles extemporaneously. This guy's a winner, I just hope we can survive until he steps up.

In part, this belongs here and in part it belongs on Laura W's "Looted" thread, but I got this from NRO regarding the EPA's global warming regulations:

"What the D.C. Circuit is looking at is a fantastically expensive and convoluted regulatory program that is uniformly acknowledged to produce no discernible climate change benefit whatsoever. Yet that exercise in pointless social mortificationÂ—a kind of permanent socio-economic Lent without EasterÂ—threatens to elude any of the ordinary checks and controls. . . ."

57 I don't recall Jidal ever explaining that he voted in the other party's primary to make sure the other party got the weakest candidate. I think that was Roney. Which is odd, because Jidal also never called that practice "disgusting". That was also Roney.

I don't see Jidal offer some strained rewrite of his apparent record over and over again, either. That seeeeeeems to be Roney again.

Yeah, I think Jidal would make a great VP at least, but he is on the short list of guys who will make whoever we nominate seem less than we need for the occasion.

Jidal's endorsement of Perry shows he favors results over pizzazz, too. I really like the guy.

Attention all Democrats: Governor Rick Snyder just endorsed Mitt Romney, the same Mitt Romney who said "let Detroit go bankrupt." Mitt Romney doesn't care about Michigan. This Tuesday is our chance to send Romney and Gov. Snyder a message. So please, go vote on Tuesday for Rick Santorum in the Republican primary. Now voting for Rick Santorum on Tuesday does not mean you're becoming a Republican. You'll still be able to vote in the Michigan Democratic Party Caucuses and to reelect President Obama in November. This is our chance to send a message to Gov. Rick Snyder and his buddy Mitt Romney...Remember: a vote for Rick Santorum is a vote to embarrass Gov. Rick Snyder and Mitt Romney. Vote Santorum on Tuesday.

Classy, eh? I'm sure Dustin et al. will be able to explain this away as no big deal. I love the naked statement that "you can still support Obama in the fall!" That particular bit is delicious.

Jeff, I think Santorum's call for people to vote in the other party's primary is wrong and have repeatedly said so.

This is the second time you have claimed I have a position I do not. The first time, you said I blamed Romney for a Cain smear mere minutes after I said (in that same thread) that such a theory was ridiculous.

When I called you out, you were actually angry I challenged you.

Dude, it's not personal. I'm just calling them like I see them.

"Oh, by the way, Santorum's taking the "Democrat outreach" to an entirely new level of noxiousness today. Here's his latest robocall, via TPM:"

And it's interesting that if someone criticizes Romney, you instantly complain it's off topic, but you feel at liberty to be just as off topic. Not that I mind you bringing Santorum's choices up. I think it's a good thing to discuss. But you probably need to work a little harder on your honesty.

99 80, he is wrong. The establishment is trying to sell a middle road, that we can make everyone happy and get the Independents this year. It can be repealed, easily. Best way is to tie the repeal to the fix for the Medicare -- basically return the 500M and repeal Obamacare in the same bill. You can actually take the knife deeper then Obamacare -- because none of the remained Dim Senators will vote against the old people.

115 btw, since Romney was boasting in 2007 about raiding the wrong party's primary to pick the weakest candidate, Romney's fans who are criticizing Santorum here should actually react to that information.

All Jeff did was go ad hom.

Santorum is wrong, but he's asking for people in the wrong party to support him. He's not asking them to pick the weakest candidate and screw over a party. Here's Romney's quote "IÂ’d vote in the Democrat primary, vote for the person who I thought would be the weakest opponent for the Republican."

Jeff mocks Santorum with a "Classy, eh?"

But what's worse: voting for someone in the other party because you like them better, or voting for someone in the other party because they are a weak candidate?

I don't think Romney's word "disgusting" fits either case, but I think both are wrong and I think Romney's flip flop on this looks pretty bad.

But I don't think Jeff will admit that his criticism of Santorum's class applies more to Romney. I hope I'm proven wrong.

129 I love Jindal. I don't think he should have run this year he does need another term as gov. My favorite thing I ever saw was a interview of Jindal and his wife (who is also of Indian descent and Catholic) and the typical MFM reporter asked, "So, what kind of Indian traditions do you incorporate into your lives and hope to pass down to your kids." (or something) and they sort of looked at each other and his wife said something like: "We're AMERICAN, so we mostly stick to that American stuff." It was hysterical, the reporter was totally flummoxed.

130 "I'll vote for any Repubican candidate agasint the SCOAMF. But trust me, if Santorum gains the nomination, the focus of the entire election cycle will be on the devil and birth control...the MSM will see to that."

I think the election will be about the economy, and if the democrats do that, they are falling into a trap and will appear to be out of touch.

I also think the conventional wisdom that consistent religious folks are extreme and unelectable is a big lie. They want so badly for to believe it, but the truth is that Santorum's comments resonate with a lot of people, as does his common sense point that he isn't going to ban contraception. I think the hysteria claiming he would would quickly become a punchline. I actually think the issue would benefit Santorum, who is great on foreign policy and energy and a few other issues.

Santorum is wrong on some issues, but he is honest about it, even when it clearly doesn't aid him politically. This is like a breath of fresh air to those who see politicians whose promises all have expiration dates.

Romney is pretty sour to independents, and he appears to be headed in the wrong direction. In 2008, he won the Michigan primary in a landslide, after all.

I would much rather see Jindal be the nominee, because I think Jindal is similarly honest to Rick, but I agree with Jindal on many more issues.

anyway, don't take the democrats at face value when they tell us Santorum would lose so we better not nominate him (which is exactly what they are saying when they joke they will support him).

You want to deprive gay couples who get together anyways the right to work together heck even adopt children. I whole heartily support gay couples to adopt children because they are removing a burden off the system. Are you against the Constitution of the United States? If you aren't, then pass a constitutional amendment to the Constitution regulating the practice limiting it to a man and woman. As for abortion, I am fine with defunding abortion from the federal government HOWEVER I am okay with birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancy unlike Huckabee or Santorum. In fact, they want us to dumb our lives down, tell us sex is for procreation only, keep women in the "traditional" role that social conservatives deem appropriate, etc. I'm married and I would never subject my wife to all the bullshit Santorum wants me to do. In fact, I happily want my wife to be more involved and not pressured to be a stay-at-home wife that social conservatives wants her to do.

# 133: I believe I saw a poll yesterday indicating that the 99% vs. 1% tripe isn't working; most American's aren't buying it and most Americans think the top taxpayers are already paing enough. (Think I saw that on Drudge). I think most Americans still want to be like Romney, but that percentage is probably waning, given the generation of entitlement vampires we're raising).

But put the fear into a white, middle to upper middle class woman that she won't be able to practice birth control (you and I know that's bullshit, but we're talking about voters who don't know shineola about civics or the world around them if it doesn't have to do with DWTS)

If the focus is on the economy, the Repubs have a better chance of winning than if the focus is on birth control, and I can't see how anyone can disagree with that. And you KNOW that if Santorum wins, every evening night network news show will have a story about birth control or the devil.

138 Good speech, except he started talking about "all of the above" on energy including wind, solar, clean coal which is a bunch of B.S. I know it's probably just boilerplate to appease the squishy moderates, and he adds the qualifier of "letting the market sort it out", but it's still B.S. In order to go to the next level politically, he'll have to figure out how to distill a 5 minute answer like this into a 1 minute answer (AKA debate format).

I think Santorum is a very honest man with absolutely no experience running anything... and the President runs a two million employee three trillion dollar clusterf*ck while defending the free world.

Oddly, I think the issue that tips the scales to Santorum is electability. For some reason, the conventional wisdom is that Romney is more electable, but I personally think that's wrong.

Another big issue for me is how Romney has become a proxy battle for serious conservatism, whether Social Security is a ponzi scheme, and honest/serious efforts to get entitlements under control.

And that right there is why I am not a social liberal/libertarian. You should stop flogging straw men and go flog (ahem) something else. I have never encountered anyone who has said sex is procreation only, and that includes conservative Catholics who follow the Church teachings on artificial birth control. I also know of none who "keep women in the traditional role" unless you're talking about members of the Religion of Peace.

The people who are undermining CA's legal system are very much interested in gay marriage.   Enough that they'll destroy and twist the system to get the "right result".    Note how CA's attempt to amend their constitution to re-affirm that marriage is 1 man + 1 woman was shot down.

Anyone can shack up with whomever they want and call themselves "married".    You can call that a "natural God-given human right" if you want.    That does not mean that society has to formally recognize every such relationship with a piece of paper and legal benefits - same as there being no formal gov't recognition of your right to breathe or sleep.

This isn't Gov't taking gay marriage away from teh ghey peoples.   This is gay activists trying to redefine legal marriage to include gay couplings, so that they can feel that their relationships have society's approval.

Seeing how the gov't is an expression of the people's will, trying to change gov't in this way is going to require the consent of the people.   So far they keep trying to ignore the people's will when it gives the "wrong answer".

Merely that the long-term data is absent and what data we have is thin/biased. Some of it even shows that kids who grow up in such situations do have problems. My point is that all the people advocating for gay marriage and specifically for adoption of kids by gay couples almost never mention the well-being of the kids in question as being of any concern. It's almost always assumed that of course they will turn out the same and that anyone who even raises a question about it is some sort of bigot homophobe. And probably racist.

Jindal is a Rhodes Scholar and knowledgable on most topics. He can speak at length, without a teleprompter, and has a very solid command of the facts involved in whatever he's speaking on. It really is a shame that the Louisiana gubernatorial election was in 11, and not 10 or 12.

He personally witnessed the incompetency of this Obama administration first hand during the Gulf coast oil spill. Also,he comes from a Democrat controlled state that is the epitome of dysfunction, corruption, and greed, which makes him very knowledgeable about what happens when Democrats are given charge of cities and states.

Let's not forget that Jindal vs Obama flare up on the tarmac, which turned out to be political maneuvering by the president to look good in front of the cameras.

If there is an axe to grind, I would think Jindal would be that guy.For me,it comes down basically to him having the balls to swing that axe around for the good of the country. We've listened to all the good talkers.That time has long passed.

168 @164 I give you Rosie O'Donnell. Yes, we all despise her for her bullshit regarding "No differences between Christianity and Islam" but all of her kids have turned out to be heterosexuals. There are currently gay couples today that have turned out a lot of heterosexual children. A friend of mine was raised by two lesbians and he turned out to be a full blown heterosexual just fine which he's had his own daughter with his girlfriend. Even in Europe such as the Netherlands (one of our closest allies), where gay adoption does occur, there is no significant correlation that makes any heterosexual children turn out to be gay because of being raised by gay parents. Homosexuality has mostly to do with genetics even bisexuality. In Iran and the Muslim world, they execute homosexuals left and right but you seem to never question why they do this. It's genetic, not environmental. If environmental was the case, then there would be truly no homosexuals in the Muslim world. Yes, I'm a social liberal but I'm a strong fiscal conservative & capitalist. There are more social liberal people in this country even in the south than there are social conservatives. The independents are overwhelmingly social liberals than there are social conservatives. As for fiscal issues, being a social liberal does not always mean that they are for federal funding of abortions.
