Bobby Jindal’s pathetic decline: How he became leader of the “stupid party”

[DonViejo]

Jindal once chastised his party for being "stupid." That didn't go so well, so now he's attacking ... "thinkers"

SIMON MALOY

In the months following the 2012 election, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal tried to position himself as the responsible, forward-looking Republican who could embody the GOP’s vision for the future. “We’ve got to stop being the stupid party,” Jindal said in January 2013, arguing that Republicans “need to change just about everything else we are doing.” The party heard Jindal’s reprimand and basically said, “Ehhhhh, no we’d rather be stupid for a little longer,” so Jindal caved and rejoined the ranks of the imbecilic.

No longer content to simply live among the stupid, Jindal now wants to be their leader against the forces of smart. Writing for FoxNews.com this week, Jindal chastised the growing number of clear-eyed political observers who see little chance of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Of particular note was his attack on the quote-unquote “thinkers” in his own party who he says are too quick to give up the repeal crusade:

But even many conservative “thinkers” in Washington have given in to ObamaCare fatalism. They may not say so in public, but they fully believe that talk of the law’s repeal exists only in the land of unsophisticated rubes.

The country that won two world wars and put a man on the moon cannot, it is believed, repeal a disastrous public policy. Says who? Why not?

3. He's not a leader

Ron Paul, Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert and others were there WAY before him. He just is going where they lead.

5. The leader of the Republican Party is the anonymous donor.

The Anonymous Donor is also the owner of the Supreme Court or at least 5 of them. The Anonymous donor owns numerous State Legislatures. Next on the leaders agenda is to eliminate voting in selected areas such as Michigan. As far as stupid goes it is just a tool. Bobby Jindal is another stupid tool and will be discarded when he is no longer useful.

6. I hate to say this but Bobby Jindal has been in decline

from the day he rejected his own origins. Assimilation is a good thing but rejection of self and one's origins is the beginning of self destruction.

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal's desire to remake and ingratiate himself into ReTHUG[/v] whiteness and all things right wing is the ultimate recipe for self-destruction.

He's a first rate moron and anyone who had doubts needs to watch this again - because he really thought he was doing well here.

7. With just a little revision he could say

"The country that won two world wars and put a man on the moon cannot, it is believed," find a way for millions of citizens without health coverage to have reasonably priced health care of which the ACA is a good start. Says who? Why not?
That's much better Piyush.
