Bobby Jindal Gives Up, Joins the 'Stupid Party'

[DonViejo]

More than a year after saying Republicans need to not be the “stupid party,” the governor of Louisiana has given in to the dumb.

In the days after Mitt Romney’s defeat in the 2012 election, conservative wunderkind and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal stepped up with harsh criticism for his party. “It is no secret we had a number of Republicans damage our brand this year with offensive, bizarre comments—enough of that,” he told POLITICO. “It’s not going to be the last time anyone says something stupid within our party, but it can’t be tolerated within our party.“ Republicans, said Jindal, ”should stop being the stupid party“ and should ”fight for every single vote."

Jindal saw himself as the person who could lead that fight. He could offer a new image for the GOP, without sacrificing its policy positions. And after an aborted attempt at immigration reform—led by the party’s erstwhile star, Florida Senator Marco Rubio—the GOP adopted this approach. New rhetoric and a softer tone, without the divisiveness of new policies.

But, unfortunately for the Louisiana governor, the Jindal approach didn’t include Bobby Jindal. Unpopularity in his home state, coupled with the rise of a new star in the form of Ted Cruz, left him in the dust, struggling to find a national constituency among Republicans. And whereas once he criticized the stupid, now—desperate for political attention—he has surrendered to his power. Which is how you get his recent rhetoric at the National Governor’s Association meeting in Washington:

“The Obama economy is now the minimum wage economy. I think we can do better than that, I think America can do better than that,” said the potential 2016 presidential candidate, suggesting that the president approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, rein in regulations and expand drilling on federal lands to boost economic growth.

4. You are too Kind to Bobby

He was stupider (my word) earlier than that. Didn't you know he used the Power to Christ to compel evil spirits out of people?

"In December 1994, Bobby Jindal published an essay in the New Oxford Review titled “Physical Dimensions of Spiritual Warfare.” In the essay, Jindal claims that he participated in an exorcism as a college student and that the exorcism cured his friend “Susan” of cancer."

and-

"For nearly six years, he’s been under the mistaken impression that Louisiana voters elected him to be a partisan political celebrity. And maybe it was hubris or maybe it was just stupidity, a refusal to understand the facts, but either way, six years after he was first elected, Bobby Jindal went from being the most popular Governor in the country to the least popular. In fact, Bobby Jindal is now the least popular Governor in Louisiana history"

6. So approval of the Keystone pipeline will increase the minimum wage in Philadelphia?

Or something?

If Republican were a brand name, no one would even pay the fees to register the trademark.

7. This useless POS lives in a dream world

“It’s not going to be the last time anyone says something stupid within our party, but it can’t be tolerated within our party.“ Republicans, said Jindal, ”should stop being the stupid party“ and should ”fight for every single vote."

Yep. Stupid is as stupid does. Jindal is in the right party.

And what about Reince Penis saying they made mistakes after the 2012 election? He indicated they need to learn from their mistakes.

Did they learn anything?

Will they ever learn?

Nope!!!
