Are the Repubes stupid or what? |
|
Did they put Jindal forward because they thought he truly represents the party's future,
or
were they throwing him under the bus because they didn't have anyone who could compete with Obama's message?

1. They've been pumping up Jindal for months |
|
Why do that only to throw him under the bus?
Yes Republicans are stupid, they have been my entire life.

3. Their base has changed. |
|
Repubs have spent decades creating an underclass (either by design or through greed). They now have to appeal to these voters.
That's why they put forward people like Palin and Jindal. Think "WWF wrestling meets Washington". It's all about the show.

4. Well, yes, of course they are stupid |
|
but they are also honestly delusional, they see the world in a very twisted and bizarre way, one that most logical rational people cannot fathom.
They were just doing what comes naturally for them.

5. Do you remember what Obama said on the campaign trail. |
|
"They think your stupid" and another one is " There are some politics being played here"

6. See I always thought it was Cantor then Jindal |
|
But it was Jindal and now I guess Canter. After that I get the feling it might be Palin and Boehner. If none of them work all I see is Sen. Shelby and he's a definitely not.
