Five Reasons Bobby Jindal Is Responsible For Transforming The GOP Into 'The Stupid Party'

Days after Mitt Romney lost his bid for the presidency, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R) kicked off a publicity campaign for his 2016 run, casting himself as a different kind of Republican. In a series of interviews, statements and op-eds, Jindal called for reform within the GOP, embracing a more moderate message that could appeal to middle class voters.
if you stop saying what you have but you "keep your principle" then you are deceitful and are cosmetically altering your appearance, problem with that your actions will reflect no change from the former stance. if you are something that you subscribe to voraciously then you will reveal your true being, if you are arrogant too you will run like a race horse to be recognized as that which you really are.
In a Thursday night speech to the Republican National Committee, the Louisiana governor urged his party to give up its obsession with Washington budgeting and "become the party of growth," not austerity. "We must shift the eye line and the ambition of our conservative movement away from managing government and toward the mission of growth," he said and laid out "seven things that I believe we must change if we are to amass a following worthy of our principles." Principle 4 states that the GOP "must stop being the stupid party":
We must stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican party that talks like adults. It's time for us to articulate our plans and visions for America in real terms. We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. We've had enough of that.
But before Jindal begins giving advice to members of his own party, he might consider how his own record is alienating mainstream voters:
1. He permits Louisiana schools to teach creationism. Thanks to Jindal's educational voucher system in Louisiana, students will be attending private or parochial schools on the taxpayer's dime. But those schools don't necessarily meet the standards of the state's public schools, and may teach students creationism instead of standard science curricula.
2. He allows state employees to be fired for being gay. During his first few months as governor, Jindal decided not to renew an anti-discrimination executive order protecting LGBT employees who work for the state. Jindal has also said that same sex marriage opens up a path for courts to overturn the Second Amendment.
just a couple to wake your curiosity as to one of the rising stars is actally a right wing political Blackhole.
keeping up his rhetoric decries all they claim they are not doing. wonder what his exp. date is?
