In 1978 if a Detroit company wanted to do business in Louisiana the CEO jumped on a plane, headed to Baton Rouge, carrying with him a “bag of incentives” for the governor.

In 2008 if Louisiana wanted a Detroit company to do business in Louisiana, the governor jumped on a plane, headed to Detroit, carrying with him a “bag of incentives” for the CEO.

In 30 years we’ve gone from being the pimp to being the john.

You REALLY have a serious problem---4-5 new threads(who knows posts?) slamming Jindal almost everyday....

Did he fire you ? or a relative? where you turned down for a job in new adminstration ? Are you a Blancoite? A hard core Dim?

I mean 1 or 2 threads aday, maybe..but seriously there are days when I have counted as many as 5 anti-Jindal threads started by you....geeezzz....how boring your life must be and how deep your hatred....and don’t say"I just care about good gov’t,etc.” That’s b.s.

This goes way beyond normal discontent and borders on insanity !!..ggeezzz.......

I remember Blanco and a number of Gov.’s going to meet with potential companies that would relocate to LA.

With your blind hatred you act like Jindal started this.....take your blinders off and think rationally every once and awhile....

You really have serious problems---no facts to support your man--idolatry of a mere politician---no command of the language---no ability to formulate an original thought---need I go on?

I mean you would have a lot more creditability if you just told everybody how wonderful the corporate welfare is and how great it is that it is dispensed arbitrarily and how wonderful it is that employment in government increased 8000 people in Louisiana over the last 12 months and how great it is the state is spending more money than ever before and how wonderful it is Jindal contributors are doing so well and how great it is the state is getting into the commercial property development business and just think the rebuilding of Charity is right around the corner----you know all the things the man you idolize supports.

Which Jindal position is it you have disagreed with????? You have yet to admit a single mistake. YOU LOVE HIM and won’t admit it.  You only care about his approval rating regardless of his actions.  If his approval drops to 30 you will hate him. Lemming.

I am sure if the governor were reading these threads he would certainly appreciate you at least attempting to defend his big spending ways. You are embarrassing him as a blind supporter who does nothing but attack his critics.

Does it not bother you at all that two of the most fiscally conservative posters here are badly disappointed in Jindal?

He doesn’t just love Jindal.  He is also IN LOVE with Jindal.
