What are you talking about?? Your little sophomoric insults? I could make a more intelligent argument in support of Jindal than any you have posted and you are the king of Jindalicans. You can’t carry my jock strap.
franklin foil is a nice person and has a lovely family but how can you possibly judge his abilities as a legislator or a potential future candidate for gov? that is ridiculous. he is in the begining of his first year.

Nice guy, but the pay raise issue is not forgivable. Recall his ###.
Out of all of the votes the Legislature has taken, what makes this pay raise bill so much worse than any of the others?
There have been abortion bills, creationism bills, gambling bills, budget cap busting bills, bills dealing with all sorts of major policy issues ....... yet this one bill makes people want to recall them?
While I wouldn’t have voted for it (any raise should go into effect after the next election), I do believe there is a lack of perspective going on. Perhaps it is simply that this bill is one that the average citizen can understand, and they quite naturally don’t like it.
In any event, none of the recalls will come close to actually removing anyone from office.

I think what got many was the arrogance. Since Katrina/Rita most are ready for some real change in Gov’t and many are very impatient (See IB Freeman, etal). I’ve been trying to give some of legislators and the Governor the benefit of the doubt but have been somewhat disappointed. When you have people like Reed from Da Parish basically poking the public in the eye it stirs anger.
Many of the reforms voted on have not yet born any fruit so at this point I’m unsure of the good or bad of them. My Rep is Rogers Pope, who I know to be a good and serious man and a fiscal conservative. He didn’t vote for pay raises. My Senator is Dale Erdey who voted for the raise. I know him through acquaintances and now I’m not really sure how conservative or serious he is.
