fred, I do applaud you and Yumma for seeing Jindal for what he has turned out to be since his inaugration.
Now if only the two of you and others like you would apply that same level of scruitiny to Bush this country may be in better shape....
Oh we have.. What upsets you and others, is that we have also applied the same level of scrutiny to obama.
But, bush aint running. Moot point.. History will remember him as a great president, and a great man. Party affiliation has nothing to do with it.. If he were a democrat, my opinion would still be the same.

Yeah, why is everyone so incensed! In Calcasieu
Parish we have Police Jury employees making over
$200-Thousand a year. And they are not even
elected by the people, just hired by the Police Jury
to run the show.

P.S.: But our taxes in Louisiana are too high, and
we all need to start a “Proposition 16 - Anti-Tax
Movement” in Louisiana. No new tax approvals nor
renewals. HMP
Legislative pay has been 16,000 since 1980. How can we expect any average folks, which IMAO we need to have serving in elected positions, to miss work at their jobs, even if their employers will grant them leave without pay in order to spend time in BR during the sessions? The legislature is composed of professionals, insurance agents, lawyers, retired state employees, and a few small business owners. We recognize the need to pay for quality in LSu’s football coach, the college presidents, etc. Nobody here has offered any rational reason why legislative pay should NOT be raised at least by a factor equal to a cost of living adjustment since 1980…
Because it can give people another reason for people to hate on Jindal. Please note, I oppose the raise and think he should veto it, but I am not going to throw a hissy fit like a two year old over it.
That’s because you and others like you only care about party labels. Those of us into more substantive depth are appauled at how he has acted in regards to this particular piece of legislation, as well as others.
Certainly a big let down, especially knowing how he could have come in and truly remade this state for the better, but since he is in perpetual campaign mode (for either reelection or vice-president) all we’ve gotten is superficial fluff and a refusal to stand up for his principles (whatever they may be).
Dissapointed? Yes. Appauled? No. I plan on looking at the whole four years of Jindal’s term when making a decison about voting for him, if I still live here. Blanco did a few good things, but the whole picture was not a good one for me, therefore, had she run again I would not have voted for her because I looked at all four years not the small things. Same with Jindal, I am going to look at all four years, if the state is improving he will get my vote. If you want to focus on this one issue, be my guest, I don’t really care anymore.
Huey, Jindals own campign brochure states he will not allow any raise for the legislature during their term. He lied.
So does every other politician.
That’s it? Yes Jindal lied, but so does every other politician??????
Some of us wanted to believe that Jindal was not just another politician. I guess the joke was on us.
Jindal of 2003 was not a politican, Jindal of 2007 was. If you paid any attention to the 07 race, he did everything that a good politican should do. In 2003, I could watch him speak, now I can’t because he gives the speech of a politican.

Then why do you cry so much about what the democrats do ?
Do you just blindly follow the republican party no matter what ?
Don’t act like you are some nonpartisan little angel, you are just as bad, if not worse than every other poster on here, especially the on the national politics board. Since there is not good alternative to the Republicans and Democrats, I have to choose the Repubs.
