Jindal: GOP should change
‘just about everything’

Washington Times [DC], by Jessica Chasmar

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 1/25/2013 9:11:51 AM

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is calling on Republicans to “recalibrate the compass of conservatism” following a crushing blow to the GOP on Election Day. Mr. Jindal is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting Thursday night in Charlotte, N.C. Speech excerpts released early Thursday indicate Jindal will be the latest of conservatives to urge a change within the GOP, the Associated Press reports. “We do not need to change what we believe as conservatives — our principles are timeless,” Jindal says. “But we do need to re-orient our focus to

Let´s hear the entire speech and not just jump on the snarky title.

I love Jindal for this reason alone.

I agree. The GOP includes more women, African Americans, and Hispanics into leadership position and yet, it is easily neutralized by democrats essentially by demonizing and ridiculing these people.

The GOP needs more pitbulls and barracudas to deal with the new democrats/socialists/marxists bullies. They had Allen West and Herman Cain but stood to the side while the democrats destroyed them.

If they can´t fundamentally change, they need to step aside for a new political party that represents non-democrats.
They can start by re-framing the social policies argument based on new demographics and recruit disenfranchised democrats, libertarians and independents.

They should change their acronym. Now it is the GOP...Gelded (by) Obama Party.

The party of steers probably needs to be completely replaced.

Jindal is a poor choice for the Pub nomination. He is funny looking, slight, evangelicals won´t vote for him, he´s made a fool of himself on several occasions, used to be a Hindu which will be used against him just like Mittens being a Mormon was used against him, and on and on.

Jindal is ripe for being picked apart by the MSM. Let´s get a normal candidate for a change. No religious issues, no mental issues, no divorce issues, no foreign issues, no ethics issues. Find someone clean without baggage.

They need to repeat over and over, they care about the environment - demanding that all gov´t buildings install solar panels over the next 3-5 years.

Then, they need to put about 6-8 people who are part of the establishment who go out on all the TV and radio shows like the Democrats have. Articulate, and good with the presentation.

Focus on economic issues. Taxes isn´t it either.
Gasoline prices is a good place to start since it affects everyone, and Democrats want higher prices.

Link this to new jobs in exploration, drilling and transportation that are being created in this area.
Illustrate how the new revenues will help provide revenues for teachers, police and firefighters, and help reduce the costs for same product use by the various gov´t agencies (which affects budgets) - you´ll rally large sections of these groups to this position.

Demand the Post office switch to electric vehicles - they don´t drive very far and would be ideal use.

In my opinion, the GOP Leadership would be wise to give careful consideration to Governor Jindal´s "tactical" advice.

In addition to being a first-rate Chief Executive of the Pelican State, he is considered an intellectual "superstar" who was a Rhodes Scholar and holds a Master of Letters degree from Oxford.

I am seeing a trend in all these GOP articles that boils down to "they are not telling the right lies".
Forget the lies. How about the truth? How about they say what they stand for and back it up? Maybe they could stop capitulating and moving to the left to attract parasites. Maybe they could get some spine in the leadership.
Another good idea would be to actually acknowledge and investigate voter fraud.
I have real trouble casting a ballot for someone I don´t respect.

While the Republicans ponder what they could have been and what they need to do, very many of us have moved on, and won´t be coming back.

The GOP is toast. The only difference between the Dems and Repubs is that the Repubs are not malicious criminals.

Republican or no Republican. I will NEVER. EVER vote for a d´rat. "In that I am unanimous". Gov. Jindal, good points made.

While I agree that solutions to living and growth cannot come out of Washington, destruction of our way of life can. What will it matter if states under the leadership of people like Jindal are successful if Washington taxes and spends their wealth away.

The federal government is a THREAT to our success and way of life. It´s actions cannot be ignored. It needs to be neutralized.


Reply 14 - Posted by: privateer, 1/25/2013 2:03:14 PM     (No. 9139050)

Yes, demand the Federal Government use wind, solar and electric vehicles, even for presidential motorcades. And DON´T say: practice what you preach. Give no opening to be clobbered with a quasi-religious reference. Say instead: be good "stewards of the environment". And 10, I agree about listening to Jindal---but don´t even think about running him! We need a bare-knuckle street-fighter, not some Marquis of Queensberry dude like the last pinata. Someone who will respond vigorously to lying defamation.

FTA, The governor says the GOP’s Washington-centric obsession on government bookkeeping is a “rigged game” and that the GOP focuses too much time on the budget, deficits, debt and entitlement programs.

“The Republican Party must become the party of growth, the party of a prosperous future that is based in our economic growth and opportunity that is based in every community in this great country and that is not based in Washington, D.C.,” Mr. Jindal says."

Well, amen to that. Headline is misleading.

G8: Barack Obama looks like
a president going through the motions

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Women will have the chance to join the Navy SEALS, Army Rangers and other specialized combat outfits beginning in 2016 under plans approved Tuesday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Female candidates will also be able to join front-line Army and Marine Corps infantry units as part of the department’s decision. “The days of the ‘Rambo’ are over,” Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, head of force development for Special Operations Command, said Tuesday during a briefing announcing the changes. Tuesday’s announcement builds on former Pentagon chief Leon Panetta’s decision in January to end the military’s long-standing ban

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a car crash in Los Angeles at the unforgivably young age of 33.He is best known, rightly, for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who as commander of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan was the face of the war that Hastings saw as misguided and poorly managed. His profile, “The Runaway General,” portrayed McChrystal as a loose cannon so sure of himself and his strategy for the war that he and his staff openly derided their civilian overseers,

Senate rejects border fence

Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built. The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it. Republicans had offered the fence as a way to

[Video] Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory (R-Opelousas) explains why he recently switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. He discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854. Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community. Hello, my name is Elbert Lee Guillory, and I’m the senator for the twenty-fourth district right here in beautiful Louisiana. Recently I made what many are referring to as a ‘bold decision’ to switch my party affiliation to the Republican Party.

A toddler whose feet were amputated after her father accidentally backed over her with a lawnmower in a horrific accident in April took her first steps on her new prosthetic test legs on Monday. Two-year-old Ireland Nugent has been in a wheelchair and undergone seven surgeries since the April 11 event. She was released from hospital in Tampa at the start of May. Nugent was fitted with her new legs Monday and promptly took off walking as soon as they were on and there were emotional scenes after the five-hour fitting procedure. Scroll down for video

Tough global rules to stop mega-rich firms and individuals from dodging tax were unveiled at the G8 summit today. David Cameron demanded the world’s most powerful countries act to stop countries shifting profits to low-cost tax havens instead of paying they dues where there are earned. The Lough Erne Declaration - signed by the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - vows to ´fight the scourge of tax evasion´ by ensuring automatic exchange of tax information and changing the rules to stop multinational companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying their fair share.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.

The Obamas never miss an opportunity to mingle with the stars and during a two-day trip in Dublin, who better to have lunch with than iconic Irish rocker and philanthropist Bono? First Lady Michelle along with daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, started Tuesday with an hour-long visit to picturesque Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains--but the two girls looked like they would have rather slept in at their luxury hotel. Glendalough is famous for its Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, the hermit priest.
