I think we can already see the broad outlines of the 2016 Republican Presidential campaign, regardless of who the nominee is: The Democratic Party is pro-Iran, pro-gay, and anti-God. The Republican Party stands up for God, Hetero Jesus, and America. I hope whoever the Dem nominee is can do a better job of dealing with the smears than Dukakis and Kerry.

Wow, Piyush Jindal. It is clear that this guy was bamboozled into having a high opinion of himself. He now shows he is really just a stupid blasphemer like santorum but, being preceded by vitter and succeeded by scalise in the US House is something anyone would want to divert attention from.
Poor little Piyush is a raving right-wing bigotâand he believes that he has a future in national politics.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Jindal. Still trying to be one of the guys in the âin crowdâ will always go with the extreme. Heâs that guy who will do anything to prove heâs one of âthem.â Makes him even more dangerous. FYI, these bills arenât just about gay people. Thatâs a foil for a greater agenda, like, ACA and refusal to allow treatment for âreligious reasonsâ and general discrimination of Muslims, minorities and for resegregation purposes.

Calling him Piyush like that implies any shame in the fact that he decided to go by Bobby isnât really any better than the âBarry Soetoroâ or âJon Leibowitzâ comments. It looks like an attempt to either otherize or claim cultural betrayal, neither of which sit well with me given how much I grew up around other first and second generation Americans (and half count as one myself.)
He was born in Louisiana. Heâs lived there his whole life. Itâs not unrealistic that he feels more connection to a name like Bobby than to Piyush. Names are a personal thing. Respect that.
All of that said, holy crap, Jindal is an idiot.

Is there a single right wing bandwagon this guy has not jumped on? Talk about leading from behind. Once Jindal endorses a position, it must be considered by the right wing as a sign that the issue has run its course and time to move on to something else.

Spot on! Theyâre turning the laws of this nation into a religious interpretation of their own strongly held beliefs. âReligious freedomâ must trump all individual liberties. If my religion says that i can discriminate, then i must defend my religion from secular logic, and pass laws to allow me to discriminate against anyone who is different from me (and those who think like me). The voter suppression laws and the religious freedom laws are a part of the same, growing threats to American democracy. They officially took office pledging to upohold the Holy Bible of the United States; not the Constitution of the United States. Religion trumps everything! If you say otherwise, youâre attacking their religion, thus justifying the passage of religious freedom laws, enshrining their religious beliefs as the law of the land. Go on! Defend a secular state! I dare you! Just by defending Constitutional law, youâre attacking my religion, which goes against the Constitution youâre defending.
Itâs all so perfectly simple.
Yes, i said simple!

The whole âBarry Soeteroâ horseshit was in fact a birther fraud, an attempt to âproveâ that Barack Obama was not an American citizen. His name was never Barry Soetero; it has always been Barack Hussein Obama, something Obama has NEVER tried to hide, regardless of the fact that to most Americansâespecially to white wingnut Republicansâit sounds âfunny.â http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/studentid.asp
Iâm not going to stop using Piyush when referring to Jindal any more than I was going to stop using Willard when referring to Mitt Romney.
And for that matter, given that Jindal has spent most of his political life pandering to the exact same ignorant and bigoted segment of the country that would regard his own parents as less than desirable Americansâlike the racist cops in Huntsville, Alabamaâhe sure as hell is betraying his own culture.

Seems as if Bobby forgot how much wealth the aerospace and oil industry bring to his state in the form of sales and property taxes. Shame

Jindal wants his name out there front and center, just like Mike Pense. It has become uncomfortable to watch this creature demean himself (and his state) to such an extent. Give it up, Jindal, âtheyâ are never going to embrace you as one of the cool kids.

Does this silly little man really think he has a chance to become President? He seems to get more light-weight every day with every issue he feels compelled to weigh in on.

After the Indiana fiasco, youâd think heâd know better. This is nothing more then a desperate, hail-Mary attempt for attention for a guy whoâs not even in the rear echelon of Republican presidential candidates. Unfortunate, it makes him dangerous to the citizens of Louisiana.

And howâs Piyush gonna handle the back-lash should it pass and New Orleans decides it would rather not be part and parcel to such hatred and they form their own State leaving LA with Baton Rouge?
New Orleans has only hosted 9 Super Bowls and 5 Final Fours, along with probably hundreds of conventions every year. What could go wrong?

Along with Jindal and the other potential Republican nominees, I donât think Iâve ever seen a group of politicians trying so hard to ensure they lose the Presidency by backing a law which most of the countryâs citizens find horrendously odious. But, if they want to continue shooting themselves in the foot, Iâm more than glad to sit back and watch, safe in the knowledge that none of these idiots will ever be in the White House.
