Bobby Jindal's Head Vs. Sarah Palin's Heart

Reader Comments

Back to blog

Jindall's anemic performance has lived on during the Deep Horizon oil spill crisis. Lots of bluster though......not much action. Well within his state's rights to mitigate damages caused by this disaster, jindall has buckled under the pressure of federal bureaucrats time and time again. There have been clear cut cases where the state could have acted well within the law, but the Governor has let himself be bullied by the fed government. Apparently, Bobby jindall is a careerist too, unwilling to make waves and evidently fearful of the power in Washington.

If people would actually listen to Gov Sarah Palin's own words and not others interprtation of them they would have a totally different opinion. She is intelligent, informed, and does indeed have heart. Anyone seriously question her ability to 'connect' with people????

Making big headlines

Jindal made up the story about being with the sheriff during Katrina

Anyone who steps on people for political gain, remains silent at political rallies while supportors shout out death to an opponent and who tortures and kills animals for fun has no heart.

Obviously not. Jindal lied about the high speed rail, one of the Republicans current false talking points. He also made statements to give a false impression about Obama's health care plan. What Republican health care plan was he talking about?

"Sarah Palin's heart-based conservatism does."

Christians do not lie nonstop.

Both of them are politicians hungry for power. Palin has already shown she will step on people.

If the Republicans would stop making robots out of candidates, they might find a decent candidate - someone the will standup and speak their "real" thoughts.

I heard Jindal several times right after the election. He said things that made sense, but some were not "Republican" thoughts.

Who the hell is Obama? All I see and know is Sarah Palin. She is all that matters.

I certainly welcome the Jindal/Palin ticket- or vice versa- to challenge Obama in 2012. That should make 2008 look like a nail biter. Let's see; 10 point spread? 15 point spread? The wreckage of the Bush years undone? Health care under control? The budget deficit halved? The Bush wars over? Another Obama term sounds very good to me!

Double digit inflation

Double digit unemployment

Double digit interest rates

Double the size of government

Double the deficit

Yea, I'm sure everyone is going to be lining up with tears in their eyes to vote for him again.

Much of the harsh attacks on Jindal came from his own party, not the Dems who were content to stand on the sidelines and watch the carnage and cannibalism happen without them.

Just saying of MA 4:55PM February 26, 2009

I agree, by the time Obama's first term is over his approval ratings will be lower than Bush's.Jindal and Palin will both look good in comparison.In fact,Crusty the Clown will look good in comparison
