The editorial page of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

"...Gov. Jindal has yet to stop the growth of the state bureaucracy, despite much-publicized hiring freezes. In his first 11 months, the state's payroll rose by almost 3,200 jobs to 104,000 workers -- a record. The total cost is $8 billion a year including salary and benefits for state employees and pay supplements for local government workers."

It don't matter; I bet the typical GOP voter doesn't even know where India and Pakistan are. I've actually talked to quite a few of these types of voters and they think Pakistan is in the Middle East.

That growth rate will have every citizen in Louisiana working a patronage job for the Republican Party before long. Governor Long’s dream.

Now over the last months, you have "educated" the rest of us that being born in on American soil isn't enough to be considered a "natural born citizen." So, what say you about this Bobby Jindal 2012 idea? Surely, consistency of argument would clearly indicate that Governor Jindal is not qualified to run for the office of President, what say you?
If what you say is true, (at this point I have no idea), then the bills that are being introduced in several states will force him to prove his eligibility. If he can't, he's out, as it should be.

I am not certain that he is a natural born human.

You think is bad that companies are going to India,
just wait until Jindal becomes president (I'm talking about his policies)
OMG, he's using an "assumed" name! Clearly not eligible.

If a country did not invent the automobile, neither did a company! People did it, no matter who they were!

The absence of certain "experts" on this subject is deafening.
