"A U.S. district judge rejected Monday the Louisiana state government's request that MoveOn.org's billboard criticizing Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) for not expanding Medicaid under Obamacare be taken down. The billboard includes a parody of the state's tourism slogan, which was the basis for the state's legal action.
U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick issued the order. Lawyers for Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne (R), who filed the suit, had "not demonstrated a substantial likelihood of prevailing on its burden of proving confusion by viewers of the billboard," Dick wrote. She rejected the state's request for a preliminary injunction, which asked that the billboard be taken down as the court case continues."
good lord...this is the action of a Republican? One of those less government, non fascist types? Oh right....except when you disagree and want free speech for what you want to say.....
So, big government is okay if it helps the GOP oppress free speech?
If the billboard owner and person who pays for it are okay with the content there is no reason it should be taken down. As long as it doesn't promote violence.
Jindal is supposed to some sort of policy wonk on health care and he has come out with the new Jindal Care yet 20% of Louisiana doesnt have any health care. Jindal Care was so vague that no one knows whats in it. He talks about empowering states to control health care costs. Whats that mean? It almost sounds like government take over of health care at the state level..Ya gotta love the Tea Party types. Government control is ok...just as long as its at the state level.
I imagine some of them pay for their government.....
Are you sure about that? Chances are if you "qualify for Medicaid" you aren't paying federal taxes which is where the money is coming from for Medicaid expansion.
Any irony in lefties criticizing Jindle saying he should want small government, while criticizing him for not exapnding ACA, which of course is big government?

yes, yes there is..
How is it big government ?
Also, calling it irony is a misleading notion. As you would say, we Democrats believe in big government, however Jindal doesnt. So he is the hypocrite, we are just asking he stick to his own principles.
