I guess his principles were more important. Don't see that in politics too often. Shocking isn't it?

Bobby Jindal is a disgrace to the Indian race. I am Indian and every Indian I know is ashamed of this stupid man.

Three words:
Third-World Dictator.

I would say that this puts the final nail in Louisiana's coffin. But that state's been six feet under for quite awhile. I know business people from New York and Mississippi who (or whose companies) tried to do business there, and ended up writing the state off. Too corrupt. Too incompetent. Frankly, I knew better than to try to open an office there, or buy buildings there. Used to love to shop In Covington, Lafayette and Monroe, though. People are much nicer there than in snippy, miserable Mississippi. But that's about all you can say for the place. "Better than Mississippi" means being 49 out of 50.

Louisiana's always been described as a Banana Republic. Laws like these are what you find in places with really, really, low average IQs: Banana Republics.

I think the scene in Angel Heart, showing the fervent stupidity of adherents to the state's two dominant religious sects pretty much illustrates why Louisiana is hopeless (and had no better sense than to elect Bobby Jindal).

What's shocking is believing it's OK to put "his principals" into laws that effect people who may have their own "principals".

I think it is desirable to have principled politicians, you don't. Sadly I think you are in the majority on the left.

I would rather be a ghoul than carry around a child trophy resulting from a rape.

I work with 7 indians; 5 think he's fantastic, the other 2 merely like him.

A "leader" who imposes his personal principles on the people he works for? Hmmm... that's what you yearn for?
