Comments on: Illogical reasoning. http://www.jindalisbad.com/illogical-reasoning/ Learn the truth about Bobby Jindal Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:09:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: RTC http://www.jindalisbad.com/illogical-reasoning/#comment-8262 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 02:48:59 +0000 http://www.jindalisbad.com/illogical-reasoning/#comment-8262 I noticed today that one candidate called for full disclosure of HOUSEHOLD income for all elected officials. If Jindal were truly about ethics, he would disclose his wife's income -- after all, she has worked for his entire career in an upper level position for a Baton Rouge chemical company that is a major supplier to the pharmaceutical industry -- even while having two babies and moving to Kenner, where the company has no offices (and they frown on telecommuting). While Jindal has been in Congress, they have purchased stock every quarter in the company and their holdings in this company are now at $250,000. Given that he votes on pharmaceutical issues and takes money from pharmaceutical companies, shouldn't he voluntarally disclose her income -- AND her work arrangements with regard to hours and telecommuting in comparison to others at similar levels at the company? She appears to be an extremely talented woman so if he does not do this, it will only perpetuate the idea that the best way to have a politician on your side is to employ the spouse (where the only legally required disclosure is to say if they make more than $1000 and show stock transactions).

Also NONE of his articles were written while he was in college.

The Louisiana Republicans are as amoral as they are "religious". The same ethics that had them supporting the Federal government's decision to allow their own citizens in New Orleans to die rather than supply assistance soley because they were neither Republican nor white can't expect to have much respect for life or ethics And while the oh-so-moral "christians" supporting Jindal probably aren't aware that he views his Protestant supporters, as well as anyone who doesn't adhere to his warped version of Catholicism, as having "utterly depraved minds". Ethics is wonderful in Louisiana! http://www.jindalonreligion.com/ Following Jilli’s well-thought (and well cut-and-pasted response lifted from hotair.com) position, I’d like to add that I, too, guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

Thank you for the laugh. Jillil: While your response has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread, I am amused by the irony of you posting that in a thread about illogical reasoning.

The Louisiana Democrats are the same bunch that mismanaged the NOLA levees for years and then planned out much of the politicization of Hurricane Katrina before it ever made landfall, calling in Clintonistas like James Lee Watt to help them craft an anti-Bush message. They failed to use the dozens of school buses all over the city, then screamed for buses from the feds. They kept the Red Cross out of New Orleans and then blamed the feds for the lack of supplies for the stranded. They spread rumors of riots and looting, but couldn’t send their ghost police force, many of whom had deserted their jobs, out to maintain law and order. Of all the cynical and corrupt Democrats in the country, the ones in Louisiana are certainly among the most corrupt and that breeds an unhealthy amount of cynicism to go along with it.
