Bobby Jindal Is Bad!

While reading through my daily news today I came upon a quote from Riley Hagen at the Shreveport Times:

The answer is not to elect politicians who could perhaps trade bad votes in Baton Rouge yesterday for pork in Shreveport today; the answer is to elect more capable and ethical people at every level of government. When Bobby Jindal is elected governor, a significant step will be made in the right direction, but that is a column for another day.

First of all lets not even think about the title of this post yet but rather the quote, “When Bobby Jindal is elected governor..” the man isn’t even running for governor right now and when he did he lost the vote from the public. But I digress.

The question at hand is “Is Jindal Capable and Ethical?”. I suppose you could say he is capable, capable of making bad voting choices as I have shown throughout this website/blog but I assume she is talking about “capable” in the better light. Now of course he has made some good choices but it would seem to me on the really important issues Mr. Jindal has been leaning way on the right side on conservatism.

Now is the man Ethical? I would consider him an ethical person, I doubt some of the democrats would consider Mr. Jindal an ethical person as they point out some of his un-ethical stances on a few issues. Here is a snipit from a local candidates page. Source
