   How soon after the election will you begin your US Senate campaign? Or has it already started?

2. on 05 May 2007 at 4:08 pm2Tony G

   Like I said before He will not come out into the bare knuckle world. He’s not a man of the people he’s a man of a party. And he’ll vote with that party regardless of the outcome for Louisiana or it’s people.

3. on 05 May 2007 at 6:50 pm3Bob

   Here’s a refresher.

   Months ago Jindal issued a press release where he said he WOULD NOT BEGIN CAMPAIGN ACTIVITY until after the end of the current legislative session. Whoever scheduled this debate surely knew this and scheduled it anyway.

   My guess is that they scheduled this knowing he wouldn’t show up, just so they could trash him about it afterward.

   This is just like the Dems in congress attaching aid to a bill that THEY KNEW Bush would veto because of Iraq, and then complaining about how he doesn’t care about Louisiana.

   It’s so transparent it’s laughable.

4. on 05 May 2007 at 8:28 pm4Tony G

   I saw it. Jindal also says he’s in favor of the working man in LA. His actions prove differently. So what he says and does are two different things. That’s the point.

   If Jindal can’t stand the heat in the kitchen he better stay out of it. The public isn’t as nice as those appearences he makes where he is invited.

5. on 05 May 2007 at 9:00 pm5Sam the Barber

   What is Tony G’s experience ? What has ever done for the people of Louisiana ? What is his education level.

   Has he ever been elected to any office ?

   He never explains how Congressman Bobby Jindal is bad, he never explains how he would do better.

   This refinery Tony G is full of himself, if he was as smart as he wants us to believe, why has his employer Exxon promotered him into a top management job.

   From what I hear he’s not smart enough to run a corner Exxon station.

   No debates are ever held this early in a governor’s race.

   Mu guess is the firs debates wouldn’t be held until August at the earliest.

   If anyone want a debate, go ahead Mr. Jindal doesn’t have to attend.
   Very few of the candidates will attend, especially those that have run for elected office before.

   There will be plenty debates later, that will be covered on statewide television.

7. on 05 May 2007 at 9:31 pm7Ray

   What is this Tony G’s experience ?

   Has he ever been elected to elected office before ?
   If so what ?

8. on 06 May 2007 at 12:59 pm8Tony G

   Sam the hairstylist, you know the answer to all your questions. There is one job between the Plant manager and myself. I am not an Engineer so I’ll never see that position in the XOM system. I have done pretty well for an “uneducated person”. The corner gas station which you reference, although it is part of XOM it is in another division. I believe they are considered Front Line Supervisors. This is not a Tony G for governor website. I plug myself sparingly here as not to make not look like the owner of this site endorses me. If you’re interested I’ll answer all of your questions in detail. Email me at tonyg@tonygforgov.com . I give you that address assuming you’re a responsible voter just researching candidates. I can respect that.

9. on 06 May 2007 at 1:04 pm9Tony G

   Ray, I have been in a leadership capacity for the last twenty years. No I have never been elected to any governmental positions. I was elected to be a Homeowners Association President 12 years ago. I know big deal!

10. on 06 May 2007 at 1:32 pm10Dan Z.

    Bob: The only thing laughable was when Jindal said that he wouldn’t begin his campaign activity until after the Legislative session.

    See, Jindal had a fundraiser last summer. He collected 3 in-kind donations from hotels all around the state to his governors campaign during the 2006 Congressional race. Why would he accept in kind contributions unless he was seriously going to run?

    Everything that Jindal does is a “campaign activity”. When Jindal wrote Blanco a letter the other day and it was made into public news, do you not think that was a campaign stunt?

    When he commented on Breaux and his possibility of running, wasn’t that campaigning?

    When he sends out emails with updates, asks for campaign donations, speaks at places around the state, and otherwise touts himself and his so called “accomplishments”, is that not campaigning?

    So yeah, the only thing that is laughable is the claim that he has not begun campaigning.

11. on 06 May 2007 at 4:13 pm11Ron Chaisson

    Hey Dan Zimmerman my cousin flew Bobby Jindal from Lake Charles to Houma so he could go to his Campaign Meeting in Cut Off, Louisiana!!! So in your damn face you Jindal basher!!!

14. on 06 May 2007 at 7:04 pm14Sam the Barber

    Well Tony leader of the plant floor sweepers,

    Why is it you list your e mail address on here, but not on your website ?

    If Exxon won’t elevte you to plant manager or any high level than you hold now, because your “uneducated person”. Why should be voter of this state for someone with no education to manage its day to day operations. With billions of dollars at stake and thousand of employees to oversee.

    Your just another troll. Instead of trolling here, you should be out driving to one event to another meeting people twelve to fourteen hours a day, meeting people and raising money. Instead you here being a wise ass.

    I copy everyone of your postings, and show this to people who come into my business. This give us a good laugh while we are talking politics of the day.

15. on 06 May 2007 at 10:58 pm15Bob

    Good grief, Sam what’s with this Tony G. bashing? I probably won’t vote for Tony, and I happen to be a Jindal fan, but dude, your stuff is pretty “out there.”

    “Floor sweeper” and “uneducated person” are way below the belt, and frankly I don’t get why the JIB moderator is approving your comments. They take “mean-spirited” to a whole new level.

16. on 06 May 2007 at 11:07 pm16Tony G

    Jindal says he’s for the working man. HR 800 would help the working man. Help them attain better wages or health benefits through organization. He voted against it against the working man and woman of Louisiana. HR 1591 although riddled with attachments would have brought millions of dollars to Louisiana. Bobby Jindal even said he supported the many initiatives in Louisiana. You could have surprised me he voted nay on this Bill also. I was at LSU two weeks ago at a networking meeting for communication students. One student came up to me and ask what can you do as a Governor to help with the interest rate hike on my student loan? My answer was honest and straight forward, something your candidate needs to learn. The interest rate is controlled by the Federal Government. Technically it is out of the State’s hands. However I can lobby the lawmakers to institute and pass a Bill that will give Louisiana college graduates a tax credit on the increased interest paid due to the action of the Federal Government. He was pleased with my answer and ask me why would Congressman Jindal vote for the increase. Party Politics is all I could say. Copy this one for your friends. Anything I said here can you prove where I am wrong. I’ll be waiting for your reply. Me a smartazz, you bet. When it comes to doing what is right I’ll be more rigid than an I-Beam.

17. on 06 May 2007 at 11:09 pm17Tony G

    He doesn’t bother me Bob. When it comes to Jindal supporters he’s about on par. I have been dealing with the likes of him for over a year. I have a tougher hide than an alligator. He’s not a patch on some of the other Jindal supporters.

18. on 06 May 2007 at 11:11 pm18Tony G

    One other thing same, there a heading on my site that says Contact us. That goes to my email. And by the way I have pay pal if you would like to donate.

19. on 07 May 2007 at 7:31 am19Bob

    Dan Z:

    Give me a freakin’ break.

    See, Jindal had a fundraiser last summer. He collected 3 in-kind donations from hotels all around the state to his governors campaign during the 2006 Congressional race. Why would he accept in kind contributions unless he was seriously going to run?

    Wow. An elected official raising money. How dare he!

    Everything that Jindal does is a “campaign activity”. When Jindal wrote Blanco a letter the other day and it was made into public news, do you not think that was a campaign stunt?

    Is he running against Blanco? Nope.

    When he commented on Breaux and his possibility of running, wasn’t that campaigning?

    Was it campaigning when you commented on it? When I commented on it?

    When he sends out emails with updates, asks for campaign donations, speaks at places around the state, and otherwise touts himself and his so called “accomplishments”, is that not campaigning?

    Once again, damn him! How dare he?

20. on 07 May 2007 at 9:06 am20Dan Z.

    Bob: You are absolutely incorrect.

    “Wow. An elected official raising money. How dare he! ”
    Do you know what an “in-kind” donation is?

    “Is he running against Blanco? Nope.”
    It was absolutely a campaign stunt. Even one of the articles that Greg cited on the other thread made it a point to state that Jindal is making a statement even though he committed to keeping his mouth shut until the legislative session was over. So again, another Jindal lie.

    “Was it campaigning when you commented on it? When I commented on it?”
    We are not running for governor.

    “Once again, damn him! How dare he? ”
    He said he wasn’t going to campaign until the end of the legislative session. He is campainging. He is a liar.

21. on 07 May 2007 at 10:28 am21Newman

    Back to the topic at hand…DannyZ et. al…..why should he debate when he’s a shoe in…? My Tigers for Jindal sticker looks pretty sweet. I’m the envy of the WM/Monroe area. Everyone keeps asking “where can I get one” and saying “I’m definately voting for him.”

22. on 07 May 2007 at 2:55 pm22Bob

    DAN Z:

    Let’s say Dan is running for the highest office in Louisiana.

    Dan discovers that the sitting governor’s program is about to come up short by a few billion or so.

    Dan thinks “Well, golly geez it would sure be good for the people of Louisiana to know about this critical issue. But hey, I promised not to campaign until after the session, so I guess I’d better just let those folks persist in the belief that there’s plenty of money when in fact there isn’t enough.”

    Is that what Dan would do?

23. on 07 May 2007 at 3:08 pm23Dan Z.

    Dan wouldn’t have lied and said “I will not kick off my campaign until the summer”.

    Dan would have also worked in Congress to make sure that Louisiana had all the federal funding it needed.

    Of course, the more Blanco fails the better it is for Jindal because his supporters are all going to say “we should have elected him” (even though there is absolutely no reason to believe that he would have done any better). So Jindal will continue to be all talk and no action, while the people in Louisiana suffer.

    Hopefully, one of the candidates who will be able to spend millions of dollars will be able to make sure that Jindal gets his fair share of the blame for his actions (or lack thereof) in Congress.

    I want to know what is Jindalisbad & Dan Zimmerman ’s big problem here with this AD that reads JESUS DIDN’T EXIST? Dan for one thing you should believe in Jesus Christ because you are Jewish bigtime and Jindalisbad you should be ashamed of yourself for even putting this on your website. How do you two guys think you got down here on Earth huh?

25. on 07 May 2007 at 7:27 pm25Earl

    DAN Z:

    “Hypocrite” and “liar” are two elastic terms indeed.

26. on 07 May 2007 at 9:55 pm26Katrinacrat

    “As Governor, how many people will you give a break from the death penalty which seems to be in direct violation of your pro-life stance?” and “Do you view water boarding to be torture, and against the teachings of Jesus Christ?” That would serve as a start.

27. on 08 May 2007 at 9:17 am27Newman

    How is executing convicted murders the same as killing innocent babies? The two different at extreme levels. One made decisions throughout his life that he both could control and redirect. The other was just conceived and before being able to have a thought process or breathe, he is snuffed out because some unfit human being thinks she can’t care for him…I don’t see the similarities.

    One is punishment, the other is murder.

28. on 08 May 2007 at 1:19 pm28Dan Z.

    Ron: As a Jew I do not accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. And according to the Catholic Church, I am not required to. In order for God to be perfect, Jews would not be required to accept Jesus Christ. Why? Because his eternal covenant with the Jews is just that, eternal.

    So if you don’t beleive that Jews are good by practicing Judaism, then you deny Gods perfection.

    And as to the ad. I have no control over the advertising on this site and I am pretty sure that Jindalisbad has no control over it either. Seems to me that the ads are by google. So if you have a problem with it, go talk to google.

29. on 08 May 2007 at 3:56 pm29Tony G

    Newman, I do not advocate abortion as birth control. To outlaw it completely on the other hand is just as wrong. There are certain instance it may be not only medically the prudent thing to do but morally. Do you want to father a child of a rape. Your wife or girlfriend is raped. You want to put her through the agony of living it for nine months physically and the mental anguish that will last forever? You really want to see where your politicians stand on abortion. Lobby to have the unborn fetus counted as a tax deduction just as your other children. You see them sing a different tune. IT’s a touchy subject for sure. I believe it is one every person will stand before God and atone for. Our time on this planet is short. Eternity is forever.

    HEY WHAT IS EVERYONE HEARING OR SHOULD I SAY WHAT IS BOBBY’S PLAN FOR THE CHARITY HOSPITAL SYSTEM STATEWIDE. I’VE HEARD SOME RUMORS AND JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS FOR SURE WHAT HIS STANCE IS.

31. on 09 May 2007 at 2:24 pm31Fostercisgood

    One Question For Jindal in a Debate-
    “Mr. Jindal, given the nature of your divisive and controversial campaign for governor, will you truly be a governor for all of the people in Lousiana, or will you continue to pattern yourself after the president, and only represent the most wealthy citizens of the state?”

    Another question-
    Up unitl this moment in your life you have consistently taken the safe path that others have chosen for you. Since you do not have a record of making tough decisions, how can the people of Louisiana trust you to make the hard and sometimes unpopular leadership decisions that are necessary to transform our state into a cultural, economic, and environmental beacon?

    Answering questions is Jindal’s greatest weakness. He has a snarky, know-it-all attitude and comes off giving people the impression he couldn’t wait to cut them off and return to his talking points.

32. on 09 May 2007 at 2:32 pm32FP

    OK watchdogs and insiders,

    What is the connection between Jindal the Repuclicons and this story: Jeb Bush to Become Directory of Tenet Healthcare and Will Earn 37K Per Day. Tenet Healthcare Recently Paid 900 Million to Settle Charges of Medicare Fraud.

    http://www.thestreet.com/_tsccom/funds/followmoney/10355637.html

    I know there is something to this! I can smell it. When jindal shut down all the services, who got the business? Who got all the money? Something is fishy with this!!!!

33. on 09 May 2007 at 10:17 pm33Tony G

    Fosterisgood, those are excellent questions.

34. on 10 May 2007 at 5:37 am34Fostercisgood

    Thanks Tony G. Fundamentally, Jindal is an extremely weak candidate with no natural constituency in our state other than those who hold the most extreme religious views. If he were not propped up with Mike Foster’s money and political apparatus, he would be nothing more than an interesting footnote on the same level as a Tony Perkins. I am amazed that the well-experienced political operatives like Mr. Kennedy have not diced-and-sliced Jindal into yesterday’s dog food by now…

35. on 10 May 2007 at 12:26 pm35Tony G

    The Democrats announced last week they going to expose Jindal for what he really is and the public is going to be shocked!

36. on 10 May 2007 at 12:44 pm36Dan Z.

    Well, the public should be shocked about everything that is already public. I wonder what else they have on him.

37. on 10 May 2007 at 8:34 pm37Anton Bodon

    actually, he calls the local morning radio show about once a week, been thru the area a couple of times. He also call the Moon Griffon show also. He appears to be very sharp, articulate, and intelligent. I don’t think anyone could debate him. I am with you guys he is too smart for this state. Less government, cut those state workers, and save some tax money. Hell we have a 29 billion budget now! I had to buy two tires this year because of blanco’s road program, sorry that wasn’t a road program but a road home program. I wish the government would have paid me to leave this state oh well, maybe Edward’s will get a pardon from bush, we can only hope, my freezer is running low…

    …black jack is not gambling, woman!, how many times I have to tell you that?…

38. on 10 May 2007 at 9:18 pm38fp

    Some people say that Jindal has a secret un-American agenda.
    What do you say to that?

    Check this video out: http://houston911truth.org/2007/05/09/why-myspace-fox-and-other-news-channels-censor-ron-paul-the-truth/

39. on 10 May 2007 at 10:09 pm39Dan Z.

    He may appear to be all those things. He may actually be all those things as well. That doesn’t make him qualified to be our next governor.

    I could have debated him. I was looking forward to it when I ran against him in 2004. Unfortunately he avoids debate like the plague. We need a governor with a spine, not one that ducks debate and wont defend his stances.

40. on 10 May 2007 at 11:57 pm40Tony G

    If he shows Saturday Dan you’ll get to ask him a question.

41. on 11 May 2007 at 7:25 am41Dan Z.

    That is a big if Tony.

42. on 11 May 2007 at 4:42 pm42Tony G

    It was reported this morning all nine candidates have confirmed to attend. I know who eight are but number 9 is a mystery to me.

43. on 12 May 2007 at 8:31 am43Anton Bodon

    Dan Z, you are hilarious.

    Dan Z says; “He may appear to be all those things. He may actually be all those things as well. That doesn’t make him qualified to be our next governor.”

    I guess having a coach as a spouse and having the support of Odom qualified Blanco?

    Dan Z says; “We need a governor with a spine, not one that ducks debate and wont defend his stances.”

    Dan and I agree, and that is why Blanco is not running, she has no spine, she ducks debate, and she doesn’t defend her stances.

    How embarrassing is this from the gov, “this proves that Louisiana can compete for business, (with those poor states)”.

    …black jack is not gambling, woman! how many times I have to tell you that?…

44. on 12 May 2007 at 8:53 am44Anton Bodon

    i guess i should have read these from the beginning, sorry. here is a good quote,

    “However I can lobby the lawmakers to institute and pass a Bill that will give Louisiana college graduates a tax credit on the increased interest paid due to the action of the Federal Government.”

    when I file my federal taxes I already get a tax break for interst paid on my student loans. I guess I need some welfare, and would like to get a credit for more than I paid. for example last year I paid about $5000 in interest but I would like get a break of lets say $7500….

    …black jack is not gambling, woman! how many times I have to tell you that?…

45. on 12 May 2007 at 3:53 pm45Tony G

    I’m talking about an additional tax break on the state Income Tax Anton. If you need welfare go and apply. The bottom line here is that it will cost a student what , hundred dollars more a year? That’s pennies. It’s a matter of principle. Government is to help people not burden them. Am I in favor of hand outs, NO. If you can work you better. There’s plenty work out there for well abled people.

46. on 12 May 2007 at 4:20 pm46Dan Z.

    Anton: “Dan Z says; “He may appear to be all those things. He may actually be all those things as well. That doesn’t make him qualified to be our next governor.”

    I guess having a coach as a spouse and having the support of Odom qualified Blanco? ”

    I never said it did, did I? And who is the amusing one?

    “Dan and I agree, and that is why Blanco is not running, she has no spine, she ducks debate, and she doesn’t defend her stances. ”

    And neither does Jindal.
    “How embarrassing is this from the gov, “this proves that Louisiana can compete for business, (with those poor states)”. ”
    So, why is that important in the Jindal candidacy? She is not running. She is not running. Blanco is not running!

47. on 12 May 2007 at 10:29 pm47Anton Bodon

    you are right blanco is not running. however, I looked at some voting records and I know why you guys are supporting Jindal in this race here are a few of my favorites that he voted yes on;

    Dan Z nails it. Jindal a no show. Direspects Crimefighters Organization with a membership that totals over 11,000 members. Not a smooth move. If he’s that far out in front this should have been a cake walk for him and sealed the deal. We know the truth as well as he. In that aspect we’re on the same page.

50. on 13 May 2007 at 2:12 am50Josh

    I’ve been a strong supporter of Bobby Jindal from the days of his first gubernatorial campaign, but his ‘08 campagin continues to surprise and disillusion me. At the time of the first campaign I was a board member of a fairly prominent republican group - we tried for weeks to arrange for Jindal to come and speak to no avail. So when he lost it didn’t surprise me because the reasons were obvious. He DOESN’T do enough debates, he doesn’t do ’small’ group events (at least not free ones), and he discounts the ’second tier’ candidates - which I have a feeling will pull even more of his votes now, especially with the likes of John Georges, who at this point has more campaign funds than any candidate, and are OUT IN THE PUBLIC ARENA articulating their ideas.

    As a Jindal supporter it saddens and angers me to once again see the campaign throw away a perfectly good opportunity to debate the facts - would a FEW HOURS on ONE Saturday night really kill Bobby!? Last I checked the legislature isn’t in session on Saturdays, so the press release stating he isn’t doing any debates until after the legislative session is irrelevant. If the campaign continues on this pitiful path to defeat I will take my vote and my influence of others vote to a more capable, public friendly candidate! It amazes me that the campaign has the time to do speaking engagements and fund raisers, but not the time to take such an important civic event more seriously!

51. on 13 May 2007 at 10:26 am51Anton Bodon

    Tony G’s official response to Jindal supporters who claim he is jealous of the Congressman because he is successful;

    Who am I jealous of? Tell me I’m all eyes. I’m merely pointing out the truth.
    Jindal is a smart man. There’s no arguement there. He speaks well, and plays the part. It’s about substance and truth. You people are so blind to it it’s pathetic. Placing brilliant people in power will do little if they are not honest. Half truths, rhetoric, and spin has us where we are today. There’s alot to be said about the state when you practically offer to build a steel mill for a company and they still don’t want to come here. Successful people? Everyone in that debate was more successful. They got where they are on their own. Make it even better they owe no one nothing. You can’t say that about your candidate. You’re a partisan politcal zombie. You care nothing about this state. You only want your Republican candidate to win. Open your eyes and see what partisan politics has not only done to our state but our country as well. You folks can say all you want about me, I’m in this for the right reason. I’m in this for what’s right for this state not any politcal party or it’s members.

    It looks like someone is benefited by creating this website. Number of hits and all.. has to do something with that! whoever created this has not created intending to campaign against Jindal. It is to GAIN PERSONAL benefits. Smart work dude!

    Well, as Tony pointed out, I was correct. Jindal was a no show. The ABC 26 report had reported that Jindal refused this debate weeks ago because of “other commitments”. However, the statement in the Times Picayune from the President of the Crimefighters Association, seems to rebuke that report.

    http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/excluded-0/1177709412124390.xml&coll=1&thispage=2

    “[Jindal] has yet to confirm he will attend, Magri said. “But we expect him to come,” he said”.

    Note, he didnt say that Jindal had other commitments. He said that they expect him to come and has yet to confirm. This story ran on April 28th, two weeks before the debate.

    So here is a contradiction. Two weeks before the debate, the president of this organization stated that they expect Jindal to come but he hasn’t committed to coming yet. Jindal’s campaign stated that they refused “weeks” ago. So who do you believe?

    I am more likely to believe a retired law enforcement officer and concerned citizen who was putting on the debate over the Jindal campaign who looks like he just wants to save face.

    Jindal supporters, why do you think I should believe Jindal’s statement about having declined the offer for the debate “weeks ago” when exactly two weeks before the newscast, the president of the group putting it on said that he expects Jindal to come?

    Jindal has proven one more time that he has no spine.

    On that note, check out this new t-shirt from the Jindal Is Bad store.

    Show everyone that Jindal, because he hasn’t attended a public debate since the 1st Congressional debate in the 2004 election (September 2004), that he lacks a spine because he is unwilling to defend his record in a public debate. Perhaps it is because he is unable to? You decide.

    State Representative Warren Triche Never Met a Taxpayer Dollar He Didn’t Want to Spend

    Thank goodness for term limits. While both Democrats and Republicans agree there is a need this session for tax cuts, State Rep. Warren Triche has introduced two bills this session intended to soak the taxpayers for added millions. His pet food tax is aimed squarely at middle class Louisiana families by charging a $.01/lb tax on pet food. He further shows his animosity towards man’s best friend and the taxpayers of the state by introducing HB 186, or his law to imprison convicted felons who have or live with “dangerous dogs”. This legislation will be headed straight to the courts if passed. If it somehow manges to become law after years of costly litigation, it will in effect become a whirlpool of debt for local communities and law enforcement. And we all know who foots that bill…Still, you have to give it to one of the last holdouts of the good ol’ boy Louisiana dems; without a single incident of a convicted felon killing another person with a dog, he has managed to find a way to raise taxes at a time when almost everyone agrees that the tax burden on Louisiana families is excessive and needs to be reduced.

    I am thankful of sights like this. They are very important part of Democracy. Go to any other state that has a lot of watchdog groups and real investigative journalists and you will see that the public dialog is about the issues. These are the facts the public forgets to discuss when the spin is put into the local rags!!!

    If Jindal had prior commentments he should say what they were.

    This is NOT a watchtdog group site. This is bunch of Chiwawas with no bite, just yapping their silly asses off. A bunch of old Chiwawas with lots yapping and NO teeth.

    It’s like the mail man coming down the street, one dog starts barking and all the dogs bark. They don’t know what they’re barking at, but they are all barking anyway.

    After a while the people that live on that street don’t ever bother to look out the door.

    Your the same old disgruntle, whiners who are never happy. You are unhappy, greedy know-it alls that has never acheived any success in your misserable lives.

    Your the same selfish people that never acheived great pleasure in your bedrooms. But still you bitchand wonder why.

    Since when does Jindal, Boaso, Campbell or John owe it to you, to tell you what his commentments are ?

    Non of the candidate owe it to a group of vigalantees (KKK types) with their chiwawas, to meet them in a motel room on a Saturday night.

    And you know what ? The rest of Louisiana could care less. This generated little to no press coverage except for the freaks at a N P R Station, with low listenership especially on a Saturday night.

    Amazing stuff, you people are upset that Jindal didn’t attend a debate? When somebody is as far ahead in the polls as Jindal is, they don’t do debates.

    Has anybody even complained that Walter Boasso backed out of the debates at the last minute. Wasn’t the debates his idea to begin with?

    And if Boasso, by some miracle wins, will he back out of becoming the next governor at the last minute as well?

    If I were going to vote for somebody other than Bobby, I’d be worried about getting my candidate as much support as possible right now, and quit worrying about Bobby.

    1. Watchdog, not “wachtdog”
    2. Chihuaha, not “chiwawa”
    3. ..with lots of yapping, not “lots yapping”
    4. You’re the same old disgruntled, not “Your the same old disgruntle”. Also, a comma is not necessary after disgruntle.
    5. know-it-alls that have never achieved, instead of “know-it-alls that has never acheived”
    6. miserable, not “misserable”

    Jilil, it would help your argument immensely if you used proper grammar and refrained from personal attacks against those whom you do not know personally. However, I believe that you are a perfect example of the level of education we should expect from the citizens of this state under a Governor Jindal. Your buffoonery is also symbolic of the responses the public receives from the Jindal campaign when questioned about his policy agendas for the state.

    Today’s article in the Times Picayune about the ATF sting on Elliot’s firearms reflects very badly on Mr. Jindal, who voted for the Firearms Manufacturers Protection Bill. This bill extends civil liability protections to distributors of firearms if those weapons are used in a crime. Nothing I’ve read so far indicates that those protections are suspended if you sold the firearm illegally–it’s just blanket protection. As it appears from the facts in the article, Elliot’s sold many firearms illegally through “straw sales” & signature and document forgeries. If a loved one was killed as a result of these types of sales–which exist to provide weapons to criminals–you can’t sue Elliot’s for damages. Mr. Jindal voted to provide Elliot’s with that very exclusive protection which in turn helps encourage and facilitate the black market surplus of guns. One would think that a Republican so vocal in expressing support for law enforcement would put his money where his mouth is and actually support enforcing incentive-creating restrictions that encourage gun dealers to operate in strict accordance with the law. Jindal: pro-business even at the expense of law enforcement. What a stand-up, bright fellow.

    Boy is that weak on your part.

    How many other members of congress from Louisiana and other states voted for the Firearms Manufacturers Protection Bill ?

    I happy to agree with the bill.

    The U.S. House of Representatives Thursday passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act by a vote of 283 to 144.
