Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal didn’t pull any punches in a post-election critique of his own Republican Party.
In this interview with Politico, Jindal tells the GOP to “stop being the stupid party.”
EXCERPT: “We’ve got to make sure that we are not the party of big business, big banks, big Wall Street bailouts, big corporate loopholes, big anything,” Jindal told POLITICO in a 45-minute telephone interview. “We cannot be, we must not be, the party that simply protects the rich so they get to keep their toys.”
Jindal’s comments are getting a lot of circulation on Facebook, but Democrats and liberals appear to be doing most of the circulating.
Jindal is about to become chairman of the Republican Governors Association, which now includes 30 of the 50 U.S. governors. He is widely mentioned as a potential GOP presidential candidate in 2016. (I know you all are anxious to get the 2016 campaign under way.)
…hard to disagree. Its clear that the demos controlled the agenda and still control the agenda, touting the repubilicans and the boogiemen. Ya Cant win the game only playing defense and that’s where the GOP is right now…
..should be*as* the boogiemen
He’s right. The sooner the GOP tells Rush/Coulter/Beck/etc. they aren’t welcome anymore the better off they’ll be. The problem is that the right wing talking heads have become so powerful they have way too much influence over the party.
Rush, Coulter, Beck?
That ain’t right wing, those leftists.
During his campaign for re-election in 1872, Grant was attacked by Liberal Republican reformers. He called them “narrow-headed men,” their eyes so close together that “they can look out of the same gimlet hole without winking.” The General’s friends in the Republican Party came to be known proudly as “the Old Guard.”
Left, Left, Left Right, Left

The Grand Old Party needs to change it’s middle name.
Perhaps Grand Middle aged Party to start with.

Right-wing extremism rejected, buh bye.
Bobby Jindal’s agenda of privatization of public education, expansion of charter schools, and pursuit of voucher programs makes him part of the “Stupid” party leadership. Seems strange that he calls the rest of the party stupid.
And 50.74%, in favor of 1140, Charter Schools right here Ken?
He’s a good one.

As long as others other than the Jindals remain in control the R’s will remain in decline. Actually they got better than all the way to stupid during the election so the only surprise is that more haven’t called out Romney for his atrociously misdirected campaign.
