That stuff he said about having an eternal perspective…at least in writing, it comes across as being totally genuine. Most of the statements I saw from Palin came across as very “crafted”, or just regurgitated sound bites.

Plus, afaik, Jindal isn’t quite the “arch-conservative” Palin is, as evidenced by his comments on healthcare. If anything, he might be more likely to get “McCain-ed” by the far right wing of the Republican voting public.

I don’t know whether Bobby Jindal is truly a regenerate man or not, but even the Protestant Reformers did not presume that all “papists” were unregenerate. It was the doctrines, not the people, that were necessarily regarded as anti-Christian. If doctrinal purity were necessary for a person to be born again, then I wonder if any of us would qualify.

Let’s not go overboard here. The article says he’s a Roman Catholic. Is he a Marian? a Papist? Our forebears were killed for calling such doctrines anti-Christian. We dishonor them if we ignore heresy for the sake of political expediency.

I don’t care (much) whether a given politician is a believer, but I won’t call him one if he isn’t, no matter how much I might like his opinions.

However, because of policy reasons, Rep. Jindal voted against the CHIP program, despite the need of Louisiana children for health care.

Louisiana has the highest incarceration rates in America, several times higher than states with the lowest rates. Campaigning for Governor, Jindal promised to increase the time that police can hold suspects without charging them to six months. Rather than according poor people dignity, Jindal has exploited the poor to gratify White backlash and fascism.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel, but just how long is the tunnel?

America should understand that Louisiana is one of the few parts of the country that have become more right-wing in the last eight years. The Republican sectors of the population now think like Oklahomans. This is sad, because the people of Louisiana have always been smarter than your average Southerners. But brains provide no immunity, as Bobby Jindal proves.

Although Jindal talks to conservative columnists, he won’t take questions from citizens of Louisiana at open meetings.

Hmmmm. The racist left would have a field day with that. If he ever ran he would be im-Palin’d, but I’d like to see it. This is someone I want to find out more about. Thanks Mickey!
