Hopefully at least than Palin.

Wow. Just Wow. I've been waiting too long for a Republican leader to articulate things the way this guy can.

Thanks for posting KF.

Unbelievable! It's about time! Thanks for going overtime and posting this speech! Americans, it's time to stand up! Why are the leaders asking us to decide? Why aren't we telling the leaders what we want?

Well done KF.

Jindal Palin 2012!!!

Bring us the nation we deserve....ugh.

The fact the Republican (ruined by GW) party put up Jindal or Palin strikes deep in the heart of the failed attempt to hijack the party and harkens back to the days of the Grand Ole Right Wing Fundamental Religious Fanatic take-it-or leave it mentality. I'll continue to be skeptical of all of you.

I do not have posting privileges, but I believe the message here and the subsequent passages are worth a listen.

"I'll continue to be skeptical of all of you". Like we give a shit.

Please go join the other 3 PEOPLE who have commented on the JFP since 1:04 yesterday afternoon. Such a vibrant ideology. Spew your "suspicions" there.

You probably thing the "community organizer lite" is a great president too, don't you?

I'll continue to be skeptical of all of you.

Who cares? You are a nobody.

Keep in mind the Republican Senatorial whatever Committee is opposing this guy and jumped in bed with the Obama-loving Crist from the get-go.

I take it from 7:07 and 8:33 you are in church praying for the Republican Party. You're ruing this country.

Ruining. Sorry.

Your infallible belief in the fanatical principles (Right-wing Religious Right [RRR]) of people like Jindal and Palin (do you actually believe they are the future of the party?) only strengthens my argument made above. I will sit in the MIDDLE and watch the party continue to self-destruct while leaders like Rubio and Ron Paul continue to attract folks like me and 50+% of INDEPENDENTS. Go ahead and hold on to your failed dogma. And in response to your wonderful "who gives a shit" attitude, I don't give a shit about you, your defense of the RRR b/c frankly you are irrelevant inside the political discourse of today. You had your chance and it did not work, be prepared to be marginalized to a failed experiment history. If you feel otherwise, contribute. I'm sure we can have a rich dialogue. Wait, what is that I hear, the flushing of the RRR; its circling, faster, faster, oops there it goes.

I don't give a shit about you ...

Obviously you do. You.are.still.here.

The speech was mostly fluff, although I agree with what he said. However, I'm more interested in the how than the why at this point. Taxes lowered, deficit cut...yes I want those things. But at what expense? That's what I wanted to hear from him. I'm looking for a Ron Pual in a Palin package. Someone who knows what he's talking about but is media savvy and able to communicate that vision. Judging by this speech, Rubio didn't really touch on the 'how'. Although he does present well and tells a good story. Perhaps in time he can grow to be the great hope.

Um, free speech, folks? I feel free speech is important, even if someone disagress with me/you/them/us. We all have the right to disagree without tossing terms about like "who gives a shit what you think". That's abusive and disrespectful and cuts off any chance of discussion or persuasion to change someone's point of view. No sense trying to carry on a dialogue with someone who doesn't give a shit. I can see why the person feels skeptical.

Jindal really disappointed me last year in the fight against Obamacare. He was probably the best-qualified Republican to lead the fight and he was pretty much awol. He wrote a column that appeared in the Washington Post that was disjointed and tepid in its arguments. Giving a bad speech doesn't really bother me because that has nothing to do with making decisions and forming policy but his complete absence was troubling. While we can debate whether the proposed statutory language would've created death panels, the fact remains that Palin took a very public stand while Jindal was sitting on the sidelines. He's been a decent governor and compared to Blanco, Edwards, Roemer, and even Foster that is an improvement but nothing really spectacular.

February 21, 2010 9:20 AM Dude, I've been here longer than you.

And Mr. 9:20 am, if you look at the tossing of stones you criticize, look to your first comments at 7:07 last night. Good day to you sir.

Jindal came off as a joke as the Republican response...I agree with you he has done nothing after being handed a national stage by both the party AND the media. They were doing personal stories about his background that were favorable to his achievements. I like the sound of Rubio, my concern is that corporations will find a way to stifle a true citizens party. The principles of Corpratocracy and the extremely conservative Libertarian principles will not mesh. Then there is the party, the Republican party is so fractionalized that I worry that the Rubio's and Paul's of the world really do not want to be a part of the bickering that went on during the GW years and the now late attempt to re-energize through Palin. It is a difficult position for the Republican Party to be in when the very people you want in your fold are the ones criticizing its missteps.

"You probably think the "community organizer lite" is a great president too, don't you?"

ANSWER THE QUESTION!

February 21, 2010 9:20 AM Dude, I've been here longer than you.

Unless you are Kingfish himself posting anonymously I 100% doubt it. I'm that certain.

And Mr. 9:20 am, if you look at the tossing of stones you criticize, look to your first comments at 7:07 last night. Good day to you sir.

You really ARE ignorant and delusional. That wasn't me.

These anonymous insults are funny; watching people trying to insult someone by criticizing a previous anonymous post, then finding out their current anonymous target didn't post the other anonymous post. It's all like a hall of mirrors, or that scene in Batman Begins when Bruce Wayne fights a group of identical-appearing ninjas. This has been entertaining but I need to do some productive stuff tonight. Enjoy your insults, boys, and remember the words of LBJ: "Never get into a pissing contest with a skunk" ;-)
