And not to say that I agree or disagree with your take on Jindal, but I was hoping for some meat to the article. What you've put forth is a bunch of conclusions strung together with hopes they will make a point. For instance, your line "[Jindal} will leave office � whether he�s a one-termer or wins a second term � with a state in dire straits." If he gets a second term, then his leaving is six years away! SIX YEARS!! And yet the dye is cast? If you've got a crystal ball, then fine. But if you don't, I would love to hear more facts that lead to that conclusion. Why will education will be worse off? Why will healthcare continue to suffer? Why will the state continue to lose jobs? And what is Jindal doing or failing to do that causes this? He leaves the state for fundraisers? Check. Got it. How again does that weave in? This argument reminds me of my very liberal friends who hated Bush and felt he could do no right. Then they also complained that he took more vacation than any other President. Ok. You don't like what he's doing but you want him there all the time? Am I missing something? I disgress. This is little more than red meat for the people who hate Jindal. You are capable of far better and those readers who are looking for the facts would be far better served by your best. Or even your better. All the best, Soop - Soop Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:57:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4574#comment-1511 Walter Pierce rules! Thanks again for something factual and entertaining!! - rationalist Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:48:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4574#comment-1499 Yea. You hit the nail on the head! Our Governor is lining his pockets, getting drunk with legislators, spending all his time at the duck camp, popping his wrist with rubber bands, crying on national tv, and having affairs and walking deep into the woods to seek remorse. Oh wait. No he's not. Give me a break. Some people wouldn't know a good thing if a clown handed it to them on a grassy hill while the sun was shining. Find a new thing to gripe about. This topic sux. - Rock-band-anyone?

I'll just second what Allen said. It is a wonder we can trust anybody anymore. Actually, Allen, it is no wonder. We simply can not. We, the "grass roots' have to become much more involved in the election process some kind of legal way. I say investigate the ones in there now for their votes against the Constitution. They DID take an oath to it didn't they ? Well, their voting history will define them. Statesman ? Politician ? or Traitor? Either way we need to start holding them accountable. - Southern Man Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:50:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4574#comment-1469 God have mercy on us, we can't trust any body any more. - Allen Brasseaux Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:39:12 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4574#comment-1459 Dear Governor, if you want to be president, make this state a great place and the rest of the country will believe you are capable. In the mean time, would you please do what you were elected to do - run this state - and NOT FROM OTHER STATES! Your disrespect for the people of the state you have sworn to lead is no shining example of what the country could look forward to with you as its leader. - Myrick6 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:11:28 +0100
