To vote the party line, regardless of the issues or what is at stake. Oh and last but not least... Pretending that you have "family values" while soliciting prostitutes and cheating on your wife. I used to be a Republican, but I see where this party is headed and it's right down the toilet. I don't know what happened, but this is not the Republican party I grew up with. Infiltrated, overthrown, out FOXed, call it what you want. But this party is not conservative any more. These people, including the tea party, are despicable and nothing comes out of their mouths except gibberish. - Ex-Republican Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:10:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11140 resident -- I agree with you, I don't see any difference between Jeff Landry and any other arrogant Republican in Congress over the last 20 years. He says the right things, generally, but I see no specific proposals he'd push to cut spending. I wrote him an email asking how he squares smaller government with using his office to protect the coast, improve education, maintain social security and medicare. How he figures to balance the budget, AND lower taxes, without proposing specific massive cuts to the federal budget....you know, just curious. Just to see. I got nothing back from him. And he has a knack for getting under his opponents' skin? That means he'll get under his CONSTITUENTS' skin, too. I dread the thought of one day having to choose between Jeff Landry and Boustany to represent me in Congress. - ragin_cajun Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:42:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11136 From looking at Landry's website, it seems that he offers divisive, condescending rhetoric and silly cliches but little in the way of substance. I don't see any indication that he would not fall in line with the Republican establishment big government. "tea party crititic" provided one glaring example of farm subsidies that amount to about $40 billion a year. Yeah, the Tea Party of Louisiana is a lackey for the establishment. - Resident Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:35:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11132 tea party crititic I assume you mean the LOCAL tea party, right? I'd agree with you that our local tea party is nothing more than an old guard local republican group, which in turn is nothing more than college democrats who switched party affiliation. - ragin_cajun Thu, 07 Oct 2010 08:51:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11127 Otherwise great artice except for the space provided to Mr. Magar. Sour grapes for sure... - Mr. Judice Thu, 07 Oct 2010 07:28:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11123 the tea party endorsment of Jeff, who supports sugar lobby efforts to continue tariffs and subsidies, or corporate welfare, exemplifies the lack of the tea parties committment to real "free markets" and their confusion over the reality that money in politics is the causes"corruption". Just where do they think that money comes from and why? - tea party crititic Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:47:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11121 Magar is such a sad character - SAD DAD Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:36:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/7045-seeing-red#comment-11080 Where is the enemies list? - PInball Wizard Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:15:36 +0100
