Gov. Bobby Jindal filed his annual campaign finance report with the state Ethics Board earlier this month and it details more than $4.7 million worth of contributions that were handed over in 2009. According to the Louisiana Republican Party, more than 73 percent of donors gave $100 or less in 2009.
But in political circles, it’s usually the donors that give the maximum $5,000 per election cycle that get all the attention. For Jindal’s politics, more than 500 businesses and individuals reached that financial peak last year.
There were also a few that barely warrant a mention, but let’s do it anyway: Kenneth Chalmers of Palatine, Ill., and Eli Shefter of San Diego, Calif., each donated a penny to Jindal on Feb. 25 of last year, making them Jindal’s cheapest donors. Coincidentally or not, that was also the day after Jindal’s widely lampooned response to President Barack Obama’s joint address to Congress.

THE CLASSLESS ACTS THESE COUILLIONS DISPLAY IN THE NAME OF POLITICS fills the bill totally of such a classless politico low level, all in their quest for the freedom to bilk the american economy for their personal gain.........
The sad news is that the american voters are caught between a crooked political party and a crooked political party.....the only thing you can be sure of is that they the demo's $ the repo's will never allow another party to ever gain a foothold, and when it has seemed as though this may actually happen...
A third party that is, you find, """ A LA PEROT, a frontman for an existing party.....JINDAL BEHAVES AS A REPO FOOL GUIDED BY THE SAME MONEY AS OUR COUILLION JOEY DUREL.....BOOK THAT.
