Last week, Louisiana’s poor and terminally ill residents won a surprising victory when Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) announced that his state would not stop providing hospice care

"I live in Louisiana and believe me, I'm not interested in Bobby Jindal's 'speech'. His entire agenda is to keep people here stupid, because only the uninformed would vote for him...He's a liar, no different than Mitt Romney."

^ from the comment section of one of the linked pages. the last article, on jindal's speech.

the first sentence caught my attention. i was thinking that, but couldn't word it eloquently...
i feel like it would be satisfying to drop kick this guy.

Shit like this is why my home state is at the bottom of the national everything.

What's scary is that the Republican Party really likes Jindal and there was talk a few years ago of him running for a higher office. Can you imagine if he were a Congressman? Or a Senator?

I just can't with this shit.

The media seems to have some sort of love affair with him as well, IMO, remember all the praise he received last week week for admitting that the GOP is the stupid party? People actually fall for his sucking-up.

Tag suggestions??

Thank you! Fuck you! comes to mind.

I'd really like to see how "costly" these programs are. And how costly it's going to be to not have them.

The cost is people will die. Babies, amd people with HIV especially. And thousands of other babies and children will have poorer quality of life.

I have no curse words severe enough.

"The cost is people will die."

You say that like Jindal and his gang don't know that. Or that they would care. As long as it's the right people who die. You know, the ones who won't vote for them.

And isn't he supposedly "pro-life" too?
