From wikipedia:
In 2007, Jindal led the Louisiana delegation in Congressional earmark funding. According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, in 2007, Jindal's earmark funding was 14th among all Congressmen. As Governor in 2008, Jindal used his line item veto to strike $16 million in earmarks from the state budget while allowing $30 million in legislator added spending.
Then there's the matter of Jindal's Uber-Religious Right stance on a great many issues as well as his being a straight-line Bush Republican:
(culled from wikipedia):
Jindal has a 100% pro-life voting record according to the National Right to Life Committee.
He opposes embryonic stem cell research and voted against increasing federal funding to expand embryonic stem cell lines.
Jindal opposes the legalization of same-sex marriage, and has voted for the Federal Marriage Amendment to restrict marriage to a union between one man and one woman.
In December 2008, Jindal announced the formation of the Louisiana Commission on Marriage and Family, including Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, Gene Mills, the executive director of the Louisiana Family Forum and Mike Johnson, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund (Pat Robertson's personal league of lawyers)
Dan Gilgoff, U.S. News & World Report:
Religious conservatism in the GOP ain't dead. Far from it. The real story is that it has been reborn in younger, more sophisticated, and less divisive politicians like Jindal.
And for everyone else:
Jindal voted yes on making the PATRIOT Act permanent.
He voted in favor of the 2006 Military Commissions Act.
Jindal has an "A" rating from Gun Owners of America.
For the next four years, we'll be hearing the recriminations of Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, James Dobson, televangelists and...Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Yep, it certainly will be the era of DEPRESSION. (Buy stock in anti-depressant-producing pharmaceutical companies)
Just a thought.
