Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal Crushes Competition to Win Re-Election

Bobby Jindal Wins Re Election

(AP) Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Saturday easily coasted to a second term, winning in a landslide election after failing to attract any well-known or deep-pocketed opposition.

The 40-year-old Republican overwhelmed nine competitors in the open primary, where a candidate wins the race outright if he or she receives more than 50 percent of the vote.

“I will use every day, every hour of these next four years to make Louisiana the very best that we can be. I don’t believe in resting on our past accomplishments. I don’t believe in taking time off,” Jindal told a packed hotel ballroom of supporters in Baton Rouge.

Jindal piled up $15 million in campaign cash from around the nation and attracted no Democratic challengers with statewide name recognition or fundraising heft. He’s had consistently high approval ratings since taking office in 2008.

Bobby Jindal Wins Re Election

His win comes amid the virtual collapse of the Democratic Party’s clout in the state. In the current term, Republicans have gained control of all seven statewide elected posts and both chambers of the legislature.

The first Indian-American governor in the United States, Jindal is considered by some a possible presidential contender in the future. He recently published a book and regularly appears on national news shows, but he ruled out a 2012 run.

Still, his brand of conservatism and refusal to raise taxes has resonated outside the state.

Bobby Jindal Wins Re Election

The race that received more attention in Louisiana was the one for lieutenant governor, because the officeholder is next in line should Jindal step down because of his national political ambitions.

Incumbent Jay Dardenne, who took office after a special election last year, faces off against Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser. Like Jindal, Nungesser was a vocal critic of the federal response to the massive Gulf oil spill.

    What a comparison between the people of Louisiana and those of Nevada.
    One elected a solid citizen to run their state and to get/keep them on solid footing. He is earning a shot at a bigger job in our country.
    The other decided to reelect Dingy Harry Reid to a position as a Senator from their state and as the leader of the Senate. What a terrible embarrassment! They have demoted themselves to rank with California ( and I do mean RANK) in political judgement.

      JIndal is a great candidate. And now a great governor for a second term.

      He had a great interview on Sean Hannity’s show talking about the Louisiana economy. ( http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2011/oct/hannity_jindal_reelection.html ) This is why he won. No question. Their economy is growing and will grow more if Obama gets out of the way. Jindal is right on that.

      I was born in LA but live in CA now. I disagree that 75% of the state are idiots. I really think it is mainly the San Fran bay area and Los Angeles. If you take those areas out of CA, the rest of the state is pretty conservative. I propose we make it North California and South California; we split the middle with North California taking the eastern half of the middle and South California taking the western coast on the middle all the way up to and including the bay area. That way North California would then be perfect. How can I talk someone into proposing that one?

      I don’t think 75% of the people are idiots, but if you live near LA, SF, or the coast that’s what you might see. However, too many CA conservative have been asleep and allowed their rights and voices to be taken away. I expect we will begin to see that turn around. I think the sleeping beast is finally beginning to awake.

The best part about working in California is when I get my pink slip to come home to Louisiana. The weather is great in California and that is the hi-light in the State of California. It is overflowing Gangs, Ilegals, Leftist Loons, Hollywood Liberals. It would do the USA good to cut a deal with Mexico and hand the state of California over to the Mexicans, Hollywood included.

      A couple of you from California have responded so far to TEXANPATRIOT. Just a reminder when discussing those cities which are anything but conservative (i.e. L.A., SanFrancisco, etc.) — there are also those thirteen southernmost counties (bordering Arizona and Mexico) who are pursuing cessation from the State of California. I don’t believe the purpose of their cessation is to become more patriotic to the U.S. and more conservative. (Note: Arizona’s Pima County, which borders Mexico, is likewise pursuing cessation from the State of Arizona.)

      Eurasia is well aware of the opportunity in having a state such as California on the Pacific Coast. Mexico and its citizens also take advantage of U.S. federal officials’ ineffectual control of illegal immigration.

      The U.S. Census Bureau has its Quick Facts website updated to include 2010 population statistics. You need to be taking a close comparative look at 2000 and 2010 figures on the Quick Facts site for your cities,counties, and states. Here’s the link: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/04000.html

Louisiana is my home state, moved to California as a young child, but with God’s mercy I was able to move to another state, but my wish someday is to move to Texas, a place I learned to love when visiting my grandpa on his farm. He taught me to hunt, fish, shoot a gun, listen to dogs chase whatever they were allowed to chase.

      California was wonderful years ago, but on occasional visits, I‘m sad and angry to see what it’s become. I thank God for letting my family move away before it collapsed on itself.

      If you ever want your voices heard you need to support representatives that would agree to your Electorate Votes being distributed by representation of the people, “Winner Takes All”, has got to go. California is cheating other states due to its 55 Electorates going to one candidate, you will never achieve equal representation of your people with this system in place. All states that give every electorate vote to one candidate is corrupting the system, and has turned our voting system into a popular vote. Get to know the Electorate System and why it was used.

      As a Nevadan, I can tell you that virtually no one here supported HR. Very “strange” things happened during the election, to wit, a massive power failure at major polling places in Clark County (Las Vegas area). SEIU members were somehow on hand to “help”, and when power resumed, all of a sudden HR had a commanding lead. Although we can’t individually prove what happened, it is common knowledge . . . and commonly talked about withint he state how HR literally stole the election.

      Reminds me of another person who is opinionated & is gay. He collects SSI. He works on creative projects, he says the ladies love him (he must be bi) & he looks healthy from the picture posted. I just cannot figure out how the guy could be handicapped so that he needs SSI unless he is paraplegic. IMHO he is scamming the system giving him time to posts on blogs & be creative from Hawaii. JZS’s eyes do look pretty bad. Can’t tell if that is normal or if that is hollowed eyed from disease. Probably why he is so sarcastic & bitter.

That is about the 3 rd time I have seen that phrase used by JZS. I have seen them grow the budget & people tell them the programs were unsustainable but they refused to listen, & now they have to roll back the programs & they are still loathe to do so completely. The large metropolitan areas are crony capitalist run by Democrats & very few of them go to jail. So I think the vampire analogy is apt.

      2 – worthless parasites
      3 – rotting flesh eating virus-
      4 – mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore

      I see nothing wrong with 1, 2, 3 or 4

      1. I see examples like nephews of big city mayors (Chicago) getting contracts that are suppose to be transparent. The mayor leaves the city after 20 years broke. Too many congress people get rich as the country sinks into poverty (example Pelosi – net worth up 60% last year & Harry Reid).

      2 & 3. There was the story of the man child getting SSI. Lifetime disability payments are going, but the OSHA stats are going down

      I didn’t see any swear words with exception maybe he11. Note that that the word was not flagged by the programs looking for such words. Also calling someone “like vampires” is harsh. but if he provided 3 or so examples I see nothing harsh about it.

      Eshaw had a point about the vampire image. He was right. It resonated with me. It described my state exactly. They just raised income taxes by 67% here (Not marginal rates but the whole thing). As soon as we retire, we are out of here.
      So when JZS dumped on Eshaw for accurately describing the affairs, I dumped on him. I really think he is on SSI. He would not be so glib if his income taxes were raised 67%. JZS cannot prove that he is not on SSI some sort of disability.

      Ron Paul will be president when unicorns start pulling magic pumpkin carts as public transportation.

      I wish everyone would have watched Congressman Doctor Paul’s speech last night on C-Span, it was awesome. You people don’t understand until you listen to him more than a 3 minute byte at a debate with umpteen other candidates. Just sit back and listen to his love of the Constitution. Not his love of trying to change this unconstitutional bunch of chaos that all the others want to work with. Get rid of everything and start over.

      Why do Ronulans seem possessed of the notion that if we don‘t like Ron Paul it’s because we haven’t heard the man speak? I’ve heard several speeches, in- depth interviews, and so on. And I have to tell you, the more I hear him, the crazier he sounds. He would be better off if all he ever delivered was 3 minute sound bytes. Becuase when he delivers longer speeches, he always seems to step in it. Yes, he’s quite good on the economy. Unfortunately, he’s somewhere between wrong and slap-@ssed crazy on everything else. And what Paul supporters never seem to understand or choose to ignore is that Ron Paul is not much different than any other career politician, voting for things he knows will never pass to give himself political cover. As they say in Texas, when you give him a good look, there isn’t a lot of “there” there. Of course, you’ll just dismiss me as being uninformed and ”not getting it”, because that’s what Paul supporters do, but that’s okay. Just knowing he’ll never be president is good enough for me.

      I can’t support an isolationist that gives the the same antisemitic sermon as Rev Wright. “Americas chickens have come home to roost.”
      Ron Paul would sacrifice our Liberty in order to appease the Muslims. Ron Paul wants throw Israel under the bus. Does he think that will appease the Muslims? All that would do is empower that Satanic Cult and put us on Gods’ shiite list.
      He would make a great accountant, but you can’t put an appeaser in the White House.

      Ron Paul’s biggest problem—-”I think Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.”

      Next—“Drugs should be legalized”

      NEWS ADDITION.
      Not only CIA, bankers, monopolies, socialists and affirmative-action recipients are scared of Ron Paul. False conservatives, neo-cons, have also joined in.
      These neo-cons wrongly assume that cutting financial aid to ALL countries (including Israel) will make Israel weaker or make Ron Paul somehow an anti-Semite. These elderly NOBODIES somehow assume they are true patriots and true conservatives even though they have no understanding of and respect for the constitution, liberty and economics.
      They old enough to understand that they wont enjoy Liberty and free-market prosperity (they will fade away by then), and they would deny that opportunity to the young generation as long as they THINK Israel has been “covered” (even though Israeli youth is half gay and half socialist ready to give away their land.)

      So, if you oppose Ron Paul, you’re a “false conservative” or “neo-con?” This is why most folks are so fed up with Ron Paul-not so much him, nut his delusional supporters. Please, get a grip. Alinsky-izing your opponents (identify, freeze, isolate, ridicule, marginalize) does not become you. You guys sound more like Obamabots every day. Every time someone points out a serious flaw in Ron Paul’s ideology, and quotes him directly, you guys respond with a “you just don’t get it” and assume the role of the persecuted and misunderstood prophet.Here’s an idea: try explain the crazy things Dr Paul has said. If you can convince enough “false conservatives” that Iran ought to have nukes and Israel should fend for itself, well, then maybe he deserves to win.

      @FormerLib, let me restate for you.
      1) If not for Bush/Obama pressure, Israel would had taken out the Iranian plant back in 2009. Israel need permission because they have to fly over Iraq. US does not want that because USA plays both Israel and Arabs alike for the sake of its empire – vassals should be kept weak and dependable.
      2) If not for US pressure, Israel would be still in control of Suez and Sinai.
      3) Ron Paul was one of few politicians who defended Israel‘s bombing of Iraqi nuclear reactor in 80’s when USA government officially objected (because USA was arming its new secret friends at the time – Saddam and bin Laden.) Think about that!
      4) In 2007 when both progressives and neo-cons were salivating about Bush’s Road Map (same shackle for Israel as the “aid”), Ron Paul was the only one who went before the Congress with proposal – “Do not force Israel to give up land for PROMISE of peace.”

      Compared to Dr. Paul the so-called “defenders of Israel” are simply panderers and political pygmies.

    Clearly this election just confirms the rampant racism among Conservative Americans.
    Especially in the American south.

    This guy’s no proggie masquerading as a Conservative, either.

    If this guy did this in heavily-Dem Louisiana, I can easily see him heading for the White House eventually.
