    WTF kinda double standard is this ?

    Jindal defends those who want Obama to fail



    By Mark Preston
    CNN Political Editor


    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- -- It's OK for Republicans to want President Obama to fail if they think he's jeopardizing the country, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told members of his political party Tuesday night.
    Gov. Bobby Jindal is offering a spirited defense of Republicans who say they want President Obama to fail.





    Jindal described the premise of the question -- "Do you want the president to fail?" -- as the "latest gotcha game" being perpetrated by Democrats against Republicans.
    "Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, 'Why no sir, I don't want the president to fail,' is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism," Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. "This is political correctness run amok."
    Since conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped that Obama would fail, Republicans have been pressed by Democrats and the media about Limbaugh's comments.
    Jindal, a potential 2012 presidential candidate, told the Republican audience he would "not be brow beaten on this, and I will not kowtow to their correctness."
    "My answer to the question is very simple: 'Do you want the president to fail?' It depends on what he is trying to do."
    Jindal, who served two terms in the U.S. House, returned to Washington to help his former colleagues raise more than $6 million for the 2010 midterm elections. And he likely picked up important political chits, should he decide to run for president.
    So far, Jindal has sidestepped questions about 2012. But on Tuesday he seemed to be laying the groundwork in case he eventually decides the political climate is right. A video of favorable back-to-back TV reports about Jindal preceded his introduction to the audience. And Jindal used his remarks to deep-pocketed Republican donors to emphasize his vision for how the Grand Old Party can get back on track.
    He made a point to criticize Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a "spending spree" that he said "is costing the taxpayers more than the Iraq war, more than the Vietnam War, and, near and dear to my heart, even more than the Louisiana Purchase."
    Jindal singled out House Republicans for standing up to Obama and helping the GOP return to its conservative roots.

    Everyone at this site and on FOX news said either you support Bush or you support the terrorist and that will make you Un-American.


    Now If you don't support Obama? your just American.

    Don't bother trying to explain the right's hypocrisy because only the left in the country fall into that category. While we are on the subject of Fox News they have been whoring the tea parties around the country the last few days. Today the morning show wanted to see what Americans 'think' of Obama's proposals. So where did they go? The tea parties. These meetings are also known as the hannity/Rush/levin etc. /backslapping / Dem bashing get togethers.

    I don't recall lead ins like that when crowds of 5 times the size of the tea parties staged anti-bush/war rallies. They were looney according to Fox news..

    No hypocrisy here..just move along.

    Your point? So? People who voted for Obama are not real Americans. We real Americans get to suffer through this French-style confiscatory socialism while the freeloaders party.

    Sigh... if only we had the balls of a country like Chile... and a real leader like Pinochet to set things right.

    Foreigners like you who deign to lecture us about our politics could really use a nice electric shock to the testicles.

    Conservatives have no clue as to what damage they have caused for this country. In fact they are willing to go further to make people hate us even more. Two words- Freedom Fries

    Oh nooooooooo... the Europeans will think baaaaaaadly of us. Because, you know, when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I'm concerned about is what some European is going to think of me. When I'm tying up a prisoner, I loosen those knots just a little because in my head I know there's some Frog somewhere in the world who thinks I'm narrow-minded.

    I would waterboard you in a second and enjoy it. I'd enjoy it even more if I could take the cellophane off.

    My concerns:

    1) Me

    2) Mine

    I did great under Bush. The "damage" was to people like you. You don't matter. The country exists for the benefit of the powerful. You are a pawn.

    I'm smart enough to understand that the key to success is convincing everyone else that they need to live by the rules, while I do whatever I feel like doing. Have you figured that out yet?

    I'm one of the few who really understands what 'American' is. A true American is one who follows his own enlightened self-interest. I'm successful. My cohorts are successful. Like I give a rat's ass about the little people.

    And I'm descended from people who were smart enough to figure out that if they left Europe, they could be the new aristocracy somewhere else.

    You mean the same FDR who interned thousands of Americans in concentration camps because of the colour of their skin?

    FDR was America's best hope of having a fascist regime. He almost succeeded.

    Gentlemen, you are responding and arguing with someone wryly named Homeland Security.

    Stop.

    Think about that for a second.

    What kind of ridicilous tautology is this? Unbeleivable if this kind of crap really qualifies as an answer.

    LOL

    So do I. Jindal has less charisma than even McCain...At least McCain had the war hero thing going for him...Jindal looks like he should just shut up and get back behind the counter at the 7-11.
