Bobby Jindal Plans to Revitalize GOP by Making It Even More Radical

[octoberlib]

Republicans have convinced themselves that their problems are mostly tone and tactics. But Bobby Jindal thinks the GOP's problem is they're not wingnutty enough.
Watch out, Washington: Bobby Jindal called Thursday on Republicans to take an ax to the federal government.
The Louisiana governor suggested “rethinking nearly every social program in Washington” in a speech to members of the Republican National Committee gathered here.

“If any rational human being were to create our government anew, today, from a blank piece of paper — we would have about one-fourth of the buildings we have in Washington and about half of the government workers,” he said, according to a copy of the speech obtained in advance by POLITICO. “We would replace most of its bureaucracy with a handful of good websites.”

So, in 2005, George W. Bush tries to privatize Social Security -- and the GOP gets thumped in '06 and '08. Then Mitt "47%" Romney and Paul "Social Security is Collectivism" Ryan run for the White House promising to repeal Obamacare, on a budget which eliminates Medicaid -- and were arguably the most anti-New Deal and anti-Great Society ticket, ever -- and Obama wins 332 electoral votes.
And Bobby Jindal's conclusion?

Republicans keep losing elections because they're not trying to hard enough to gut even more of the safety net.
