Bobby Jindal: Without social issues, Republicans are just ‘cheaper Democrats’

"We should be a party that's proud of our conservative principles. Our country doesn't need two liberal parties," he said. "Not everybody's going to agree with us 100 percent of the time, and that's OK. What the country doesn't want, I think, is a party that's pretending to be something it's not. If all we do is pretend to be cheaper Democrats, we'll never earn the right to be in the majority. Let's stand up for what we believe. Let's be authentic. Let's be sincere. Let's not discriminate. Let's respect people who disagree with us. Let's be bold and specific."

I hope I don't run across him while he's campaigning. I think he'll stay in the western part of Iowa. I thank him for that.

worked out great for the likes of what's-his-name who said women can "shut the whole thing down". Know why I can't remember his name? BECAUSE HE'S GONE.

If rethugs actually said everything they feel on the campaign trail they would all end up like what's-his-name but they are very adept at cloaking their intentions from the public. I completely agree with Jindal. speak out for what you believe and let the world see bright and clear what <insert any demographic that is not rich white American males here> HATERS you are.
