Fred...that IS an opinion. I was in a hurry, and meant to include the word 'might'....as in might being caught in the clutches. Grammar isn't one of my strong suits first thing in the morning.

And with that I agree... I also believe he has a lot to learn regarding the office of POTUS, as does Jindal himself, the man is no dummy, and as I said, Bobby is up and coming, learning the ropes, but I defy ANYONE to show me where Jindal IS IN THE CLUTCHES!<br /><br />No Dave, you stated opinion, Kate made a statement, an accusation of sorts, against a personal friend, and it may well BE her personal opinion, but I want to see HARD facts that he is "In the clutches"... I am not saying Kate, or anyone else can't state an opinion, of course they can, but when some bullshit gets spewed, I don't care WHO spews it, there had better be some facts, not just *a feeling*...<br /><br />Am I pissed off??

I'm the one who started the name bashing.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong...I like Jindal...I like what he's doing...but I don't think people will get behind him, or enough of them, that is. It's just a feeling I have, not necessarily based on fact, just some hazy kind of notion that tells me his time for power or ascension, for lack of a better term, is just not now.<br /><br />But I could be very, very wrong (happens all the time), and I'm willing to give him a chance.<br /><br />I just don't see anyone rising up to take control of the Republican Party right now...or in the future. I see lots of good people, but no one coming and seizing the "opportunity" in crisis, to quote the chief of staff for our dearly beloved president (and that last clause is indeed satire).Snarky Basterdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823805913522030434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939631823024094655.post-1702587329517126622009-05-06T11:40:00.000-05:002009-05-06T11:40:00.000-05:00Kate, Bobby Jindal is a personal friend of my fami...Kate, Bobby Jindal is a personal friend of my family, he is one of the really good guys, up and coming, learning the ropes and standing FOR the people, at least so far, and again, I DO have 1st hand, personal knowledge... He is a good Christian, he's got a lot of other *good* sides I can't, and won't enumerate here... <br /><br />I want some HARD damned facts, I want to KNOW why you feel that Jindal has been "caught in the clutches"... These statements are NOT going to fly as posted, we need FACTS. If it's satire, say so, if it's opinion, say so, if it's fact, link it to citation, it's that simple...TexasFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412925337032937983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939631823024094655.post-71518677794970049342009-05-06T09:47:00.000-05:002009-05-06T09:47:00.000-05:00As much as I like Bobby Jindal, I'm afraid, he too...As much as I like Bobby Jindal, I'm afraid, he too, is being caught in the clutches.
