Jindal became governor of this state with a pledge to clean up political corruption.
Then several months ago state representatives voted themselves a payraise that doubled their salaries, across the board (the original proposal was to triple it, but they backed off of that idea after public outcry).
All along Jindal vowed he wouldn't veto the poorly timed bill, passed in a state still struggling with recovery from two hurricanes. Well the people of the state "pitched an absolute bitch" and when the raise got to his desk he reneged and vetoed it.
During the recent local campaign for senator he appeared in ads for local John Kennedy, extolling him as a man with "fine American conservative values". Kennedy was running against Mary Landrieu, a woman who has tirelessly worked her ASS off on behalf of the state throughout her entire career.
Though the state went for McCain, the voters at least were wise enough not to fall for the party line, and re-elected Mary Landrieu.
Make no mistake about it. This guy is a dyed in the wool far right Republican with a gift for gab and as polished (on the exterior at least) as Obama.
So contrary to responses above, the GOP damn sure want one such as he.
