The rebuttal to President Obama's speech tonight by the selected GOP representative was flat, lame, and stuck in ideology.Governor Bobby Jindal (Louisiana -R) delivered a response that was steeped in the tired Republican rhetoric of tax cuts, no-government-is-best mantra and the (alleged) need for fiscal responsibility.
(A lecture on fiscal responsibility from the party that spawned one of the largest expansion of government and federal deficits in recent history? That's rich....)
He even fell back and used the Republican standby of the 21st century: 9/11 and why we should be terrified of the rest of the world.
He even tried to pawn off the poor response of the Federal government to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as an excuse to ban government.
TRYING TO BLAME THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ADMINISTRATION UNDER REPUBLICAN CONTROL ON THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION?!
And from who they say is the rising star of the Republican Party?
Ya know, it suddenly occurred to me last night, that Republicans like Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele and so-called conservative Michelle Bernard are trying to be something they're not; I really, REALLY think that they are white-people-wannabes!
They...are....just......trying.....too......hard to emulate something they are not.
And in the process they have lost their identity and what COULD have attracted minorities to the GOP.
In conclusion I must admit that the GOP is really a party that does NOT disappoint - they lived up to their expectations of being the out-of-touch, partisan and divisive party that we KNOW they are.
