On the news for the last few days, there has been much talk about Bobby Jindal’s opinion of what the republican party should do about it’s shrinking membership. He said they should say something different. Niether the party nor Jindal still really gets the picture. The people have caught on to the lies the republican party has told with straight faces all these past thirty years and now have finally caught on that their word don’t amount a hill of beans. They have been double dealing to their own constituents all of this time, claiming to be on the side of the people while favoring corporations at the expense of the citizenry, You can change the message, but if you don’t change the things you do, you haven’t done nothing. And that is essentially what Bobby Jindal is saying; don’t change anything you’re doing, just change how you say it! This isn’t anything new. Republicans have been rebranding the party over and over all these years doing the same ole thing. That’s not my idea of speaking truth to power. That’s a cover for the republican party by the news media.
They may be putting Gov. Jindal on a pedestal but that’s the last place he belongs. When he became governor, the state of Louisiana was swimming in money. As is always the case with republicans, he came in and gave away all of the money in tax breaks for the rich and corporations and now the state is in deficit. He brought his friends with him and almost instantly doubled their salaries. Now he is cutting the state’s budget so that needed state programs, like education and health services have become sorely lacking. Not only that. He has turned down federal money intended to help in healthcare of which the government will pay nearly 100 percent for the first two years. Tell me, what’s so great about that?! They came up with some shallow excuse about future costs. You can say what you want, but unless the state will have to pay more than 60% of it’s own healthcare in the future there is no good excuse for that kind of stupidity!
He said that the GOP must not become the “austerity party”. Yet, while his lips say this, there is no better evidence of his hypocrisy than looking the austerity policies he has been stridently putting in place during his governmental regime in Louisiana. And that is how republican politicians play the game; proclaim one thing while doing the exact opposite.
Even now, he is trying a tax swap that will put even more burden on 80% of the citizens of the state by eliminating corporate taxes and income taxes and adding $1 per package of cigarettes and adding 4cents to state taxes. And all the time he has already given corporations $4 billion a year in tax exemptions.
And last, but surely not least, in a state that is over thirty percent black. Gov Jindal has displayed absolute disdain, disrespect and disregard for people of color, even though he, himself is a person of color.
The media can acclaim Gov. Jindal as the next coming of Messiah if they want to, but you can be sure that the social media will be there to set the record straight. This is no longer the FOX only news era. There are other, more reliable news sources now, The truth will come out, and I don’t mean Bobby Jindal’s or the conservative’s truth, I mean the REAL TRUTH!
