Jindal is not a fiscal conservative. I voted for him. One of his first acts was to tighten the rules of government mismanagement. The legislature agreed to clean up their own house in exchange for doubling their salaries. The legislature is already the 2nd highest paid in the South. Jindal was not going to sign it cause he did not want his name on it. In LA, if a bill is not signed by the governor, it becomes law in so many days. The public was outraged and he vetoed. Jindal has added/hired hundred of Non classified employees to the payroll making $100K to over $200k. He has cut education, state employees and hospitals (in other words the low hanging fruit) and has not cut his bloated staff or agency heads with their high salaries. I had high hopes for him but he is just another wheeler and dealer politician.

Thanks for the info! No one ever asks the people who live UNDER politicians' rule how they feel. I appreciate your input.

He has improved the state's image. However, we were at the bottom when he took over. He probably the smartest Governor and the most honest one we have had but I just don't think he is Presidential material. He was awful in the response he gave a year or two ago after Obama's State of the Union speech.

I remember that response and I wondered what the hell happened to him.

While I agree with that choice, Jindal has many Hindus really mad at him for changing his religion. Some Hindus told my wife this when she worked at the hospital full time.

They seem to love Nikki Haley.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
