Jindal Wins Second Term as Louisiana Governor
« on: October 23, 2011, 09:09:33 PM »


Bobby Jindal, a Republican who championed stronger ethics laws in his first term as Louisiana governor, won re-election against nine other candidates in an open primary, according to the Associated Press.

Jindal earned 65.8 percent of the vote in yesterday’s ballot, negating the need for a November general election, according to the AP, which declared him the winner. Tara Hollis, a Democrat and schoolteacher making her first bid for public office, came in second with 17.9 percent of the vote, with 100 percent of precincts reporting.

Jindal, 40, is the first Indian-American governor in the nation. He was elected on promises to change the state’s reputation as a nest for corruption. Within months of taking office, he won approval for laws prohibiting public officials from holding state contracts and requiring them to disclose information about their personal finances.

You mean the one where they treat his given name (Piyush) as a slur? 

Yeah, those lilly-white faggots at the DUmp are all about peace and love.

Pretty amazing in a super blue state tax & spend like a drunken sailor state like Louisiana that they would elect a true conservative like Jindal.

If this dude was Democrat he'd be a rock star.

Actually, to conservatives like us he IS a rock star.   :cheersmate:

Yeah, thanks a lot ex-Houston Mayor Bill White for welcoming with open arms a bunch of mostly thugrat hoodlums into Houston to double our violent crime rate.

 :mad:

I know someone that manned the customer service phones at Houston Housing Authority a few years ago; she had to deal with Katrina refugees mostly; she said they were the most digusting, rudest, complaining, ungrateful lot of miscreants she ever dealt with in her entire life.

Sorry for digressing.    :whatever:

Jindal was in an envious position - after Blanco's incompetence in the aftermath of Katrina became every bit as evident as jazz in the Big Easy and she decided not to run for a second term, the people of LA were ready for somebody who impressed them favorably.

It's good to see that the impression has continued.

Yup.  SSDCity up here.  I prefer most of our illegal immigrants to our non-illegal refugees.     :offtopic:

Yep, they treated the dome in Houston like their own homes.  Peeing and defecating everywhere, littering, etc.  A few caught having sex right there in the dome in front of 30,000 other people.  Apparently it was a lot like an OWS gathering.

A possible V.P. choice? I definitely think so. I didn't realize he was only 40 years old. He's got a great and long political future ahead of him.
