Notable Quotables (In their own words)

IN CASE YOU’RE STILL UNABLE TO READ THIS 2007 JINDAL CAMPAIGN FLYER, IT SAYS IN PART (AND THESE ARE DIRECT QUOTES LIFTED FROM THE FLYER):

I know firsthand how important it is that we protect state employees and state retirees.

As my campaign for governor continues to intensify, I expect that some people will begin to spread false rumors about the future of state employees under my administration.

I wanted you to hear it from me that I will be a friend and supporter of both state employees and retirees.

I want to see state workers and retirees supported for the work they do.

I do not believe we should punish people for working, and certainly do not believe teachers and state workers in Louisiana should be singled out for penalty.

These men and women (state employees) work incredibly hard to ensure a bright future for our state and our children.

I strongly believe that we must support these workers in their efforts.

As a former state employee, I know firsthand how important it is that we protect state employees and state retirees.

Any statements to the contrary are simply false.

There’s more to this jibberish, but you get the picture.

Gov. Jindal, the truth is simply not in you.

Actions speak louder than words, Sorry Mr. Jindal, your actions are louder than your letter!!!!!!!

I believe that if you look at Jindal closely you will find the numbers “6-6-6” tattooed somewhere on his body.

There’s a warm and toasty corner of Hell for Bobby J. His treatment of state employees is unforgiveable, and as surely as I believe there’s a Judgement Day, I believe Jindall will be held accountable for the misery he has unfairly heaped on our civil servants. I wouldn’t line a bird cage with this kind of propaganda. Bobby is no friend to anyone or anything that doesn’t fit or finance his personal schemes .

This is classic Orwellian doublethink of embracing two contrasting philosophical beliefs simultaneously; ie, the “Big Lie”. Hard to believe that it still exists.

Well, I guess we now know the demon from the long ago exorcism jumped to BJ.

Charlatan. Every job the man has worked as an adult has been taxpayer money, and he has the gall to demonize as leeches those who work year in and out for the taxpayers. Most of his bona fides have been earned as an appointee–a “who you know”, not “what you know” kind of job.

I wish the advocate would have printed this letter alongside his proposed bill. Funny how the news won’t say a negative thing about him and there was no coverage of who was running against him in the last election.

It’s always nice to have someone’s previous statements on an issue when he does just the opposite. All of these “reforms” have nothing to do with their actual impact, they are only about Jindal’s resume. He will leave behind a mess when he leaves Louisiana.

It amazes me that the people feel this way and they still voted that evil man back into office. Did he sprinkle something on the people in La.? Isn’t it odd that nobody ran against him (well-known candidates) and as said previously, the news media will never report anything negative about him. IT IS AMAZING.

His Rapid fire speech blurs his long term memory. Good practice for his national platform. Odds are his pension is untouched, his friends’ pensions are intact, and his contributors’ pensions are safe. True power is measured by the hostage voting he has imposed on his legislators.

  According to The Advocate, he’s been contributing to the TRSL. What a joke!
  
  Fact is, targeting Jindal is not enough and probably pointless. He wouldn’t get squat without the legislators voting with him on this stuff. They’ll be around when he’s long gone. It will be of critical importance to make darn certain that we have long memories come November 2015 and hold everyone of these [word that no lady would every actually say aloud] accountable. Let’s see how many of them are running on their record of votes on these issues in 2015 when the proverbial roosters start coming home.

    I know darn well I typed 2014, not 2015. It’s them inner tubes.
