I think Jindal's comments were a step in the right direction.

I have seen headlines in the last week about Jindal and Ryan both warning Republicans about Republicans. Anyone find that sort of ironic?

that I have trust issues with Mr. Jindal. He'll say whatever he needs to say, with sincerity all over his face, to get what he wants. Maybe he means what he's saying but I'll believe it when I see it in action, and I'm not seeing it in action here in his own state.
I think it's interesting that what Jindal and Ryan - are saying

is pretty much what a poster alluded to and got blasted from the right. Of course, no foundation for the blast, just walking down memory lane about... well, you remember.
Anyhow, where are they now? Why don't they criticize and berate their leaders for saying that Republicans need to stop being the stupid party, or we need to reach out to the changing demographics.
Encapsulated in a very well thought-out post by a Democratic poster were the same talking points by Republicans. I'm just wondering what they think of the new "image" the Republicans are trying to portray.
But I was thinking the absolute same thing you are saying. Actions speak louder then words. I just can't help but think they are only saying this for political reasons. It's a long stretch to believe their words would actually translate into action.
Jindal said they have to stop being the STUPID party. - sm

I didn't know there was a cure for "stupid."

Landlord And Rental DiscussionJun 23, 2017This is really a vent/rant more than anything, but I wanted to share an experience in regard to renting an apartment and wondered if anyone else had anything to share. The rental market where I live is extremely tight, rent has gone up across the board and it's really difficult to find nice, affordable housing. I live in a pretty nice place and have had the same landlords for years at 2 different locations, there really aren't any issues here. Recently I have bee ...

Dear Tea Baggers,
I am convinced that close to 90% of you have no clue what you're even protesting.
If it's the debt or the deficit, where were you the last eight years? You scream about ignoring the Constitution, but when pressed for specific examples you stutter on about Socialism. Most of you don't even know the definition of socialism, it's just a buzzword your rich corporate sponsors injected into the debate ...

What Do You Think Of Stores Being Open On Thanksgiving? Nov 22, 2012I can see that people in the medical field are necessary, but I think retail people should not be forced to work on Thanksgiving to increase the big store profits.
Years ago, we had a huge conflict here and eventually voted on a city ordinance allowing stores to remain open on Sunday. At that time, I thought it was a good idea because I had to work Saturdays and needed the time to take care of business.
I think this camping outside of the stores and people actually getting hu ...

So, Did Everyone Hear Obama's Open Mic Night?Apr 16, 2011It was all over the news and all over the 'net. To me he sounded pretty egotistical in the one paragraph, but the comment that shocked me (highlighted in yellow) was later on in this article:

The words weren't that newsworthy, but their delivery had the White House a little ...
