Freeper Meltdown after Jindal's Unmitigated Disaster

[SuperTrouper]

I have to agree. The setting was horrific; too busy. The suit was ill-fitting and the bold stripped tie was annoying (and I don't know anything about fashion).
I would add that someone needs to teach the GOP about youtube and other networking sites. From what I can tell, there's still no "official" GOP rebuttal video posted.

The first 10 minutes was a disaster. Oh wait, the speech was only 10 mins long? Well, I was hoping he would do well but did not impress.

We need four things four years from now. Personality, Can give a speech, conservative, and can raise $500 million.

I think the only person who can do all four is Palin. I did not connect with Jindal at all tonight and I don’t know if anyone else can raise %500 million.

I agree. That was an awful speech. It was totally disconnected from Obama's speech!

“Are you #$%#$#s propping up some other candidate or just dumber than dirt?”

If by candidate you mean someone to pit against 0bama,then, yes, I’m propping up most other potential candidates.

Jindal might govern well in his state but he will NEVER beat 0bama, never in a million years.

Jindal’s speech was a stinker. To begin with, I’m sick of hearing republicans going on and on about how the election of 0bama was so so historic. Jindal’s delivery was poor, and his attempts at personalizing stories kind of fell flat. I’ve heard him speak before, he’s a smart guy, but he’s very dull. If he were to get the nomination in 2012 he’d draw McCain size crowds, maybe a bit bigger. Bored, unenthusiastic crowds don’t volunteer, don’t donate, and sometimes don’t even vote. Last I heard he’s only rejected $98 million of the stimulus for Louisiana, which is just over ten percent. Palin has rejected about 50 percent of the $1 billion offered her state. All she’s taking are for construction projects.

Why not blame Jindal?

I have no idea what Jindal was rambling on about.

That was bad.

I didn’t watch it but the GOP needs to quit being so damn apologetic period. They need to learn how to deliver and keep talking points going beyond a news cycle. They need to choose talking points that resonate with the common man. No one believes that we can spend ourselves out of this mess. Keep it simple. The people don’t need to be reminded of how strong they are, they just need to be reminded of how corrupt and worthless our government is. The problem is far too many Republicans have a fondness for Washington which is not by chance one of the only cities not being hit by the current recession.

What has the government done to deserve our trust or our money? They have wasted our money and have betrayed our trust.

Did anyone else notice tonight that Jindal referred to Obama in his speech ‘completing a redemptive journey’: with Jindal legitimizing Obama why does he need the MSM?

In addition it is also a prime example of ‘white guilt’ that the GOP must overcome if they are to win 2010 and 2012.

Kinda sucks because Obama is considered such a great politician because he can read from a teleprompter.
Jindal would crush him in most other forums. I remember listening to Jindal give a pre-hurricane briefing and instead of saying "please evacuate, and here is my emergency management team," he briefed the whole thing. Quite impressive.

As far as tonight goes, it sounded too much like a speech and not enough like Jindal. Americans shouldn't care where a Republican comes from, they will figure that out on their own. He should have stuck to his main message; believe in the United State, not the United States Government. I have been going nuts waiting for somebody in the GOP to say this for months now. That is the message.

I've read about Jindal for months now, but this is the first speech I've seen him make.
An unmitigated disaster.

People who say "What about the substance, he had that" can pat themselves on the back for being about substance if they want, that's not the issue. If no one listens to you, it doesn't matter what you say.

The country likes Obama's style. Like it or not, Jindal looked like the same old thing, someone not prepared for the spotlight who thinks he can overcome inexperience by being fake-friendly. He came off like a hopped-up Mr. Rogers, and as sincere as a used car salesman during a Going Out of Business sale.

One can claim none of this matters, but it does, big time. I don't think Sarah Palin will be the nominee in 2012, but seeing this video showed you how a genuine communicator does it--and it ain't like Jindal. Palin is comfortable in front of the camera and talking to the televiion audience. Whatever the issues are that will keep her from being the next nominee, that ain't one of them.

If we learned anything about the media from the last 9 years it's that if you aren't a good communicator, you've lost the message war, and if you've lost the message war, you've lost, period.

Jindal is off my list for potential 2012 nominee. Which leaves...no one.

I heard Jindal on the radio earlier today. Sounded squishy.

A Republican should have gone on tonight and said:

Why have you spent over a million dollars keeping your birth certificate locked up?

Are you a natural-born citizen? Are you even a citizen?

Since your grandfather, father, mother, and mentor, and all your associates since childhood have been Communists—Why aren’t you a Communist? Or are you?

Why have you seized control of the census?

Why have you given ACORN $4 billion? Isn’t there enough thuggery and vote fraud to satisfy you?

Of course the “stimulus bill” had no earmarks—It was 100% PORK from beginning to end. Earmarks are pork! If a bill is 100& pork, there’s no need for earmarks.

Why is the money supply shooting up like a moon rocket?

And why have you spent over a million dollars keeping your birth certificate locked up? (I know—I want to see this question repeated.)

"Jindal is off my list for potential 2012 nominee. Which leaves...no one."
I was equally disappointed. I agree, Palin is comfortably better than Jindal in front of the camera. Unfortunately, I don't believe Palin has a prayer in a national election; too much damage already done.

What about Sanford? I saw him on Fox News Sunday this past week and thought he held his own nicely. Which, I thought was difficult when competing with three other guests. Of course, he does have the "just another white guy from the South" persona that brings it's own set of problems.

People keep expecting the GOP to exhibit a small level of competency.
It is an insane expectation.

DC politicians bring in a fresh face and then apparently don't adequately prepare or support him, not a surprise.

I would rather get my gall bladder removed than watch a political speech from either party, but from what I am reading here people were disappointed that Jindal wasn't as smooth as Hussein Baraka.

At some point more free people will realize that this won't be solved at the ballot box or by professional politicians, but by outraged patriots taking to the streets and demanding that the socialists take their hands out of our grand kids pockets.
