Selected exerpts from the video
Jindal: "Clearly, first of all, we need to congratulate President-elect Obama. I think Senator McCain was very gracious on election night. As Republicans, we need to do three things to get back on track. Number one, we have got to stop defending the kind of spending and out-of- control spending that we would never tolerate in the other side. You know, when voters tell us that they trust Democrats more to cut their taxes, control spending, that tells you something is wrong with the Republican Party. We’ve got to match our actions with our rhetoric. Number two, we’ve got to stop defending the kinds of corruption we would rightfully criticize in the other party. The week before the election, our most senior senator is convicted on federal charges. And that’s only the latest example. Number three, we have got to be the party that offers real solutions to the problems that American voters, American families are worried about. We don’t need to abandon our conservative principles. We can’t just be the party of no. We need to offer real solutions on making health care more affordable, on the economic challenges facing families, on the international threats. I think we’re going to have a debate in this country. I’m opposed to a single-payer, government-run health care system. But that’s not enough. We need to also show the American people that we’re for tax credits, we’re for using technology to emphasize preventative primary care, electronic patient records, so every American has access to affordable private coverage." Newt: Ronald Reagan, in 1984, got 61 percent of the youth vote. John McCain got 32 percent.
Newt: I think if President-elect Obama is brilliant and committed and lucky, he might well consolidate that vote.
Newt: Senator Obama’s campaign, he’s promising a middle-class tax cut. That was a Reaganite position. |

great stuff Jindal cuts through the crap to the core party identity issue. As within Butler County, the Republican party has abandoned their fundamental basis towards bureaucratic bloat,patronage and a blind eye towards corruption. They have become the enemy of the people and the results have played out accordingly. |
