is jindal cool or not? i do know that he has been pretending to be a creationist to pander to his constituents. pretty shrewd.

He's a Southern version of Sam Brownback.

maybe brownbacks plan would have worked awesome on a national level because you can deficit spend and keep writing checks to fund schools and build roads even with no revenue

Yeah, the white guy in the second portrait is a little bit more tan. The first portrait did a much better job of capturing his 5 o'clock shadow, though.

The Round Profound Mound Chris Christy said he is going to a belly flopper into the Presidential pool. Wearing his Obama Duckies life vest he will give a self-effaced blowhard speech. He be a big turd clogging the plumbing.

He will never find the votes for that amendment. This is just a hollow issue to attract stupid voters. That's probably the best strategy he can use, though.

its just fun for me that he can claim to be a strict constitutionalist while also demanding one of the most basic parts of the constitution be changed

Cruz should wait before vilifying the court too much. I mean, they just struck down EPA limits on certain pollutants/pollution control by oil and coal power plants. Cruz should be

Sure gay ppl can get married, but why does that matter if they are just going to eventually die of mercury poisoning?

Most republicans care more about social issues than the economy. Cruz definitely falls into this category.

What makes you say that? I feel like millennial conservatives are more liberal when it comes to social issues but staunchly to the right when it comes to economic issues.
