Gov Jindal's GOP Response to the State of the Union (But Not Really)

What part do you need me to prove that you can honestly say you don't already know?

-1 Republican Senator in 100 years
-A handful of Republican Governors
-Education rankings
-Health rankings
-Roads, infrastructure

What? Are you seriously not aware of our political history or rankings?

 

obviously he was wrong to make some story up like that and youll have to ask bobby why he did it.

bobby still does things for this country, the others dont. put em down.

 

ST. TAMMANY PARISH :thumb:

 

We're ranked very high in food, entertainment, fishing, hunting, music, events, fairs, landscape, and many other things that aren't influenced by our politicians...regardless of party affiliation. No party can take credit for our successes.

Now let's focus on the things that the government is supposed to be responsible for. Roads, bridges, schools, crime, income, pollution, etc,. etc.

If we're at/near the bottom in most categories (and have been our entire life) then it's easy to suggest that we've had some pretty lousy politicians along the way. Knowing that this state has been predominantly run by Democrats, why can't we draw the conclusion that they've been a monumental failure?

Why?...because some of you don't want to hear it because you want to believe the Democrats are perfect and can do no wrong. Louisiana is a great case example of why you never want to give too much control to the Democrats. They'll screw it up like usual.

Have we been blessed with great Republicans? No...and unfortunately of the few we've elected, a couple got caught pulling a Slick Willie. (at least they had the b@!!$ to admit it)

St. Tammany Parish has been at/near the top for the past three decades and has mainly been led by Republicans. Most of the crimes committed there are by New Orleans residents (most likely Democrats) and most of the weaker students arrived from Orleans and St. Bernard Parish after Katrina.

Argue all you want but instead of requesting an infinite number of statistics...please tell me why we're in this condition and please inform me of all the wonderful things the Democrats have done for this state.

 

Dick Cheney isn't vice president anymore, so give him a break.

 

You tell him, Red. Where would we be without the magnificent contributions of Earl Long, Edwin Edwards and Edith Babineaux Bunker?

First site I visited had these numbers for St. Tammany Parish. I didn't see anything lower than 4th in the state. I'm sure I could find more but I'll let you waste your time spinning this first red. :hihi:
