Bobby Jindal: The Next President?

I just read an interview by Cal Thomas with Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. Jindal has a lot of advice for the Republican Party and he has the credibility and integrity to back it up. He is a former congressman who ran for governor after the state's Katrina response disaster. Louisiana's political system has been entrenched in corruption for decades. The corruption was never more visible than in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Jindal campaigned on getting rid of the corruption in government, and this traditionally Democrat state elected him, a Republican.

He is a rising star in the Republican Party. Had he not been so adamant about seeing the job through to the end, he might have ended up on McCain's ticket instead of Governor Palin. Instead he's implementing real change that helps real people. There's been a lot of talk about him, along with Palin, being the future of the party. He is a true conservative - something we've been missing lately with a few exceptions. The future looks good for him and in turn, us.

His last statement needs to be the rallying cry for the Republican Party:
"We will deserve to be a majority party again when we show the
American people we are competent, we truly believe the principles we espouse and we've got relevant solutions to the things they care about, whether it's the economy, health care, international terrorism."
