Jindal stumped when asked to name new ‘big ideas’ that McCain is proposing.
Jindal stumped when asked to name new ‘big ideas’ that McCain is proposing.
This morning on NBC’s Meet the Press, host David Gregory asserted that the Republican Party “used to be the party of big ideas.” Gregory then asked his guest Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), “What’s the big idea Senator McCain is campaigning on?” Jindal responded, “I think there’s several,” but couldn’t provide an answer. Gregory asked again, “Where are the new big ideas of the Republican Party that John McCain is, is championing?” And again Jindal couldn’t provide an answer. Watch it:
Jindal is just the latest McCain surrogate to be stumped when asked to defend McCain’s policies. Earlier this month, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) couldn’t name a single McCain accomplishment on energy in his long congressional career. Similarly, Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) recently drew a blank when asked to name a major economic policy that Bush and McCain do not agree on.

mccain's big idea? That it is time for a nap - he won't have to work, he can just let the criminal cabal behind dur chimpfurher continue to run the show.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:18 pmGive the poor kid a break. He's a Republican, he's not supposed to know anything.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:23 pmNuclear and clean coal? I wonder if Jindal has ever had a thought that didn't originate in the mind of a lobbyist.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:23 pmGregory asked again, “Where are the new big ideas of the Republican Party that John McCain is, is championing?”
- - Jindal: "..............uhhhhh......uhhhhhh......the surge!!!"
August 17th, 2008 at 1:24 pmMcCain, if he had a big idea, forgot it, like he forgets what he has voted for, against or even showed up to vote.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:26 pmWhat about the Big Oil Tax Break idea? 4 billion not big enough?
August 17th, 2008 at 1:26 pmWhat do you expect from a creationist activist. I guess the people of LA. are stupid after all since they voted for this nut sack.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:27 pmGOP the party of big WRONG ideas.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pmGregory : “Where are the new big ideas of the Republican Party that John McCain is, is championing?”
Jindal: "Umm... ummm... Look over there, something shiny..... Spoon! Spooooon!"
August 17th, 2008 at 1:29 pmLittle Bobby can't tell us what McCain's big idea's are because then the terrorist will know. Obviously Gregory is living in a pre 911 world.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:30 pmJindal is such a lightweight. If McSame as Bush is still considering him as a VP, he would be like G H W Bush's VP Dan Quaylee, another lightweight that was a heartbeat away from being our president. Sad.....
August 17th, 2008 at 1:32 pm.
"Drill, drill, drill."
.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:33 pmNew ideas that McCain champions?
Uhm.. uhm... the economic surge... uhm... the surge to control inner city crime... and... uhm... the surge in the Iraq-Pakistan border...
So, that's three new ideas for you, silly libs!
/sarc off
August 17th, 2008 at 1:46 pmBreaking news!
Bobby Jindal is a dim bulb.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:46 pmCongrats to war-monger McCain for his very own big new war: the Georgian war of slaughtering South Ossetians. Heck of a war-mongering, John.
August 17th, 2008 at 1:49 pmJindal: I believe that the nation needs a massive exorcism. Hallelujah! Jalapeno!
-GSD
August 17th, 2008 at 1:51 pmhe was still thinking about the exorcism that he performed before going on the show....
August 17th, 2008 at 1:52 pmThey don't dare tell us what mccain's "biggest" idea is: A BLANKET PARDON OF CHIMPY!
August 17th, 2008 at 1:57 pmmccain "big idea" #2 - arrest and imprison all that oppose the neocon/repug agenda.
And if you question 9/11? DEATH
August 17th, 2008 at 1:58 pmYou guys are all overlooking McCain's truly Big Idea:
"Bomb - bomb - bomb
Bomb - bomb Iran"
I'd say that qualifies.
August 17th, 2008 at 2:04 pmIsn't that just a reflection of Jindal's being a little stressed due to a jammed calendar of exorcisms he has to attend today?
August 17th, 2008 at 2:13 pmIt's.
August 17th, 2008 at 2:23 pmA.
Google!!!!!
Jindal: Did I mention McCain was in a cage? That clearly qualifies him to be President.
August 17th, 2008 at 2:25 pmWhether there be talking or silence it's obvious the GOP is the party of empty heads.
Someone needs to splice together the Romney, Sanford, and Jindal moments of emptiness.

Pappy and Baby Bush both chose a veep that would be "assassination insurance"...
"Much as you hate me, do you really want that guy to take over?"
Don't be surprised when McStain does the same.

August 17th, 2008 at 2:26 pmMcDepends' "new idea" is making IPods that are gasoline and oil powered .......
August 17th, 2008 at 2:27 pmAll they have is an aging naval officer who was a POW 40 years ago.
August 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pmNo policies - just lots of pandering.
Ask to recite the alphabet and these re-pugs are stuck for an answer of course in this case Jindal was justified cause there is no answer to that question
August 17th, 2008 at 3:01 pm"Big ideas?" I think he meant to say that the Republican Party is the party of "big business."

August 17th, 2008 at 3:07 pmThis post in VIDEO MASHUP form!
August 17th, 2008 at 3:08 pmI know what mccain's newest "big" idea was - he took a dump this morning!
August 17th, 2008 at 3:13 pmI'm surprised little Bobby didn't reply with, "Ummmmmm....making up shit about Barack Obama some more?". Spit.
August 17th, 2008 at 3:26 pmEverytime this idiot goes on TV, he makes an even bigger fool of himself than the last time.
Yeah, he's Republican vice presidential material.
August 17th, 2008 at 4:07 pmJindal lost his brain doing 'exorcism'.
August 17th, 2008 at 5:04 pmmc lame's "big idea"? let's all dump our first wives and marry heiresses. improved his economic standing tenfold, should work for the rest of us.
August 17th, 2008 at 6:40 pmLots going on on another thread about McCain's apparent plagiarism last night of his Christmas in the POW camp coming right out of The Gulag Archipelago.
August 17th, 2008 at 6:50 pmmarie
i couldn't find the thread you were talking about. do you have a link?
August 17th, 2008 at 7:03 pmTwo strikes, Bobby, and your age and lack of any national political anything precludes you from the VP slot for the ancient McIIIrd, whose chances of dying in office would be pretty high...

Just saw your post, Bozo the neoclown - hope you're still here.

Here is a brief summary:
here is the crux of it:
Check out this excerpt from “The Gulag Archipelago” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn:
Along with other prisoners, he worked in the fields day after day, in rain and sun, during summer and winter. His life appeared to be nothing more than backbreaking labor and slow starvation. The intense suffering reduced him to a state of despair… So he gave up.
Leaving his shovel on the ground, he slowly walked to a crude bench and sat down. He knew that at any moment a guard would order him to stand up, and when he failed to respond, the guard would beat him to death, probably with his own shovel. He had seen it happen to other prisoners.
As he waited…he looked up and saw a skinny old prisoner squat down beside him. The man said nothing. Instead, he used a stick to trace in the dirt the sign of the Cross. The man then got back up and returned to his work.
As Solzhenitsyn stared at the Cross drawn in the dirt his entire perspective changed…. he knew there was something greater than the evil he saw in the prison camp, something greater than the Soviet Union…Through the power of the Cross, anything was possible.
Hmm…POW story…silent meeting…the sign of a cross traced into the dirt in a show of Christian solidarity…the strength it gives to go on…Oh, but it gets better still, because it turns out McCain is a big fan of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, indeed McCain even wrote about Solzhenitsyn in an article, and even specifically mentioned “The Gulag Archipelago” in that very same article. And this would have been quite recent in his memory, since the article is from only two weeks earlier.

Maybe Obama should select Hillary as VP after all. ;-)

August 18th, 2008 at 8:14 amIs that a reactor in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
August 18th, 2008 at 8:15 amI would consider nuking Iran a pretty big idea, and McCain is seemingly pretty close to proposing that.

August 18th, 2008 at 9:17 amNow where did my CUE CARDS go????? Who took them from me???
Cut, it's Nap Time.
August 18th, 2008 at 12:01 pmSomehow when it's just the audio of Bobby Jindal's inability to say anything useful about McCain, it's even more pitiful.
August 18th, 2008 at 12:34 pmMcCan'ts big ideas for change? He probably forgot them during a "senior moment". Hell, he probably has trouble figuring out his new Jitterbug. But more likely he's just too busy trying to figure out how to get in Palin's pants when the Viagra kicks in. McCan't should get some new batteries for his hearing aid so that he can hear the change that the American people are screaming for--Stop Lying to Us You GOP Bastards!!
September 9th, 2008 at 8:05 amThis is another example that the "old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. Lida Sohbet sohbet sesli chat Gelinlik Modelleri
January 11th, 2009 at 10:49 amIf you’re referring to Karl Schwarz’ articles, if they are true, how will we ever know unless the news media gets involved without bias? The military under orders not to speak out may never convey Karl Scharz’ expose’. Sesli Sohbet If Cheney was truly involved in 9/11 and protected in some way, then he’s being protected by what may be going on in the Caspian Sea area as well. That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). Fx15 From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead. Orjinal Lida It’s too much to get into here and I’m not able to convey in here what Schwarz has presented in his articles. Sikis Dig into Schwarz’ articles to learn more about the unnamed soldier’s experiences related to so-called Black Ops missions in the Caspian Sea area in Schwarz’ article. What Schwarz had to present in this article is an eye opener: kurtlar vadisi pusu izle
