Obama - I been to 56 states, I think I got 1 or 2 more to go.

[The True Adonis]

JINDAL BY FAR is more Religious and Extreme than  nearly ANY current member in government.

[The Coach]

You know, Coach. People might believe you if they hadn't lived through the last 8 years of their government reducing their freedoms and rights, having their country's moral/spiritual ethos shitted on, the treasury looted and plundered, involved in bogus overseas wars and basically lied to on a daily basis. Besides all that, you're aces! 

What I think is halarious is that Bush haters can't see any of the good he has done. I'll leave it too you to figure it out since you seem to be so up on things.

[dr.chimps]

Jindal's office has not yet responded to requests for comment.

I'll give you one: Oh Brother! What a load of tripe.

[The True Adonis]

I'll give you one: Oh Brother! What a load of tripe.

If you want a good giggle, look up Jindal`s record on the issues. Any person with a brain will be appalled at his stances:

Also, be sure to view this wonderful gem.

Uh, no...you bring it up: the onus is on you to tell us. 

[The True Adonis]

What I think is halarious is that Bush haters can't see any of the good he has done. I'll leave it too you to figure it out since you seem to be so up on things.

I can name 2 good things he has done.

His whole stance on Illegal immigration has been wonderful. In fact, Illegal Immigration has stopped and grinded to a halt as a result:  http://www.mercurynews.com/valley/ci_10622542

Also,

Bush has sent an envoy to talk with the Leaders of Iran.  Bush was also very effective in sending envoys to talk with North Korea which caused them to halt further Nuclear weapon development.
Bush is finally realizing that talking to those who differ with our policies is in fact the correct approach.  He should have been this diplomatic all eight years.

[The Coach]

Uh, no...you bring it up: the onus is on you to tell us.

Jindal is MUCH more EXTREME than Palin in his Religious views.  He is furhter right than even Sarah Palin and did you know that he once performed an Exorcism than wrote about it he even claims he cured her cancer by "laying hands on her":

But one of Jindal's job titles hasn't gotten much attention -- and it just might prompt a few questions if his Veep candidacy gains steam: Exorcist.

As others noted during his 2003 and 2007 gubernatorial campaigns (see update), in an essay Jindal wrote in 1994 for the New Oxford Review, a serious right-wing Catholic journal, Jindal narrated a bizarre story of a personal encounter with a demon, in which he participated in an exorcism with a group of college friends. And not only did they cast out the supernatural spirit that had possessed his friend, Jindal wrote that he believes that their ritual may well have cured her cancer.

Reading the article leaves no doubt that Jindal -- who graduated from Brown University in 1991, was a Rhodes Scholar, and had been accepted at Yale Law School and Harvard Medical School when he wrote the essay -- was completely serious about the encounter. He even said the experience "reaffirmed" his faith.

Jindal's affection for battling demons never surfaced during Jindal's failed run for governor in 2003 or his successful one in 2007. The state Dems did make an issue in 2007 out of Jindal's extreme Catholicism and his view of Protestant tenets as heretical, but the effort provoked a backlash among voters who thought the assault was religious bigotry. So Dems didn't make an issue out of Jindal's experiment.

But Jindal's battle with the dark forces may become an issue should his Veep candidacy proceed. While it's hardly a blockbuster revelation, it could provide fodder for bloggers and late-night comics to turn his candidacy into a media sideshow.

If you're interested in the details about Jindal's spiritually experimental past, we have lots more for you after the jump. It's lively stuff.

In the essay (purchase required), Jindal describes an emotional friendship with a classmate, "Susan," recently diagnosed with skin cancer and reeling after the suicide of a close friend. Susan's behavior becomes stranger, and she is surrounded by "sulfuric" smells. Finally, one night at a prayer meeting, she collapses in a seizure -- and the exorcism begins:

The students, led by Susan's sister and Louise, a member of a charismatic church, engaged in loud and desperate prayers while holding Susan with one hand. Kneeling on the ground, my friends were chanting, "Satan, I command you to leave this woman." Others exhorted all "demons to leave in the name of Christ." It is no exaggeration to note the tears and sweat among those assembled. Susan lashed out at the assembled students with verbal assaults.
Jindal then describes how the whole situation made him physically uncomfortable, and he wondered if the same demon afflicting Susan was responsible for his state of nervousness:

Whenever I concentrated long enough to begin prayer, I felt some type of physical force distracting me. It was as if something was pushing down on my chest, making it very hard for me to breathe. . . Though I could find no cause for my chest pains, I was very scared of what was happening to me and Susan. I began to think that the demon would only attack me if I tried to pray or fight back; thus, I resigned myself to leaving it alone in an attempt to find peace for myself.
After a lull in the event -- it in fact lasted "a few hours" by Jindal's reckoning -- Susan attempted to run away, but was dutifully pinned back on the floor by her friends:

Maybe she sensed our weariness; whether by plan or coincidence, Susan chose the perfect opportunity to attempt an escape. She suddenly leapt up and ran for the door, despite the many hands holding her down. This burst of action served to revive the tired group of students and they soon had her restrained once again, this time half kneeling and half standing.
After what sounds like a number of hours, and a failed attempt at getting help from a preacher (he refused to assist), the exorcism finally concludes in dramatic fashion:

It appeared as if we were observing a tremendous battle between the Susan we knew and loved and some strange evil force. But the momentum had shifted and we now sensed that victory was at hand.
While Alice and Louise held Susan, her sister continued holding the Bible to her face. Almost taunting the evil spirit that had almost beaten us minutes before, the students dared Susan to read biblical passages. She choked on certain passages and could not finish the sentence "Jesus is Lord." Over and over, she repeated "Jesus is L..L..LL," often ending in profanities. In between her futile attempts, Susan pleaded with us to continue trying and often smiled between the grimaces that accompanied her readings of Scripture. Just as suddenly as she went into the trance, Susan suddenly reappeared and claimed "Jesus is Lord."

With an almost comical smile, Susan then looked up as if awakening from a deep sleep and asked, "Has something happened?" She did not remember any of the past few hours and was startled to find her friends breaking out in cheers and laughter, overwhelmed by sudden joy and relief.

Jindal writes proudly about the experiment's conclusion: "When the operation occurred, the surgeons found no traces of cancerous cells. Susan claimed she had felt healed after the group prayer and can remember the sensation of being 'purified.'"
Jindal's office has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Overkill.  US media is bias and worthless.  Call them like you see them   

Let us vote intelligence in 2008 and 2016.
