Bobby Jindal is the governor of Louisiana, an elected mistake that the good citizens of Louisiana will rue for many years. Jindal is an ultra-Right, ultra-conservative, extremist Roman Catholic exorcist screwball who thinks that Intelligent Design is science and should be taught in Louisiana schools. And those are his good points!
From the Louisiana Advocate: "Rising Republican star Bobby Jindal signed legislation allowing judges to force convicted rapists to undergo chemical castration."
Jindal said, "I am glad we have taken such strong measures in Louisiana to put a stop to these monsters' brutal acts."
The law, Senate Bill 144, got Jindal's OK "on the day that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Louisiana cannot execute people who rape children under the age of 12."
Two things: One wonders if this "rising Republican" moron realizes that rape is not a crime of passion but of violence. They don't rape women because they have balls, they rape women because they don't have enough balls to relate to women in a normal manner. Castration will not stop the violence against women. In fact, it may make it worse! Instead of putting a "stop to these monsters' brutal acts," he may well have provided the motive for increasing them!
That's the thing about so many of Republicans; they keep making bad things worse. Bush decides god wants him to remove the bad guy, Saddam Hussein, in Iraq and before you know it, five years have gone by, and we've lost over 4,000 soldiers with many thousands more maimed for life, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi dads and moms and kids have died in the streets, millions have fled the country, an enemy that did not exist before the invasion is now resurgent and violence continues in spite of our 150,000 "peace-keepers" occupying the country. Is Iraq better off now than in 2003? Ask the Iraqis. As many of them had said, at least then they had water to drink and electricity. Now all they have is bombs and death!
Don't you just love this party of "family values?"
What do we do with the monsters who put this grab for oil in motion - Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rice and Powell, et. al.?
The Republicans want to do away with abortions so they promote programs like "abstinence only" which end up creating more abortions!
And now, Bobby Jindal, rising in the Republican ranks to cause even more devastation.
Ugh!

The people that voted for Bush twice got what they wanted and what they deserved. I doubt if they even benefitted from the tax cuts. O hope they have learned to look over the candidates more carefully next time. Some people never learn
