The Media Already Gearing Up For 2012: Give Me A Break!


It will only be a matter of time before the media, as willing accomplices to those on the Left, start attacking Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. First the media will build him up as the Republican savior for 2012, but then we will hear “from unnamed sources,” or from State leaders (all of whom will be Democrats…no bias there), regarding Jindal’s “faults.” I have no doubts that the media will look at every minute of Jindal’s life, something they neglected to do with Obama. However, Conservatives must be careful what part they play in the future of Governor Jindal.

Bobby Jindal is too smart to fall into the trap that many politicians fall into, which is to simply “attack” the other side’s ideas. Governor Jindal made this very clear during his appearance in Iowa during the weekend of November 22, 2008:


Governor Jindal message is simple, Conservatives must offer solutions to the issues, and avoid the temptation of just attacking the “other-sides” ideas.

Republicans must also be patient, not only with Jindal, but also with other potential candidates, such a Palin. Conservatives must focus on reinforcing our foundation at the local level so that our national candidates have a solid footing to stand on.
