http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/louisiana-gov-bobby-jindal-refuses-implement-obamacare-despite-152429092.htmlBobby Jindal jumped up and down today yelling, "You can't make me!"
"Why should I implement reform?" he asked. "Look how great Louisiana is doing with health care! We rank 49th of 50!!"
Upon learning that #1 is best and #50 is worst, Jindal replied, "I know you are but what am I?"

(23,867 posts)Just a blind thought, without any thought for who the voting population are in the state. But even Republicans wouldn't mind good health care at reduced cost.

(11,495 posts)So Jindal and Walker are "NOT" going to implement the health care reform, so do they actually think this is going to please all those who are benefiting, or will benefit from the reform in the future? Now I may be wrong, but I would think that doing this in any state, refusing to implement the reform that will "HELP" those in need just might rally the voters who might not have gotten out to vote who like this reform. While I am also sure that being an ass will make him look good to the wacko right wing base, I just don't see the benefit of doing this at all!
I am willing to bet that this will backfire on these morons big time, and I am willing to bet that neither Jindal or Walker are going to be the VP for Romeny!

(42,698 posts)On a conference call this morning, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) got a little tongue-tied during his defense of Romney and a repeal of the law.
There's only one candidate, Gov. Romney, who's committed that he will repeal the Obamney -- the Obamacare tax increase, Jindal said. He will repeal Obamacare as soon as he's elected.
Though Jindal quickly correct himself, the damage was done. Just an hour later, Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley (D) had already seized on the comments to show the similarities between the two laws.

You know that's what it will take for him, Rick Perry, that Nebraska governor, Walker, Scott and the rest to man up and do what's right for their citizens. Yes, we could run and win elections off their cruelty but this about a moral imperative (and in violation of that, legal recourse).
