Tampa, Florida (CNN) – Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is backing Rick Perry for president, a major endorsement for the Texas governor as the campaign for the Republican nomination enters the crucial fall stretch of the primary calendar, a source tells CNN.
Jindal is on his way to Florida and will be Perry's guest at Monday night's "Tea Party Republican Debate" broadcast on CNN from Tampa, the source said. Jindal is expected to formally make the announcement prior to the debate.
On Monday, Sept. 12th, CNN will broadcast the "Tea Party Republican Debate," live from Tampa, Florida at 8 p.m. ET. Follow all the issues and campaign news leading up to the debate on CNNPolitics.com and @cnnpolitics on Twitter.
Jindal released a statement Monday saying, “Rick Perry is the candidate who can lead our party to victory in 2012."
“His record on job creation simply cannot be beat, and the one million jobs he’s helped create as governor is a stark contrast to the 2.4 million jobs lost on President Obama’s watch."
Earlier in the day, Tim Pawlenty endorsed his one-time rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, for the GOP nomination. Pawlenty, a former Minnesota governor who dropped out of the race last month, will be Romney's guest at the debate.
An interview with Jindal will air exclusively Monday evening on CNN's "John King, USA."

Perry is the preferred candidate for idiots.
It sort of looks like a Blue vs. Grey contest is starting to shape up in Florida. Interesting.
Jindal is another deceptive conservative, just like most of them. Does anyone remember that disconnected rebuttal he gave a couple of years ago? It pretty much ended any chance he will get to run for POTUS.
I thought Jindal had better sense than that!
Would this be the same Perry whose donars pay his $10,000 a month rent, send him on pricey vacations, buy his cowboy boots, and on and on and on? Sure hope he doesn't talk about personal responsibility.
A closn supporting another clown. Now the GOP hopefuls look like a bunch of happy clowns surrounded by buffoons.
The Big Oil Brothers !
Bobby Jindal knows how to grease the pole !
The both take stimulus money , then disagree with admitting why they took it !
Perry will be our next president unfortunately , he was chosen by BIG money along time ago , bought and paid for !
Yeah yeah...big suprise...Booby Jingle, southern conservative GOPernatorial ideologue who is trying to raid the Lousiana's state employee health care program for the $500M surplus it's last manager created by managing it so unbelieveably well (he was promptly fired for opposing Jingle's nonsense)...all under the guise of privatizing it because government "can't do anything right"...shows solidarity with a fellow southern conservative nutjob. Color me shocked.
Lol. Gov. "Deer Cought in the Headlights" Jindal's endorsement is bad news for any TEApublican. You can't be endorsed by some muslim/hindu foreigner if you're a TEApublican. That's just not TEAtard politics. Bobby Jindal is the caliphate Glen Beck warned us about. Spooky! Lol
This the lightweight who flubbed the GOBP response to the President bigtime. Nobody cares. What is this? Knee jerk wingnut endorsement day?
The mindless stick together don’t they ?
Not unlike the Mega wealthy Romney and Hatch.....
Oh Pyush! You've abandoned your name, your religion and now your common sense.
This may not go well with Tea Party. Jindal isn't exactly white.
Bird brains of the same feather often flock together.---- What a pair !!!! Neither should be allowed to have a pair of sharp scissors.
well guess what mr. jindal?ron paul 2012
Gov Bobby Jindal is a heady intuitive smart politician, he makes Joe' Biden look like Hair Plugs growing on an empty skull.
Goofy endorses deputy dawg
Well, if mr mardi gas endorses you then you have it made!!! If they weren't so dangerous the teabaggers would be a real hoot as in hootenany!
If the rnc convention in Tampa is anything like the super bowl there might be plenty of family values broken in every other corner!!!
It is good to see Jindal come out from under rock he has been hideing under. Perry and Jindal both out to destory Soc-Sec and Medicare.I guiess noone in Louisiana Draws Soc-Sec or uses Medicare.The big puzzel for is how in the world did Jindal Get Elected to be Governor 0f Louisiana,Don't they have TV, Newspapers are they do busy to tend to business.
Once a Rhodes scholar, now a panderer. How sad.
I can't wait for the dim bulbs that ridiculed Barack Obama's name to now tell us to listen to Piyush Jindal.
Who cares what a washed up never-was like Bobby Jindal thinks about the candidates or who he endorses? This race has already scraped through the bottom of the barrel and is now just digging up earthworms and bugs. After all, until very recently it was all a primary about who wanted to get their brains beaten out by Obama in the general election.
Its either sarah or perry. This election is for the very soul of america. The progressives will fearmonger about these regular american leaders but we as americans know better.
Jindal has just marginalized his credibility.
These guys are pathetic. Thank god i live in California instead of louisiana or Texas.
One do nothing Southern Governor endorsing another. Both states have high numbers of uninsured citizens and rank as two of the worst. Texas dropped from 39th to 40th in heath care (United Heath Foundation). Both states have high debt. Texas went from surplus to approx $27B in debt. I would think the rest of the country would want to strive for much more than what Texas and Louisiana achieved for it's citizens.
Oh, goody! Another endorsement. I support the once-democrat-now-a-republican Perry because he likes to live in a $10,000.00 per month mansion paid for by taxpayers.
Now, excuse me while I go scavenging for plastic. I need it to repair the cardboard box I live in. I hear rain is heading this way.
Piyush Jindal endorsing a flip flopping, coke snorting, D student adulterer? Sounds about right.
Well, we have heard your criticism of the Obama administration. But what are your solutions for fixing the problems your republican party created?
"We can do Anything"
Stupid endorses Stupid...........
You vote for this teapublican or the other they are one and the same. They all belong to the party of NO. Just wait and see once the GOP takes control of the house, senate and white house the american people wil be victims to their radical agenda. They will repent like winsonsin but it will be too late.
LOL! Nice pick "Bobby". Makes sense though sense both states rank low in education and insured citizens - not to mention both states are frequently needing that gubmint money that they despise so much.
It's official. Jindal is a couple of mudbugs short of a gumbo.
So the GOP is going to put forth an anti-government, anti-Social Security, anti-Medicare / Medicaid, anti-eduction, anti-science Bush-clone (but dumber) secessionist? Good luck with that. At least now the whole country will see just exactly how much the GOP hates America and the middle-class, by their endorsements of this flawed and dangerous candidate (Palin, Bachmann, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum, and Paul are equally as bad).
An speaking of rain, did Texas ever get the rain that Perry prayed for a few months ago? Did Jeebus another his prayers?
Perry was once a democrat and he betrayed his party for fame. He is a traitor. Be ware of him!
1 "Big Dummy" supporting another "Big Dummy"
I'm sure Bobby will send Rick a nice piece of gold from the pot he gets from oil companies.
I thought Jindal had some sense but his choice to endorse the anti science, lover of executions , self proclaimed evangelical except that he loves execution who has the state with the most uninsured, the least well educated and more low paying jobs who is also against social security, unemployment and even the minimum wage is just shocking to me.
Obama Biden Please Lord
Who will be the moderators for this debate?
Well, I guess now that the media has decided that the only two Repub contenders are Parry and Romney, the VP nominee-wannabees are really lining up!
Jeez. Who would have thought. The bullied and the bully join up. Maybe Perry threatened to beat him up?
Oh, that really mades me want to change my mind about Perry, One nut endorsening another nut. How did these people get in office, I did not realize how bad it had gotten.
HaHaHaHa!!! Pyush is endorsing Perry. Now Pyush can completely disavow himself of his science degree and drag Louisiana back into the dark ages. What's next Pyush? Making it illegal for women to go to school. WIth any luck at all (although Pyush is not really what the Tea Baggers view as one of them) Pyush will run as Perry's VP and we will be rid of him in Louisiana.
With Parry's IQ and the way he squirms around when he sits on a chair and talks, combined with Jindal's goofy walk and demeanor, boy, that's a pretty funny package!
Neither one of these two losers are getting my votes in their respective elections!!!
What this endorsement really means is "LA is far too close to TX for me to pick one the saner candidates like Romney or Huntsman."
who really cares who 'Swamp Boy' wants to endorse?? Stay in the bayou & wrestle them there gators & crawdads, lol
Jindal and perry make a good pair of candiates out to destroy Soc-Sec. and medicare. The Tea party and the rest of the Gop want the working man to have nothing. The funds of these Insurances should have been in a secure Account ,used only for the purpose it was intended. Presidents and congress have miseused these funds.I still do not know how Jindal got elected Governor
Sorry, I can't look at him without thinking how schooled he got by Kenneth the Page...
yet another reason to not vote for Perry...
And I thought all Indians are smart.
The moron endorsing the idiot, isn't that swell. The thing that I like about this being a TParty sponsored debate for Republican Candidates is it finally removes any doubts that the Republican Party and the Tparty are the same and that the Republican party has now fully shown itself to be the party of lies, hypocrisy, ignorance, stupidity, hate, and exploitation, while favoring tax cuts to the rich and corporations and tax increases for everyone else. The real slogan of the Republican/Tparty should be "Making the World Safe for Exploitation."
Here’s a funny: the Republican/Tparty claims to hate what they call bailouts to business but don’t mind giving tax cuts to business. In other words they don’t mind giving money to those who don’t need it but they can’t stand helping those who do. And what did the bush tax cuts get us: millions of jobs and industry sent to China.
It's official now. It's over. Bobby knows that Perry is the one who can rally the tea baggers and bring the anti worker, anti middle class, anti social security, anti medicare, anti health reform, anti veteran, anti teacher, anti Hispanic, anti Black, anti senior, anti union, anti women's rights, anti firemen, anti policemen, anti Muslim, and the anti environmental protection group of the republican base together.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum – When you see them coming voters run. Neither of these fellows can be classified a viable leader.
So one Dummy endorse they other Dummy. Rick Perry shouldn't even be a loud to be GOV,he a trader to his country. He wanted Texas to secede from the Union. That should have him put In JAIL for treason. This man will make America worse not better.
Wow...Bobby Jindal...how impressive...ya sure!! His endorsement will surely make folks want to hop on the band wagon. Still laugh when I think of his response to the State of Union address...absolutely hilarious. Talk about a deer in the headlights!!
Isn't Jindal the one that has been complaining that Fema wasn't prepared and didn't do enough during Katrina and the oil leak. Now he is backing a guy that wants to do away with the agency that didn't do enough. These republicans can't seem to make up their minds, can they?
Who cares that Jindl is backing Perry? Too many questions about this fast talking Texan.
Jindal is just as transparent as Pawlenty. He is also vying for vice president.
Jindal has come out against Federal funding of Volcano research (presumably because Louisiana doesn't have volcanoes) and Perry is apparently opposed to science in general. Perfect match of ignorance.
Jindal has proven to be an idiot. Whom ever these GOP think is the hottest candidate they jump on the bad wagon.
Why are the other 6 candidates even still wasting their money? The media has already decided that the GOP race will come down to Perry vs Romney.
I'm so glad I have CNN/Fox/MSNBC to think for me and tell me who to vote for. Heaven forbid I make a terrible mistake and vote for one of the other guys who actually shares my interests (Huntsman).
I'm such a fool.
Jindal was against the stimulus and then wrote large checks using that money to hand out to people of LA for him to use as photo ops, never once mentioning that the money came from the feds. Yeah, he's honest AND credible. Fail.
What do Jindal and Perry have in common: They are both Governors of states with some of the worst record of healthcare (especially for children), education, poverty, budget deficits. They are both at the top of every bad list and the bottom of every good list. Once again we are reminded that the Republican/Tparty is leading us in a race to the bottom.
Both Perry and Jindal are a little too strange for me. As a matter of fact, the current GOP lineup seems just a bit scary
....And another nearly moderate Republican bites the dust and drinks the TEA. Too bad. If the moderates keep getting turned there will be about Zero electable candidate very shortly for the GOP.
Wow thought Jindal was smarter than that. Wake up people a TEA PARTY candidate will never win a national election. Not to mention one that wants to destroy Social Security and Medicare/Medicade! Try and sell Ponzi to the Florida voters.
Add "idiot" to your resume Jindal.
Duh: Perry took into Texas half the population of Louisiana after Katrina- which was hugeky admirable and the job was well done. But Bobby is endorsing Perry because he might need Texas again-I think they are very different otherwise.
Wow the two creationist monkeys are hooking up.
Rick Perry for President. Did someone really post they were glad they lived in California and not in Texas? All I can say is WOW!
Rick Perry for President. Did someone really post they were glad they lived in California and not in Texas? All I can say is WOW!
Vote for Perry if you don't care what happens to this country, the environment, education, or any kind of medical research. Very scary, indeed!
Honestly, does anyone care or predicate their vote on what one politician thinks about another politician?
Pee Wee Herman endorses Cowboy Curtis. Big deal.
Just another V.P. Wannabe!
Hmm. The grease palmers are a busy bunch today. First Pawlenty, now Jindal.
Just what we need....a Bush clone in the White House.
This should solve all of our problems.
The most money and the biggest mouth.
This guy is like dangling shiney objects in front of the braindead conservative filth in this country.
He's just Trump with cowboy boots.
It seems the (R)s have finally chosen their top two dogs. I guess we can expect a new endorsement everyday now until one of them finishes the other off. This party will certainly be the collaspe of America as we once knew it.
Why hasn't Piyush "Bobby" Jindal produced his long form birth certificate for review by true Americans? Why has he spent millions trying to hide it? Why is he forcing the residents of Louisiana to live under Hindu law? What is he hiding?
How did Perry ever get elected to anything? Did the voters never see him, hear him or talk to him in person? Go ahead and make him your candidate, and you will be utterly destroyed. The government is for the people in the middle, the idea being to keep extremism out of people's lives and government policy. Imposing your religion and beliefs on everyone else is the definition of tyranny, not a fitting trait for the supposed "leader of the free world".
Does Jindal also believe that we should make FEMA and the Federal Government inconsequential in the lives of the citizens of his state? Will he feel that way after the next big hurricane?
Horse's buttucks.
Ashamed of Jindal and Nickey being Indians.
I've just lost any respect I might have had for Jindal. He's supporting swagger over brains. Party discipline over practical solutions. Gridlock city, here to stay.
And an endorsement by Jindal is worth???????????
What, I thought he was leaning toward Obama!?!
And it just get's worse and worse for republicans.
Howdy Doody endorses Mo from the three stooges.
Well, you just found out everything you'll ever need to know about Bobby Jindal's judgment. The Govenor of Louisiana endorses the likes of someone who believes creationism is valid enough to teach in our schools and Social Security is nothing but a Ponzi scheme. Jindal may be likeable enough in interviews but I hope the American people remember what an opportunistic, intellectually disingenuous coward he is should he ever decide to run for President of the United States.
Pyush aka "Bobby" Jindal, thoroughly embarrassed about his own heritage, now wants to hang with the "big mouth and wide strut" guys from Texas. Best bet is that Jindal knows he's so much smarter if not any less unethical that the bubbas that he could be angling for a Dick Cheney type vp bid where he really gets to run the show since Jindal can at least figure out where all those other pesky countries are located. Then again, Rick "the Hair" Perry might just have Pyush washing the White House windows should the country go into a full blown psychotic episode and elect Perry.
Louisiana wouldn't even make a list of 3rd world countries if it were a country. What do you expect.
This is America we have a right to chose, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is backing Rick Perry for president. Go President Obama
Lets hope Piyush 'Bobby' Jindal expends as much energy in governing LA as he does licking up to other state officials.
He's the abstention governor and our state of LA is in dire straits. He has proven to be a less than stellar leader-but the sheeple will continue to vote him in. Sad for LA.
My my, the liberals sure have their name calling shoes on today don't they. How about something constructive for a change?
Jindal is a few crawfish short of a full plate of Étouffée.
Progressives want to drown america in their immoral, unethical, atheistic cesspool. They use the word 'science' as if science agrees with their ideology (most are not scientist). Have they ask the pertinent questions or are they just parroting the mantra, talking points of their political masters. They speak of education or the lack there of- history will tell you that education in america was championed not by progressives but by religious conservatives- how's that for fact. Progressives you are being brainwashed even hypnotized by the progressive talking heads. Wake up to freedom.
Beevis endorsed Butthead
This is more than the "Night Show"! Hello Bobby the boy, this time you campaign for Perry use commas and fullstop. If you will do it they way you talked during the "Oil Spill", the man will be written off!
We love our Gov. in Louisiana. Thank you for sticking up for the moral values of our country. Anybody but BHO
What do you think of a man who is vain enough to dye his hair?
What do you think of a man who throws his support behind a man vain enough to dye his hair?
Did I hear anyone say, "could you make me Vice President, please?"
who cares who this clown endorses?
Bobby Jindal is backing Rick Perry.... Who cares?
Just wait, if Perry becomes president, you'll be forced to get flu shots or be arrested.
His guest? Share a hotel room? What?
That's two Indian governors for Perry - is he promising even MORE TX State Jobs to the H1-B visa holders? They hold most of them already. It's no longer Austin, it's Bombay East!!
I opened up the article without looking at the host. As soon as I saw the first post, "Perry is the preferred candidate for idiots." I knew it was a Dem. sponsored blog.
Why can't a liberal ever state what they are for or against? It is always name calling. It does not move the discussion anywhere. If you do not like Perry, say why. State your case against him. Why do you have to insult the writer?
This is all too funny, the Republicans and tea party block and stall any progress for the country, alllllll the while the Candidate's running for nomination say that the president failed. Not even helping your party help create jobs in America but run for president.(what is wrong with this picture?) WE HAVE OVERESTIMATED THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE AMERICAN VOTER.
hum, I thought Jindal was smarter than that. Guess I was wrong.
Whenever I hear "Rick Perry" I can't help but think "Sideshow Rick Perry", after that Simpson's episode where Luke Perry stood in for Sideshow Bob.
Wow – lots of NEW and ENDORSEMENTS today. This PUSHES Bachmann further and further down the polls to where she is NOT even showing!! It's also strange that Palin is still HIGH in the polls, beating Bachmann!!!
I truly hope PERRY gets the nomination.... But as you notice in other TICKERS, he's "flip-flopping" his ASH all over the place – especially when it comes to Social Security. I guess he's trying to move his ASH towards the center!!!
Obama/Biden 2012!!!
You do not realize how many people – Black, White, Hispanic, American Indian, etc. LOVES HIM until you go to one of his campaign stops......................... out of a capacity of holding 9,000 people @ UR – there were LESS than 100 seats empty!!! I have the FILM to PROVE IT!!!
Gee, if Perry gets the nomination, I wonder who his running mate will be?
The issues are serious but there's much humor in the postings. Although one could get upset at times 9/11 reminds us that when it comes crunch time we are all americans! We look out for each other.
DrSheilahere – I'll tell you what i dont like about Perry. He has time and again taken a position that science doesnt matter, that ideology trumps reason (see his stance on global climate change or intelligent design for details). He's flip-flopped on many many issues, including his stance on social security (which he apparently hates in his book, but defends in interviews, but lambasts again in debates, and will aggree with just enough to keep from alienating senior votors). He continually blames the current administration for issues that any reasoning person would dig into and see are the result of many years' worth of bad decisions. He not only approves of the recent unprecedented redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the rich, he advocates more of it – see his positions on taxes. He publicly prays for rain in a packed stadium because there are wildfires burning for the last 400+ days in Texas, yet HE is the one who cut the forest service budget by 30%... The Texas jobs miracle he keeps going on about is anything but – Texas has one of the lowest literacy rates in the nation, and has the highest percent of the workforce in jobs that are at or below minimum wage – Some miracle.
In short – you could fill bookshelves with what this guy doesnt know about running a country. Does that answer your question?
Jindel endorses Perry?
Well now; that's gonna sway a lot of voters
!
That helps Perry's credibility a little bit, and absolutely destroys Jindall's.
Perry is a phony, a blowhard with limited grasp of the facts, a demagogue, and a cynical opportunist. This is not name calling, it's a statement of the observable facts.
To those that are misinformed that Hindustanis are more intelligent than Americans, I give you Bobby Jindal.
I have always thought Jindal was a "sane" GOP more than most...but this changes that...he is as stupid as the rest of them. Look it up...GOOGLE it, 38 of the poorest 100 counties in the US are in Texas...this is what Perry is so proud ot? Half of the people there cannot speak English and probably dont even know who Perry is, as i doubt he has been to McAllen or Starr County, Texas...shame on Jindal.....I actually liked him. NOT!
No shocker here. A stupid, evil, bigoted governor backs another stupid, evil, and bigoted governor. Of course who in the GOP field isn't stupid and/or evil? You have to meet those requirements to be a Republican.
Who cares what Bobby Jindal does? Is that what his mother named him. He should take care of his issues in Louisiana, that a large enough task.
Bobby, or what ever you want to be called...you are a shame to the Indian-American community.
@ Dr.Sheliahere:
Why can't a liberal ever state what they are for or against? It is always name calling. It does not move the discussion anywhere. If you do not like Perry, say why. State your case against him.
I don't like Perry because he is a fraud, he campaigned on us not having budget issues and guess what.....we do to the tune of 27 Billion, more that California, I don't like Perry because he sold our highways to a private Spanish company (from Spain), and took land under eminent domain to do so. I don't like Perry because he mandated 12yr old girls get vaccinations after being paid by the company to do so. In a nutshell, I have just shown you that Perry is not a fiscal conservative, does not respect private property and madated we buy something. Everything that the tea party says they are for he has done completely opposite. I'm liberal, so that should make it even worse, Perry used to be liberal for Gore in the 90s. Perry is a fraud just like Bachmann and her government handouts and Romney and his Romneycare, all of which make these 3 pledge signers unelectable based on tea party conservative values, which is why we wonder how truthful that movement is if any of these 3 frauds get the nomination.
A very SIMPLE case of Dumb and Dumber, .................................teabagger style
Republicans Are The American Taliban
Why hasn't Piyush "Bobby" Jindal produced his long form birth certificate for review by true Americans? Why has he spent millions trying to hide it? Why is he forcing the residents of Louisiana to live under Hindu law? What is he hiding?

/////////////////////////////////////
The only one not showing his "real" birth certificate and hiding his past is Mr. obama the fraud president. He was born a british subject and was not, is not, and never will be qualified for President of the United States of America.
Gov Jindal is not a Natural Born Citizen and is not qualified to be President of the United States of America either. Same with Sen Rubio of Fla. At least Gov Perry is a Natural Born Citizen as required by the Constitution. But, I don't want him as President either. I have my own opinion of who I will vote for and will not broadcast it to the world.
Have a nice day!
I dream of a day where there is no fear mongering liberal sadist left in government, who has no idea what this country is, or what made it as great as it is. Liberals either spew ad nauseam rhetoric that makes no sense to any objective observer, or they start to show what egoistic brainless drug abusers they really are. Not one of them can see straight enough to examine an issue clearly enough to see the whole picture. They claim to be the altruistic bunch, but show their futilitarian ways with every bill they either ask for or push towards legislation. No doubt Obama is good with the cadences, chalked with inimical rhetoric, but other than blaming others for the lack of shovel ready jobs, he has no new solutions. If liberalism was so superior then they would not need these canards they call arguments. Each and every premise on this thread from a lefty is erroneous, and lacks any valid arguments, with deductive logic. They are claiming all the wealthy are Bourgeoisie, but then deny their Marxist tendencies. The lefts obsolescence is near, which is good for the rest of the world. Maybe after we will see the generations of minorities finally see the fruition of all their hard work. The left will not have the constant message of hopelessness, and finally use the opportunities that have been offered to them. There will be no more liberal conjecturing, and policy can be based off of empirical data that is not manipulated by the very forces that see monetary gain when they are in power. Look to Goldman Sachs when you wonder why those who helped destroy the economy are sitting free. The unwarranted loans that ending result was wide spread economic panic. This led to the candidate of hope and change, but reality gave us fear and endless hopelessness.
So Romney and Perry are both bringing dates that are not their wives?
who is Jindal? and why do we care who this fool endorses?
dlr
Rick Perry for President. Did someone really post they were glad they lived in California and not in Texas? All I can say is WOW!
Yes someone did and I too am GLAD I don't live in Texas anymore. Between Bush and Perry no thank you. It's too hot, too extreme and much to ignorant for civilized people.
Wow! That is a shocker. Governor Jindal is moving even farther to the right. Coming from an Ivy League education to supporting Rick Perry is quite a road to travel. Going from a Governor who needed tons of support after Katrina and the oil spill is now joining forces with Perry, a man who would do away with the money.
Governor Jindal, like most TEA Party members and those who are very conservative would like us to change immigration even though their ancestors were most likely immigrants and arrived here in many different ways. They have issues with Social Security which would help to put an end to that money for those who are retired and those to follow. He is an advocate for closing down FEMA, for lowering the amount of money going to social action programs, health insurance rules and regulations, and more.
When I read some of the comments I began to wonder why they keep writing that this is just liberals speaking. I am not a liberal, I do have very strong values, I am religious, and my family is very precious to me. Please comment on the story and stop spending so much times pitching battles.
Howdy Doody supports another clown?
That is not exactly "breaking news", but then Howdy does believe in exorcism and Rick (Elmer Gantry) Perry has been busy polishing the knob, er, buckle of the Bible belt and wooing the Southern Baptist!
Expect a statement from the Perry camp, I appreciate the endorsement, altho, I do not agree with ANY of his beliefs!
Sorta like "I am not a witch" but still want the teatard's campaign contributions so I can pay my rent!
One radical endorsing another radical. What did you expect?
One extremist know-nothing nutball endorsing another.
Come on CNN. Does anyone care who the little pip-squeak Jindal endorses?
As a Jindal supporter in the last election, I am disappointed that Jindal seems to be more interested in issues out of state than here in Louisiana. There has to be something he is working toward on the national level. Those who have complained about Obama being a Muslim certainly can't be very supportive of someone, like Jindal, who definitely was not Christian until his conversion – or, did he really convert?
And Jindal's endorsement is important why?!? Jindal was a spark in the GOP for about 3 minutes, that's it. I don't anyone cares what Jindal says, most Americans don't even know who he is.
Caution. Bobby Jindal has dark skin. Based on traditional GOP philosophy, this means either he is a Muslim, he was not born in the US, or he pals around with terrorists . . .
Why is it a disaster strikes a major US city and suddenly their Mayor becomes credible. To this I say, BFD>
Should we ask 'Who cares" or "Do we laugh?"
Those two guys, alias Lloyd Christmas and Harry Done.
Even more reason not to even consider Perry for President, as if I needed any more reasons.
It's simple: Jindal wants to be VP (and later Pres.) and Perry needs some brains on the team. Average both their IQs and together they become about average.
JIndal could be Perry's mentor on how to live the life of irrelevance. Both are weak in slightly different ways, but weak and shallow none the less. And soon both will be irrelevant.
Wasn't Jindal's parents here in the US on a green-card when he was born? Is he even a US citizen? Someone call Donald Trump to get to the bottom of this!
Not much to add to these comments, except to say,
I'm ThinkAgain, and the GOP does NOT speak for me.
what would you have expected from this guy who with his sister the gov.of South Carolina do not know about anything which is the teatards ideology, the least you know the better. OBLIVIOUS!!!!!!!
One weasel endorsing another weasel. WHOOPEE!
Riiiight – that's the Far right Asian-Americanswhocan'trespondtoObama'sStateoftheUnionspeechverywell-faction sewn up then.
Who cares what Jindal says – he is washed up.
i never thought jindal was bright, but this is too much
Jindals statements about Perry are total hippocracy and the guy interviewing him doesn't even question his statements. Most of the jobs created by Perry since the recession are GOVERNMENT jobs. Private sector jobs have actually decreased. Jindal keeps saying government doesn't create job, but that's exactly what has occurred in Texas. He also says income has increased, true only for the rich of Texas Perry is a liar, just the opposite of what Jindal says.
Seriously? Mr. Rogers of the GOP makes an endorsement and we care why, exactly?
Someone else vying for a chance at the VP spot.
Why don't these guys just be for real, and say what their intentions are? Be honest with the American public?
Oh, excuse me, I forgot that I was referring to Pawlenty and Jindal – never mind.
The Squirrel finds his Nut.
OBAMA 2012!!!
May be, most North Indians over 40 will heed his advice. People from South India don't like Jindal and won't heed his advice. (India has its own North vs South issues). They may vote for Perry for other reasons.
I believe that if I were to mention God and/or " no taxes ", that I would have a pretty good chance and winning the bid for the GOP candidate.
Awesome. I've been waiting eagerly to hear who Jindal would endorse. I can sleep now.
Isn't Jindel the guy who changed the sand bars off the coast for the waterfront property real estate guys; only to find out the Government Engineers were right – ya' shouldn't do that 'cause it doesn't work, and it makes things worse.
State's rights vs government intelligence.
What happened to the democratic party in LA? Not fielding a high profile candidate to run against that idiot Piyush! I'm voting for ANYBODY OTHER THAN JINDAL!!! That moron is killing education and healthcare in LA.
The corporate clown this time around is Perry. He is a total tool of the corporate ruling class. Revolution is an answer...it worked against the British. We know the enemy...corporate America.
Before you consider voting for Rick Perry, you might want to investigate the Seven Mountain Dominionist movement and their plans for America. THEY will be endorsing Rick Perry. Do you really want to vote for someone who is going to be backed by a fundamentalist Christian theocracy movement? Do you really want to have religion-based laws imposed on you? Find out what the Seven Mountain Dominionist movement is, what they want to do to this country, and who they are supporting for President...IF you value your freedoms and liberties...
Correction. Governor Bobby Jindal submits resume for Vice Presidential consideration.
Jindal is a joke! Perry got rocked tonight.http://bit.ly/nEKDSp he looked like a dead man walking after Bachmann and Santorum jumped up and down on him!
After the talking point I am still waiting for the debate to begin. If this is what they have to offer we the people of America in deep trouble. Give me liberal or give me nothing at least I would be inform. Sad Sad.Sad.
Leave it to the GOP to make a big deal about a has-been, totally irrelevant politician endorsing a prez candidate.
And Jindal's opnion is important because.......? When Jindal's opinion becomes relevant, the next article I expect to see is an article about MY choice for presidential candidate.
Jindal should help Perry about as much as Pawlenty will help Romney....which means it's absolutely no help at all.
Jindal, we may have wondered at your worth, but now we know. Got none.
Perry will become the next president because enough people have found out that our current president is doing a terrible job of helping our country recover. This new jobs bill will give his base some work for a while but it won't help manufacturing and that is what is really needed. He is just trying to give more tax money to union workers to buy their votes. Won't help the rest of us one bit. Remember what Jimmy Hoffa called us... SOB's.
After the debate tonight, Jindal's gotta be regretting that move. Don't jump on an untested horse, it might throw you.
Piyush Amrit Jindal and his ridiculous exaggerated accent would make a perfect running mate for Perry, that's probably the deal, we'll have to wait and see.
Being from Louisiana, I couldn't vote for either of these to buffoons in their respective political races. Most of Jindal's war chest for his re-election campaign has come from supporters from other states. He has not done much of anything in the state of Louisiana, except cut healthcare and education. And from what I've seen from Perry, he hasn't the sense to lead a bunch of goats across the plains, much less a whole nation. he's filled Texas with minimum wage jobs, and empty prayers for rain and economic health while his state burns from wild fires and is going deeper and deeper into an abyss of a deficit. You actually want this man as the POTUS????????
ONE QUESTION: What percentage of jobs created in Texas, since 2009, were public sector, not private?
I like Gov Perry. However, Obama has done so much damage that the next President of our nation is going to have to be a smart, savvy, tough, problem solver, able to stand up to the special interests. That person is Gov Chris Christie of NJ. It will require a huge sacrifice from Gov Christie and his family, but the nation needs that sacrifice like never before. I think Gov Christie is a true patriot and will make the sacrifice The nation truly needs Gov Christie! Christie / Rubio 2012!!!!
Reason #200 why I'm proud I voted the way I did in 2008, and why I'm voting for Obama AGAIN in 2012. None of the GOP candidates have ANYONE who is even halfway decent enough to run, since all they know how to do is argue and fight amongst each other. A party with no sense of solidarity is a broken party. There's no way any of these candidates can even come close to winning, even after they win the nomination. Obama 2012!
For an outspoken critic of President Obama, he must really want to see him back in the White House after making an endorsement like that. Just goes to prove what I've always said, who gives a toss what Bobby Jindal has an opinion on. He sure doesn't have any problem taking Federal money when that earthen bowl New Orleans gets flooded. Didn't bother to turn down stimulus money either.
Jindal has NEVER endorsed a winning candidate. He probably wants Perry to lose.
I too will endorse Perry
I thought Jindal had some thoughtful thinking . But looks like not. That is why he is done with LA governor. May be Perry can pick him for VP.
