Jindal is a nut, and belongs in a mental institution.  In a padded cell right next to BRTD.

No. They belong at Gitmo. I can't want to see "Jindal and Zach escape from Guantanamo Bay". Tongue

Seriously, though. This guy might be the only person that doesn't know he's going to hell. Sorry for the blasphamy, God.

But what about Barack Obama is he a clean centrist politician with years upon years of experience?  

Yes, actually.  Even if you dispute his cleanliness or experience there is no doubt the man is a centrist.

Maybe with a global standard, but by American political standards he just emerged from a primary and thus shares very few centrist or Republican positions that would shift his overall ideology to be less liberal.  Most of his centrism is rhetorical.

I think his voting record places him as 15th or so most liberal by objective standards, thus not radical but not really center-left either, again by American standards.  My feeling is that you are comparing Obama to the average of international politicians, or possibly even just European ones, both of which would make him probably about a centrist since he supports some gun rights, supports Israel, claims to be willing to take unilateral action, etc. 

But this isn't Spain or Zimbabwe and I dispute your claim that the man is a centrist Wink!

Well, I think America is politically a microcasm of the world. Our politics are more progressive than the Global South's, where there is no public infrastructure, civil rights and abortion is prosecuted as murder. ...and more reactionary than Europe, because of their great public infrastructure, and lack of polarization or priority of social issues. That being said, Obama is probably a generic democrat (like what almost everyone here says about me) and McCain could be a generic Republican, like that red-headed Italian boy from Ohio on this forum. Then again, I'm not really sure about McCain. Sometimes he does come of as totally pragmatic and other times he comes of as ultra-conservative, if not reactionary.
