Vitter hanging with hookers did not bother me.

What bothered me was him and his cronies running on the "anti-hooker family values" propaganda they run on all the time.

Hypocrites.

I don't mind folks better than me talking shite about me; I mind those who are just as sorry as me talking shite about me.

This x1000. Government is not just budget. They pass legislation that effects people's lives on a personal level. When Vitter would tell me avout being pro family, pro life, and pro Christian but would not even own to fricking a hooker, he lost me.

And this board can downvote me to hell but unless these mainstream views are part of a LA GOP audit, JBE will win re election.

And this personally affects your life how?

It may be hypocritical but I couldn't give two shits about it if no crime was committed and/or any tax dollars was abused.

And I'm someone who's not very religious myself as I'm an easter Sunday and christmas type of christian.

That's fine and all but it's up to you to make peace with the price of our wallets getting a whole lot lighter, more red tape on everything and jobs and economic capital being chased out of this state to appease that sanctimonious rage.

Uh budget is just pretty much the only tangible effect that legislation from the government has an effect on you and we are seeing that plain as day every day JBE is in office.

The rest is just glittering generalities and feel good nonsense that has no effect on my life.

I don't care what you preach and do behind closed doors, just stop stealing money from me, stop putting red tape on everything and leave me alone.

frick yeah I'm angry.

Especially after seeing people insist on rationalizing that they're completely ok with a chief executive who wants the Illinois and California model of governance for Louisiana despite knowing in their minds that's not what what they should support at all.

No wonder people want to leave this state when this kind of ignorance is absolutely rampant here.

Louisiana government has structural problems that no D or R can fix. Infrastructure is shite. Economy is a one horse pony. Until there is a constitutional convention nothing will ever get better.

I predict that 2018 will not be good for the Edwards political machine.

I'm certain the Republican leadership in the House and Senate will be putting forth a convention call any day now.....

They wont, they like the constitution prohibiting any
cutting to their revenue streams.

To call for a convention 2/3s of each body of the legislature must do so.
Republicans would require Democrat help to pull one off.

If the Republicans in the House would agree to reduce the roughly $1 billion a year Louisiana spends in tax expenditures/subsidies to big business, that would go a long way to re- establishing fiscal stability. For example, one of those tax expenditures is the ludicrous tax credit businesses in Louisiana get from the state to the tune of $500 million a year to reimburse them for the inventory tax the parishes charge them at the end of the year. The parishes get the benefit, but the state foots the bill...ridiculous. But do the Republicans in the House even consider at least reducing this subsidy, let alone eliminating it? No.

And if it wasn't for the fact that we had that rightwing moron, Bobbie Jindal, in office for eight years fricking up the state budget, the fiscal mess JBE is having to deal with currently wouldn't be nearly has bad.

And Republicans who helped put that moron, Bobbie Jindal, in office for eight years are complete idiots. The fiscal mess the state is currently dealing with is largely due to that overgrown child Jindal's fiscal mismanagement and incompetence.

Jindal didn't do a good job overall, but through hook and crook he managed things without massive tax increases. He did have favorable oil prices, but now with oil sputtering all Edwards can do is raise taxes a lot even though La. is in economic trouble.
