COLUMBIA, S.C. -- While Rick Perry makes an all-out sprint in Iowa, he’s keeping a hand in South Carolina by releasing a robo-call featuring Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is campaigning for Perry in the Hawkeye State.
In the call, acquired from sources within the Perry campaign, Jindal says Perry’s campaign is “finishing strong in Iowa,“ adding that Perry is a “consistent conservative who will completely overhaul Washington” and who “is not afraid to tell the truth about the danger our country is in.”
“South Carolina can make sure that we have a conservative nominee. I believe Rick Perry is the strong conservative we need,” Jindal continues on the 23-second robo call.
Jindal, a fellow southern governor with a high national profile, hit the trail with Perry in Iowa last week, at one point correcting the Texas governor about details in his tax plan.
Listen to the audio here. The full script of call:
Hi, this is Governor Bobby Jindal. I’ve been on the road with Rick Perry in Iowa where his campaign is finishing strong. Governor Perry is a consistent conservative who will completely overhaul Washington. Rick Perry is not afraid to tell the truth about the danger our country is in. South Carolina can make sure that we have a conservative nominee. I believe Rick Perry is the strong conservative we need. Paid for by Rick Perry.org, Inc.

I wonder if he sounds as exciting as his 2009 rebuttal of our President’s address to Congress.
LMAO Dennis!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
The Chucky Cheese mascot is about as exciting as watching ice freeze!
Poor Bobby, he looks like he got beat up a lot in school.
Rick Perry is sewing the Republican Party of Virginia, claiming that precedents set in federal courts should override Virginia's laws.
Is this the same Rick Perry that is all about States’ rights?
Yes, Dennis, the very same. The guy who insists that abstinence only sex ed is effective, depite the fact that Texas continues to have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates. Speaking of education, he's in favor of teaching creationism in science classes. He changed his stance on illegals after drawing heat from the Tea Party Lunatic Fringe. And he's parading around with the clown sheriff from Arizona - you know, the guy who thought Iowa was the Buckeye state!
He needs to post his birth certificate, as he was not conceived in this country. So Jingle Jankgle, dumb F er, prove you are a citizen of this country. And also Sarah, 1/2 governor, where is Trig's birth certificate?
Jindal? Who? So a dweebie nobody throws his support behind a fourth-rate nobody. Look out Monty Python, this GOP clown convention is getting more laughable by the day.
How much is 2 times zero?................
(Perry + Jindahl) X 0 = .....wait for it....... 0
The fact that Louisiana continues to elect corrupt buffoons like Jindal, is the very reason Louisiana will always be a burden on the rest of this country.
Where is his birth certificate?
Wanna guarantee I won't vote for a politician? Start robo-calling me.
U got that Right...
...and he'll throw a parade for our troops coming home from Iraq!
Sorry, the bloom came off Jindal's rose 3 years ago. Wasn't Bobby the little darling of the GOP once upon a time?
"I’ve been on the road with Rick Perry in Iowa where his campaign is finishing strong."
I guess Governor Bobby didn't see the poll in the thread just before this one, where Perry is currently at 11%. In what parallel universe does being 5 points behind even Rick Santorum constitute "finishing strong"?
Perry is even behind Santorum!!! Now that's just sad.
Santorum has the only clean butt left ... did I say that ... moving on ...
Hello ideo,
[Santorum has the only clean butt left ... did I say that ... moving on ...]
...yes...moving on...
That being said, as far as Santorum's butt being "clean", there is that lingering, nagging story of how Rick and his wife brought their stillborn son home for a macabre "photo op" with the family... I mean really...
Hey Mickey ... I bet Perry videotaped it for them.
Obviously little bobby is none to bright supporting a known moron. With the stands Perry has taken and the comments he has made during the course of this campaign one would think people would be running for the hills as fast as they could to get away from Perry.
Well, no need to run for the hills. Perry doesn't stand a chance, fortunately. And Perry will have to return to Texas, where he will have to confront us for his changes in ideologies in his desparate attempt to pander to the Tea Party Lunatic fringe.
Santorum, LOL!! Remember how embarrassing it was having that idiot represent PA in the Senate?
I hate InSantorum..........
JK from PA - Are you kidding? It was even more embarrassing than having George W. Bush representing the USA to the rest of the world. Well, no, come to think of it.....I'd have to rate that as a toss-up!
Jindal, a fellow southern governor with a high national profile, hit the trail with Perry in Iowa last week, at one point correcting the Texas governor about details in his tax plan.
Rick Perry: still doesn't get it, still needs help even with his own tax plan.
He should take a tip from Palin and write it on his hand.
Well there he goes. I thought that Loosiana Bobby would make a good Veep choice for the GOP but now I'm not so sure. It seems he has picked the wrong horse in this race.
Bobby made an awful lot of money when he replaced Kathleen Blanco, who did nothing when Katrina hit the coast. Bush had to force FEMA to get off their dead asses and go down there. We all know how many weeks that took. Between Bush, Blanco and Nagle, NO didn't have a chance.
Things haven't improved since I was there in 2007, in fact, I just read an article stating that the murder rate has gone through the roof. I guess the criminal element who transplanted to other cities after the disister have returned.
I have a very pretty vision in my mind Jindahl and Perry kissing their hosses mounting them and riding off to Brokeback Mountain. Enjoy yall,lmao.
this makes perfect. who else do they have that can imatate a robot to such perfection?
So what influence does a muslim looking brownish immigrant have over the racist xenophobic intolorent voters of the GOP?
So moron # 2 is working for moron # 1. Big deal.
How dare any of you for second guessing EssoKochs selection of corporate whores to make sure Louisiana stays at the bottom of most good lists?
Bobby Jindal, Perry robot. Kind of breaking the first law of robotics by pushing Perry for President.
Really, who cares what little Bobby thinks, or even whether he thinks? He can annoy the people of Iowa with his robo-calls if he wants. Meanwhile, Perry can continue waltzing around the state with his new-found toadie, the clueless clown sheriff from Arizona, who insults Iowans by calling them Buckeyes. Dumb and Dumber.
jingle jangle and scarry perry...did we ever see a copy of jingles birth certificate, Ive been suspicious of him and John Mccain since the teabuggers started the birther nonsense...
As a citizen of the state of Louisiana this really ticks me off. Bobby Jindal has spent the majority of his term in office traveling around the country campaigning. His campaign fund is astromonical, yet he insists that he is not interested in campaigning for elected office outside of the state of Louisiana. Bobby Jindal was shown on television yesterday standing next to Rick Perry in Iowa. Bobby Jindal has done nothing for our state except programs and cut education while he builds his campaign war chest. It would be interesting to know who is paying for his trips across the country to support Republican candidates. I sure hope it is not the state of Louisiana.
Jindal and Perry? So, if sees as though the Beavis & Butthead duo of Perry and Arpaio have grown to the Three Stooges. How sad.
Nola girl; I agree what is Jindal doing to control the corrupt levy board, regulate drilling in the gulf, and control crime in New Orleans. I'm from Louisiana and will one day along with the rest of this country get tired of footing the bill to bail Louisiana out.
COW PATTY PERRY!
Texas peanuts suck!
Buy Virginia peanuts instead!!!!!
REJECT.
REJECT.
REJECT.
Ship his butt back to Texas and let them secede!
For my sons!
For my sons!
For my sons!
The fact that Louisiana continues to elect corrupt buffoons like Jindal, is the very reason Louisiana will always be a burden on the rest of this country.
Before he started supporting Perry, I had a lot of respect for Jindal. He appeared to be a bright, honest and a good man. Maybe I thought too quickly. Jindal's support of Perry is an extremely smart political move for Louisiana. Clearly, Perry hasn't a chance, but Jindal will be remembered by Perry and Texas resources will be focused on Louisiana whenever Jindal needs them. Resources are not the kind out of state coffers, but 'ol boy links that can get things done. Problem is that the 'ol boys eventually need to get paid off for their ' kind gestures and good will' and that is where things started to wrong for Louisiana in the first place and why Louisiana is considered one of the most corrupt states in the US. Perry is not a very smart guy and that has been made pretty obvious; Jindal is.
I live in Louisiana now but I am not a native. I'm also an agnostic leaning towards atheistic liberal. I'm registered as a Democrat but in truth I'm a Utopian Socialist. Alas, we all know that never works like it is supposed to work so... Obviously I am everything that the average Southern Republican Christian abhors and I agree with practically nothing that they espouse. I don't live in New Orleans and I'm quite successfully self-employed which I add here lest you start screaming "project dwelling welfare mother" at me. I don't bother to vote in local/state elections because a) the choice is generally the devil or the witch and b) I don't plan to be here much longer and therefore, don't care. All that is prelude to this...I did respect Bobby Jindal who, although a horrible public speaker, I believed to be an intelligent and less than vile politician UNTIL he threw his lot in with that Texas prototype of cliched Southern idiocy. And I agree that it was done solely in service to the "good ole boy" network. I do wonder what it is that Louisiana/Jindal wants from Texas in payment. Whatever it is, it must be pretty valuable because I imagine that in private Jindal is nauseous at the very thought of Perry. At least I hope he is. If he's not, my radar is waaaay off. Which I'm sure someone here will point out to me post haste.
spikey, perhaps it's much simpler than that - it could just be a case of a sudden impulse to commit political suicide. Or maybe it's just a shot at getting some publicity, like the clueless clown sheriff from Arizona who has also become a toady for Perry. Not to worry though - Perry is a loser.
As it stands, the evengelicals are besides themselves in Iowa. This is not like 2008 - there are too many GOP candidates who have jumped on the Jesus bandwagon (How many claimed God told them to run?), which will fragment the Jesus-Freak bloc like the ice sheet on Greenland. Romney is in the driver's seat, even though today's headlines suggest he's running neck and neck with Ron Paul, another (eventual) loser. Perry and Bachman are history - they just don't know it yet.
Rick and Bobby, the real life "Dumb and Dumber."
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the Republican party for putting on this marvelous show, not only once but many times, of your candidates, where every one of them has proven by their comments about each other, that none of them are qualified or deserve to be elected.
You handled this as well as your decision to invade Iraq and to deregulate the financial industry.
You guys are good. For Nothing.
To me it is not the fact that this guy can put you to sleep just by speaking. It is the fact that he was presented in 2009 as the 'big new thing' being groomed for the WH by the repugnicrites.
When he tanked, they rebooted and this year have replaced him with Christ Christie.......mark my words, he is the man for 2016(if he does not drop dead first)...bought and paid for by the Kochs. They have quite a while to get the skeletons out of his closet...and there are plenty.
Poor little Bobby Jindal....you can't fix lack of charisma without dropping out of politics.....just ask Al Gore.
L&P, You should really specify when you're using sarcasm ;)
If you are a liberal like me, you have to kinda wonder what the GOP is up to. I mean, it's well known that they Say they don't like educated people. Why? Because educated people think for themselves, color outside the lines, don't like to be controlled. The GOP field seems to be a consortium of "de" educated candidates who are dumbing themselves down for the sake of the lowest common denominator of their party. They hope voters will vote for "Stupid" instead of "Intelligent."
All robo-calls svck! I would like to pledge not to vote for anyone who robo-calls me, but that might mean I would have to vote for an incumbent, which is worse.
Not to worry. Between Jindal's annoying Robo calls and Arpaio insulting the natives by calling them Buckeyes, Perry is going down in flames.
