31. You fail to be civil at every opportunity. You go out of your way to be a jerk.
And you do it eagerly.

FWIW, I don't "bash."

I engage in political commentary--NOT idol worship.

You might try it sometime.

"Devil's Advocate" commentary is useful to people who aren't Kool Aid drinkers or worshipful fools. You are overconfident, as well as rude.

You can whine that "four months is NOT relevant" but he's going into his SIXTH month, and He will be in his NINTH before they announce the nominee's name. And so far, he's well received. There's enough "there" there to suit those who say "Some is better than NONE."

And Jindal satisfies a bunch of other demographics, too. He's highly educated. Ivy league. Rhodes scholar. He's CATHOLIC. He's a 'minority' which pleases some. He's southwest Asian, and that's helpful in some demos, too. He's the child of immigrants, an American success story. If he is chosen, it is cause for concern.
