Conservatives have been searching through the records and statements of the leading presidential candidates desperately hoping to find evidence that will allow them to persuade themselves -- at least through next November -- that one of these candidates is a credible and reliable member of their movement who can be trusted with the leadership of their party.
They are looking in the wrong place.
Jindal was elected governor of Louisiana on October 20, 2007 to become the first Indian-American to lead a U.S. state. Forget the facsimiles, fakers and campaign-trail converts stumping Iowa and New Hampshire these days. If you want to find a truly conservative leader for the Republican Party of tomorrow, look south. He is getting ready to be inaugurated governor of Louisiana.
Rep. Bobby Jindal, elected governor of Louisiana on Saturday, is the real thing. He has never run to the left of Teddy Kennedy. He has never lobbied for Planned Parenthood. He has never advocated government recognition of same-sex unions. He has never called for amnesty for illegal aliens. He has never advocated raising taxes. He is a straight-up conservative: unhyphenated, unadulterated and uncorrupted.
