Jindal: GOP must stop being 'stupid party' By STEVE PEOPLES and KEN THOMAS CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called on the Republican Party to "stop being the stupid party" on Thursday as GOP leaders promised fundamental changes to help stave off future losses. In the keynote address at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting, Jindal said the GOP doesn't need to change its values but "might need to change just about everything else we are doing." "We've got to stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults," he said. "We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. I'm here to say we've had enough of that." Jindal, thought to be a potential 2016 presidential contender, offered little detail in the 25-minute address. He called on conservatives to shift their focus from Capitol Hill number crunching to "the place where conservatism thrives - in the real world beyond the Washington Beltway."

He wants to eliminate Louisiana's income tax and rely solely on the sales tax.
Estimates are that the sales tax would increase from 4 to 7% -- a quarter-point below California's. Except in the parishes (counties) that levy additional local sales taxes. Chief among these is Orleans Parish, the city of New Orleans, with a 5% local tax. That would leave New Orleans with a 12% sales tax.  |

All these Rethuglicons think about is "damage to the brand." And the marketing attitude that "it's not what you say, it's how you say it."
