OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Thursday had a tough message for fellow Republicans who were wrestling with how to fund the Homeland Security Department: "Grow a spine."

Jindal spoke as House Republicans were considering a short-term funding fix to prevent a partial agency shutdown. To party activists huddled near Washington at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Jindal lashed out at a potential reversal of campaign pledges to derail President Barack Obama's immigration overhaul.

"We elected these Republicans. They told us that if we gave them the Senate majority, they would stand up to this unconstitutional and illegal act," said Jindal, who is considering a bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

Jindal suggested Republicans who kept control of the House and captured the majority in the Senate last November's elections were caving to Obama.

1. Is he supposed to be green?

[TygrBright]

4. Stand him next to Boehner to adjust the color rendering on your monitor... n/t

[The Roux Comes First]

5. You Beaat Me To It

I was going to remind us of the color wheel. Stare into the orange too long and you might see green.

[jmowreader]

7. The color rendering on my monitor is perfectly fine.

The color rendering on Bobby Jindal is a different story. MAC Studio Tech is your friend, Piyush...

[Thinkingabout]

2. If they grew a spine they would not be listening to the likes of Jindal.

[Zorro]

3. He's looking like a zucchini these days

You Republicans take a listen to the human zucchini now!

[Thor_MN]

6. STFU, Piyush.

Don't you have a state to run? Last I heard, it is going down the tubes just like all the states run by Repub govs that think they have a shot at the White House. Prove that you can run a state before thinking you can run all of them.

BTW, that's R.U.N, not ruin.

8. $1.6 Billion down the tubes for Louisiana. Nice deficit hole Jindal dug.

He might notice if he spent two days in a row in Baton Rouge

9. They should grow a brain instead

This is a battle they cannot win and they know it. What is the point? The best case scenario is to shut down the DHS for a couple or three weeks, and then cave. The worst case scenario is for a terrorist attack to occur while they are playing their silly game.

Either way, they lose.

[Demeter]

12. Better yet: Save Democracy and a Whole Lot of Dough

Shut it down permanently and put the subgroups back where they used to be.

[Hulk]

10. Oh, this milk-toast turd is just what we need in the White House...

...to go along with the bat-shit crazy ted cruz, mike lee, rand paul, and a half dozen other just-as-fookin'-stupid loons that the repuKKKes have roaming the halls of the Senate today. I won't even go into just how fookin' crazy they are over in the House. That place is the laughing stock of governing bodies around the world. We should be ashamed at what we have let our Congress devolve into. Disgusting, shameless fools.

11. When you look up the word Idiot

bobby jindal's face should appear
Does this idiot really think the rank and file pukes will vote for him? Not on your life, his life or anyone else's life will they

[NCjack]

13. Yeah, Rethugs -- grow a spine. Send the Prez a clean bill to fund DHS and clean bill for

immigration reform. That would be a real profile in courage.

[samsingh]

14. repugs need to first have a brain
