Jindal: ‘I’d Like to See a More Principled Conservative Approach’ from Republicans

‘We’d like to see more results’

BLITZER: “More recently you said the Republicans must stop being the party of no, and you said, in February, you said, Republicans on Capitol Hill -- and I'm quoting you now – ‘are Democrat-lite.’ Has that changed?” 

JINDAL: “Well, I'm still -- I'm one of the Republican voters that's very frustrated. We were told if they got majority, we'd see all these big changes. We haven't seen those changes. I would like to see the Republicans fighting for school choice. I'd like to see them fighting for more domestic energy production on federal land, federal waters. I'd like to see them fighting harder to reign in the EPA. I'd like to see them fight harder to invest in our military and shrink the size of the federal government before it swallows our economy and turns the American dream into the European nightmare. So I'm one of those frustrated Republican voters who gave them the majority in the Senate. They kept the majority in the House. We'd like to see more results. You know, this is a Republican Party that told us, if we gave them a majority, they were going to stand up to amnesty, they were going to stand up to Obamacare, they were going to stand up to the out-of-control spending. I'd like to see more -- I'd like to see a more principled conservative approach in D.C.”
