Full text: Bobby Jindal�s dynamite speech to the Republican National Committee in Charlotte
Let me warn you in advance that I plan to talk big picture here tonight, and I plan to say some things that may challenge your assumptions.
You may not agree with all of it, but that�s ok, ours is a party that can handle real discussions.
And now, after losing two Presidential elections in a row, is certainly the time for some candid discussion.
I. America is not the federal government.
The first concept I want to talk about is simply this � America is not the federal government.
Take a minute to let that thought sink in. America is not the federal government.
In fact, America is not much about government at all. In America, government is one of those things you have to have, but you sure don�t want too much of it�kind of like your in-laws.
This is of course the polar opposite of the political debate in our country today.
At present we have one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can expand it, and one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can get it under control.
It�s a terrible debate, it�s a debate fought entirely on our opponents� terms.
A debate about which party can better manage the federal government is a very small and shortsighted debate.
If our vision is not bigger than that, we do not deserve to win.
Just wow! Reassuring that we have people of that caliber moving up the ranks.
