Why doesnt Bobby Jindal use his real name ?

Can't add to this take really. There is a lot policy wise that I don't agree with Christie on but I do respect that he is genuine, which frankly in his party is almost unique in recent history.

He was also smart enough to distance himself from the Romney-Ryan car crash by using a substantive issue, federal aid in the event of disaster. The Republicans made themselves look stupid, caught out by events, and uncaring all at the same time over that. People will remember that when the nomination comes around for 2016.

I would love to just ask him 2 questions which I think are fair game if he enters the race for 2016 president.
1) Why do you use a fake American sounding name instead of the one you were given at birth ?
2) What spiritual awakening prompted you to reject Hinduism and embrace modern Roman Catholicism ?

I do not feel it's off limits to ask a candidate about a religious conversion. It's something very few adults do, other than for reason of marriage.
A person who is ashamed of his name, ethnicity, and faith does not deserve to be an American citizen, let alone President.

Agreed. I always wondered about John McCain's religious conversion from Episcopalian (in which one recites the Apostle's Creed every Sunday) to Baptist (a sect that renounces the Creed). I should have liked to ask him exactly what he in particular had against the Creed.

[flabbybody]

trish, I understand Baptist objection to recital of Creed. But does going from one Protestant sect to another classify as a religious conversion?

[trish]

Certainly not the same as the move from Hindu to Catholic. At least the Episcopalians and the Baptists are both monotheistic!

As for the reason Baptists reject the Creed, I had to google that. Apparently they don't like the part where it says Jesus descended into to Hell and then ascended to Heaven. You have to admit, it would've been fun to hear McCain try to explain all that.
