Last time I looked, none of them were advocating proposed laws or new Constitutional Amendments by virtue of their power as an elected member of Congress or the Administrative branch.

Last time I checked, both McCain and Jindal were. To be more specific, although it is a given that both sides are pursuing their agendas - as is their right and sometimes their obligation - I think that the American political world is currently experiencing a backlash against what is perceived (rightly or wrongly) as the Fundamentalist Christian Republican Right seeking to impose a wide range of beliefs upon the electorate, and that the recent democratic victories are a repudiation of that dynamic.

I think that the country swung too much to the left in the 70s and that the pendulum swung back toward the right, too far to the right by mid-2000, and that we are, generally, swinging back toward the middle again.

To the extent that it is my personal belief that the electorate is indeed in that kind of a mood, it is also my personal belief that moderates and independents will not be happy with a Rick Santorum clone like Jindal. I think that Jindal would hurt McCain for the reason that the country is tired of social conservative/neo-con philosophy.

I may be wrong. But I was not in any way saying that the Republicans have the exclusive right to telling people how to run their lives. They just choose different laws to shove down our throats than the democrats. They both do it, only the other guys force feeding us is less palatable than ours because of our individual beliefs.
