RALEIGH, N.C. -- Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Wednesday the Republican Party needs to stop worrying about fixing itself and start worrying about fixing the nation as he traveled from his home state to rally conservatives and project his vision for the country.

The rising GOP star, who has demurred at speculation he'll run for president in 2012, touted his work in Louisiana on sex offenders and corruption during a speech in Raleigh but also spoke on national issues more suited for a presidential candidate than a governor.

Jindal told reporters before his speech, titled America: An Agenda for the Future, that the nation needs to break its addiction to debt both in Washington and in households. He said the $900 billion economic stimulus plan moving through Congress will simply create more debt at a time when the nation needs less.

Instead, quoting from the Bible, Jindal said the nation's greatness came from its culture, although he warned that the nation was straying from its ideals. He said the nation needs to refine its culture, arguing that traits like greed have triggered the financial crisis.

3. Republicans = party first, country on down the list.

Top 10 Republican priorities:

1. Party first.

2. Push Religious beliefs on others.

3. Promote big business interests.

4. Focus on terror. (Supports #3.)

5. Obfuscate the real issues with fake ones.

6. Lie, and repeat it often enough and loud enough that some take it for the truth.

7. Tax cuts for the wealthy. (Average Americans get nothing, because they deserve nothing.)

8. Death, destruction and war are good for the world. Start a war on lies, if necessary.

9. Are tax cuts for the wealthy on this list?

10. Are you certain tax cuts for the wealthy are on this list?

America doesn't EVER need another Republican President or majority in Congress. EVER. They have proven over and over again what they are capable of, and it's not to the benefit of the majority of American citizens.

7. Gee, Bobby, did the suggestions that the GOP opeate as the Taliban does

make you nervous? Perhaps you have some sort of soul struggling to get out. come on over, bobby. the water is warm.

""Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban," Sessions (R) said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. "And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with.""
