Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is calling Mitt Romney's comments that
he lost to President Barack Obama because of gifts, "absolutely wrong".
The former Republican presidential candidate made the comment Wednesday while on the phone with top donors.
Romney said the president's campaign focused on things like free contraceptives to woo young women and amnesty for children of illegal immigrants to push Hispanics to the polls.
One of Romney's biggest supporters, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal doesn't agree.
"I absolutely reject that notion, that description. I think that's absolutely wrong. I don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party. That has got to be one of the most fundamental takeaways from this election."
Jindal added in order for the GOP to be "competitive," it has to quote: "go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote."
Jindal's criticism seemed to take a swipe at Romney's "47-percent" comments earlier this year, when he was taped saying nearly half of Americans were "victims" who were "dependent" on the government.

As a citizen of Louisiana I believe that votes were bought here, it just didn't pay off as well as they hoped.
