  That jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN) are also hosted in spiral galaxies
is now well established. Our understanding of how such objects might fit in the
radio loud AGN subclass has been described by Foschini and others over the past
decade in that jets in spirals are weaker than those of radio galaxies and
quasars because the black holes in spirals tend to be less massive. Recent
data, however, may be pointing to a different picture which we describe. Unlike
powerful jetted AGN in ellipticals, we illustrate from model perspectives,
features of jets in spirals responsible for limiting both their power as well
as their effect on their host galaxies. AGN triggered by secular processes fail
to generate jet re-orientation, a key ingredient in the jetted AGN feedback
mechanism in merger-triggered ellipticals that leads to the red-and-dead radio
galaxies at low redshift such as M87. As a result, jetted AGN in spirals tend
to live in a separate part of the parameter space compared to radio galaxies
and quasars. Because of the absence of jet reorientation and due to the
relatively short-lived jet phases, jetted AGN in spirals are best compared to
radio quiet or jetless AGN than any other jetted AGN subclass.
