You really have to wonder why a Congressman who has been a House committee chair, who has introduced legislation to save Social Security that was scored by the Social Security Actuary to reduce spending by $8,3 Trillion, can be left out of, not just the debates, but the polls that are citted to get you IN the debates.

Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsmann is a liberal Republican who does everything but bend over for the Communist Chinese. His poll numbers stink, but he's always included in the debates. Thad McCotter was the MOST critical of all the candidates when it comes to our dealings with the Communist Chinese. McCotter's out, Huntsmann stays. Please read the accompanying article to get a brief look at what the public missed in the debates.

For crying out loud, McCotter just endorsed Romney.

Lesser-known pols usually have to show up in open-ended questions early in the campaign before they are listed for voters explicitly. Also, many House members are chairs of such and such a committee. Finally, obnoxious as he is, Huntsman has had the funding and hired the staff to stay in the race—McCotter had really done neither.

Didn’t McCotter run over to endorse Mitt moments after he quit? Most people didn’t even know he was in the race.
What was that all about? Money from Mitt? Another Romney stalking horse?

His “conservative” credentials have to be seriously questioned.

McCotter endorsed Romney. That is all that need be said.

So far in this primary run-up, McCotter was the single most slimed, and under-rated Republican. He is someone we will be seeing more of, count on that.

On the other hand, Huntsman turns out to have been a complete. Total. Meaningless marshmallow. What a waste of air.

Bring back McCotter, dump Huntsman.

McCotter was GREAT in opposing TARP, but he later supported the theft of our tax dollars by Government Motors and the UAW Labor Mob and proposed a ridiculous bill to make pet care expesnes tax deductible.

He is good spokesperson, with a great sense of humor, and strong on some issues, but he is not a real conservative.
