A RINO goes CHINO

Obama will next appoint Miss Romney to head up his council of psychical tightness. The only real Republican left standing after the RINO’s sell out: Sarah. 2012. Can’t come soon enough.

You continue to act like there’s a choice in the matter. But there’s not. The most you can do in the formerly GOP now is to help Mitt Romney and his hacks fool decent naive people and corral them for the next sell out.

Charlie Brown, Lucy’s promises aren’t true. As always, she WILL pull away the football. Every time.

Good riddance to a liberal governor. Now if all the other RINOS would leave.

I wish Obama would offer something to Rick Perry so that we could get rid of him.

The lieutenant governor will take over until election time....maybe he will run since he sounds like a conservative.

Thank goodness Huntsman is ‘gone Johnson.’

Sure SuerDell is a nut but he is not a COMMIE-RINO

This is right out of the Saul Alinsky playbook. Huntsman was viewed as a potential strong opponent in 2012. Now he has been eliminated. Every move that Obama makes is a political move. Another example, the Gregg nomination for Commerce secretary was just another way of eliminating an opponent in the Senate.Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals takes the soft approach towards ones political enemies using friendly tactics instead of confrontation. Its a form of Marxism light. Before you know it you have been taken over by a bloodless revolution. Obama is slick and crafty.

Any Republican who asks the party to go “moderate”, ie liberal, is a phony in my book. I don’t much care for Huntsman and even less so for the appointment.

Taranto is a RINO. He is pro-amnesty and attacks “brothers.”

Taranto is a RINO. He is pro-amnesty and attacks “bithers.” I used to like his columns.

Cantor is another RINO.

Orrin G. Hatch was called “very conservative” in 1976, but it didn’t take long for him to “grow in office”.

Indeed. Pat Buchanan was called “very conservative” before he became a anti-Semite.

Gals and Fellers, this guy is a RINO's RINO. Makes Romney actually look good almost!

From poltics1.com

"In a major surprise, President Obama will announce Saturday that he has selected two-term Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. (R) to be the next US Ambassador to China. Huntsman, who previously served as US Ambassador to Singapore during the Bush-43 Administration, speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese and has an adopted daughter from China. The billionaire business scion -- a Mormon and father of seven -- has also become an outspoken leader of the centrist faction of the Republican Party in recent months, as Huntsman was seemingly preparing to make a 2012 run for President. Huntsman is pro-life but supports same-sex civil unions and has criticized the Obama stimulus package ... for not being big enough. He has asserted that the Republican Party must significantly change on gay and environmental issues to win the support of voters under age 40 -- or the party will have no political future."

Congrats Utah, you're rid of the SOB. He's deranged if he thinks he can win the 2012 nomination, doesn't he know you have to at least fake being a conservative to do that?
