Even though Jon Huntsman, Jr. stopped pretending not to run for president to become President Obama's ambassador to China, associates of the former Utah Governor say that he will return to the U.S. as a proud Republican and will probably try to position himself for a 2016 run. The thinking is that the GOP will have shaken off the willies by then and be ready to modernize. In any event, Sarah Palin has today called out Amb. Huntsman in a Tweet, which marks the first time, I believe, that Palin has referenced a fellow Republican and potential presidential aspirant in a provocative way. She's referring to reports that Assistant Sec. of State Michael Posner intended to admit to China that the United States's human rights record wasn't always exemplary, citing the Arizona immigration law is an example. This humility, apparently, is a way for the administration to ease into a discussion of China's human rights' record. Such is the outrage of the day for conservatives ... and even neutrally, comparing China's regular and brutal and unapologetic detention of political dissidents to the temporary detention of citizens caught without papers is ... a tough case to make. Here's Palin's Tweet:
AZ's pro-border security law invokes apology to China(w/its human rights violations)by U.S. State Dept;Surely Ambassador Huntsman disagrees?

BTW, where are the men who want to be President? Palin, Bachmann, other women CONSISTENTLY have been on the attack
Modernize? That is a new way to describe moving left.
I’d suggest he push back to 2020, then. 2016 could potentially be...awkward, if you know what I mean.
This Huntsman cat always struck me as a little too connected with the lib whisper media.
Palin is still going after the Rinos.
(((((((((Ping)))))))))
ya know,, I'm starting to think of MRS Palin as a defensive line backer. She can stop the run up the middle or intervene an end run! I love this woman!
I bet she will be there for the fumble!!!!
Palin, Bachmann, Ingram, Malkin, Coulter, etc. Conservative women have the testicles most Republican men lack.
Return as a proud Republican? Proud of what? Playing for team Obama? Get outta here, buster!
Go get him, momma Grizzly!
Pre-emptive 2012 strike on a RINO with a single tweet. And they say she’s not running. LMAO.
I will only vote for a fellow grunt... no more country club, manicured... bathed in Lilac water castroti for me. I will not vote for another liberal cowboy again either. After listening to the “real Laura Bush”... I now understand Bush's support of amnesty, open borders, big government spending, No Child Left Behind, all the way through TARP and the bailouts. Even his hand picked people are more at home in obama’s administration that Bush own. From now on... it is the REAL DEAL or NO DEAL!

Amen!
I volunteer to push the wheelbarrow around with her stones in it.
Liz Cheney is pushing the gay power agenda, along with the rest of her family, she also worked for Mitt Romney.
“One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.”
Sincerely, W. Mitt Romney
I agree!
That’s just Ambinder being a media lib.

Crap... there goes another one. I guess she and Laura spent a lot of time together sharing their ideology... but Liz is dead on on 99% of things... sad sad sad!

The Cheney family has come out as social liberals.
Dick Cheney is pushing for homosexuals in the military now.
