He’s also given to Rangle and Daschle...mostly Republican’s. He’s a heck of a philanthropist though.90 mm here 40mm there 10 mm over there...

The situation with Huntsman reminds me of the similarities to McCain’s. Both came up from a rather obscure bundle of POTUSA wannabes. Both are internationalists. Both have made adoring remarks as to Obama. McCain tells the little old lady in Colorado(?) after taking the mic from her that Obama is a good man and would make a good POTUSA. Huntsman says Obama is a good father who loves the USA and is a good policy maker except Obama has gone in the wrong direction. I take Huntsman as a shill for the same cabal that lifted McCain from the political ashes. I’ve not heard Huntsman so far say anything that he believes the Constitution is this Nation’s guiding principle, instead he just repeats what other people have already pointed out about present conditions and puts his spin as to the happenings but no substantial action for reversal of Obama policies.

I am unable to decide who I despise more, the democrats or the establishment Republicans. They are statists the lot of them which explains why the establishment Republicans just can't wait to “reach across the aisle” or are unable to bring themselves to be mean to poor ole Obama. They have no problem fundamentally with Obama’s policies. Their problem is that they are not the one’s in charge of implementing them.

Let's be civil!!! OK Mr. Huntsman, you be civil as the left and the Chicago machine are ripping you apart and you can surpass McCain as the biggest loser. Obama is purposefully ripping the country apart and you want to tell us how nice he is. You have already handicapped yourself. Now all the MSM has to do is label any criticism leveled at Obama’s policies as “personal attacks” and you will back down.

Thanks, but I will pass on playing the latest round of the “nominate a eunuch” game. There is no way the MSM and the establishment RINO’s are going to choose our candidate for us this cycle.

Huntsman - LaHood 2012!

In my view, Jon Huntsman was never a viable Republican presidential nomination candidate. He is just muddying the water in the upcoming primaries so they are loaded with RINOs. I assume his funding will quickly evaporate and he’ll get out. The sooner, the better.

[iopscusa]

But, but he is mucho better than that Palin chick....Demopublicans are all the same.

[izzatzo]

They certainly do, and I’ll second your tagline.

Bear in mind, Reid is/was loved in the rural areas of Nevada, and perhaps this spills over to Utah.

So I don’t see this as black and white. Apparently Reid fights off the federal EPA on behalf of area mining companies. This alone may be the reason he’s supported.

Mormons usually stick together and support each other. Always have, always will. I know a few Mormons who are Sarah Palin fans, but they'll be the first to admit they'd pick Romney over her in the primaries. They told me it was due to experience, etc., but I get the feeling it's really a Mormon thing since if they believed that Palin didn't have the experience, they wouldn't be fans of hers.

You got that right.

[mc5cents]

I agree. More like a guy building a bomb in his basement who blows himself up.

I simple terms: lds trumps all.

May not mean anything about the subject of the puff piece, but it says something about the show...

Just like when he introduces, "My very good friend, the reverend Al Sharpton".

[Utah Binger]

I know many apostate Mormons whose eyes glaze over at the mention of Romney and are in as much denial regarding that as they are about Mormonism itself. I also think there is a whispering going on right now about the baby boy Huntsman and his so called apostasy.(I don’t believe it but the murmuring has started.)

The pandering in priesthood meeting is all about the mittster so I’ve been told. Cannot prove it as I haven’t set foot in there for forty five years.

I have started the promotion for Sarah in Southern Utah and will be putting up posters and flyers all over the place the minute she says yes.

A proud Apostate.
