ROMNEY - Huntsman’s Reaction a Problem
Huntsman, ...Because we needed a Republican who was left of Barry.
Well, let’s get Huntsman as the next ambassador to Libya and then he can show us how things should be done there.

“Who cares what this jackass thinks? Hes less relevant than Charlie Crist.”
The media needs another RINO media suckup. John McCain getting a bit old.
Being a former Ambassador, Hunstman has ceded his b@ll$ in favor of “tact” and “nuance”. He is incapable of understanding what pure naked truth, and its implications are all about. He thinks Romney should have pulled a Chamberlain like the rest of the Administration. Romney did educate folks - he hinted that sometimes, to put all the pieces back together again, one needs to break a few thongs and make more pieces.
And who are you to Judge?
And who are you to Judge?
Who am I to judge? I am a citizen. Public figures are fair game. Huntsman with his combination of holier than thou smarm and his political establishment contempt for the mass of average Americans makes me want to vomit. His old man bought him his political career and goes around ranting about anyone who says anything untoward about sonny boy. Are you perhaps one of the old man’s flunkies or just a Ute who is very much impressed by wealthy LDS types.?
There is bad blood towards the Romneys by the Huntsmans. Jon Huntsman Jr. is an elitist of the worst sort. He thinks Mitt Romney shouldn’t have been in the limelight; he should have been. He thinks he is a foreign policy expert because of his experience as Ambassador to China and the fact that he can speak Chinese (he was appointed by Obama so that should tell you something about Huntsman right there). Jon Huntsman the younger is quite liberal and is politically ambitious and thinks Mitt isn’t as qualified as he is.
The bad blood goes back to the Winter Olympics held in Utah years ago where Mitt Romney was brought in to save it from financial ruin, which he did. Jon Huntsman the younger was also in contention for that position, but Mitt was chosen, not Jon, to fix the Olympics. Jon Huntsman was ticked off about this bigtime and the grudge remains.
When Mitt ran for Prez the first time, it was expected Huntsman the younger would support Mitt in the primaries. Mitt and Jon, both Mormons, are distantly related (3rd cousins, once removed). Jon didn’t, he supported John McCain instead. Jon’s father initially worked on Mitt’s campaign. He quit after his son threw his support to McCain, and after that the ties between the two Mormon families were basically severed.
Bottom line, Mitt and Jon don’t like each other, although Mitt doesn’t badmouth Jon, but Jon does badmouth Mitt any chance he gets. He’s a nasty, elitist piece of work, and if Mitt Romney actually gets in to run for Prez in 2016, odds are Jon Huntsman will then jump in also to further pursue his animosity and rivalry towards Mitt. This is the background filler for the Romney and Huntsman families and the basis of the rivalry between them.
Thanks for taking the time to post this enlightening comment. I believe you are correct about JH being an inflated elitist gasbag with a huge sense of entitlement.
