This Huntsman doesn’t hunt. If he wants to run for President he should enter the Democrat Priamries where he belongs.

Nothing wrong with being Civil, it just doesn’t work on Democrats.

Civility doesn't work with RINOs either.

At the dentist's office yesterday, I was asked about my voice mail message. They thought it rather "unique", and asked me to clarify.

I think it's civil, and it goes like this: "You've reached the voice mail for "NHN". If you agree with me that true conservatism is the last best hope for this country, leave your name and number and I'll call you back."

"If not, then GOOD DAY AND GOOD LUCK!"

I’m presuming the Ubama mob stuck this stealth rat in the race to drain votes from Mittens?
I’m okay with that.

I don’t know how many of you saw his spech, but this guy is really “Boring”. He could probably put an audience to sleep faster than Pawlenty. I hear he is rich, but this guy could buy all the TV Ad space in the country and everybody would be running for the remote.

pledging to run a civil campaign and claiming that he and President Barack Obama both love the United States but have different visions of its future...

... and neither one of them are in it.

re: pledging to run a civil campaign

Code for not speaking the truth about your opposition. Didn’t work with McCain. Won’t work with this guy.

Much of what is happening now in the GOP “race” is intended to make Romney appear at least reasonable.

Just for poops and giggles I pulled up this old bookmark from 5 years ago.
It’s from the Cato Institute, and it is interesting. Check it out.

To hell with civil! I want black eyes, bloody noses, loose teeth, boxed ears and b!tch slapped RINOs.

I want to hear the wailing and gnashing of liberal teeth as they scream of injustice, unfairness, and mean-spiritedness!

I want the candidates going into a debate wondering if they are going to walk out. No podiums to hide behind and maybe have the debate in a chain link cage.

Then we'll see who is really committed.

OK, I just confirmed it: Jon Huntsman, Jr. IS the son of Jon Huntsman, the billionaire philanthropist who came up the hard way and earned his riches as an entrepreneur in the chemical industry (creator of the styrofoam Big Mac boxes, among other things). Glenn Beck has had him (Sr.) on his show a couple of times; they’re close friends. I know next to nothing about his son, but the father is apparently a man of tremendous integrity.

What a swarmy, arrogant fool. He can't see the reality that Obama utterly hates America, hates the Constitution and despises Capitalism. This idiot does not the capacity to see reality -- he must be delusional.

The only good thing is he will likely muddy up the RINO wing.

No thanks. Saw this movie in 2008.

Please have patience. Sarah will get into the fray in a big way. No doubt, when she announces, she will be on total offense against the RINOs, then the Marxist. She will go through the GOP wimps like Patton through Europe!

It is still very early in the game. The other fools just announced "too" early.
