Huntsman by his own words is a useless chicken ***t.

If we wanted civil we could have mccain or dole.

we need to purge the RINOs.

Well, if he could only poll higher than 1%, he may have an impact of splitting the RINO vote.

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

Yes, it's all about the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms manipulating (with the tacit approval and aid of the GOP establishment) the mindless chattering class into shrugging and in the end nominating Mitt because the name sounds familiar and "he can win".

Exactly.

Furthermore, 'Fake-badge' Milt Romney and his minime Bill Hudak
are now linked to the creation
of fake 'Tea Party's, including the very one
which attacked Gov. Palin from Texas (see post 11)

The thing about Mitt’s “hidden hand” is that he isn’t very good at hiding it.

Huntsman is the Democrats choice in the Republican party (not even RINO- flat out liberal and Democrat); bottom line: Anyone who SERVED in the Obama Administration is fundamentally ruled out as a legitimate candiate!

Bachmann and Cain are great! I don’t know why you are complaining about them?

The time for “civility” has passed... It passed way back in mid-2008 before the LAST election. Anyone not willing to call out Obama for what he REALLY is shouldn’t even be THINKING about running.

Who is this guy anyway? I’ve NEVER heard of him - ever!

Good.

He and Romney and Pawlenty can split the moderate vote.

I like that idea.

McStain junior, he’s a LOSER.

If I want to vote for a liberal I’ll vote for the real thing at least with them you know where you stand—no thanks John.

Ya know what really bugs the shit out of me? Glenn Beck! Either Beck is in on the promotion of this Rino milque toast, or he is a certifiable fool. Jon Sr. befriended Beck when Beck was still at CNN, and really just starting to make a name in the conservative political movement. I mean, the old man went waaaaaaay out if his way to make a friend of Beck. Now, Junior is acting like he’s the Republican “chosen one”. Something stinks to high hell in Denmark. I don’t trust Huntsman any more than I trust George Soros.

hmmmm....”snowball” and “hell” come immediately to mind...

This gold-plated RINO needn’t have bothered.

A good capitalist would learn how to use Hunstman as a foil for very good humor..
The man looks like San Fransikos version of gay president..
Whatever Hunstman is.... HE IS NOT a conservative..

Hunstman is an opportunity to mock Jon as what “the left thinks” a conservative looks like..

RAT lite at best, Obamatron in disguise at worst.

Rush Limbaugh had an excellent "compare and contrast" of President Ronald Reagan and Huntsman this morning. Where Huntsman was calling for respect and civility for Obama, President Reagan made the differences abundantly clear:

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

In my opinion, attack...attack...attack is the best strategy for a Conservative victory. Have no mercy on the usurper and relentlessly reveal his flaws while explaining why Conservatism is the one and only way to restore America.

Rush played excerpts from his speech and Reagans speech and there is no comparison. Reagan was THE man. I don’t want to say what Huntsman is. -—a real puke Yuccch!!!

The Lame Streams are in LOVE with Huntsman and Romney. Why, might one ask?

Simple...they have their half-rican in the White House; of course he’s half Caucasian, but we rarely hear about that. Having their favorite Zero go up against a candidate whose “church”, up until 1978, prohibited blacks from holding any position of authority will serve a duel purpose. They get to use it to beat Huntsman or Romney senseless with their “in-depth vetting process”, and they get to help re-elect Zero at the same time. It will be a ratings bonanza for them.

No thank you....

Oh, thank God!

Now all the millions marching in the street, hoping for a left-leaning, moderate, Mormon, RINO ex-gov will have someone to vote for!

Wait, what?
