Huntsman Hits Sununu-Romney Tie

November 11, 2011 RSS Feed Print

After former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu recently announced his endorsement of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, rival Jon Huntsman gave him a piece of his mind in an open letter.

"Over the course of this campaign you have made it abundantly clear that you would endorse a conservative governor. However, I am surprised that you believe Mitt Romney meets that threshold," wrote Huntsman, providing a bulleted list of Romney's allegedly non-conservative positions on issues like tax cuts, healthcare, and abortion.  [Check out a slide show of GOP spouses on the 2012 campaign trail.]

Asked about the reason for the candidate's personalized response, Huntsman's spokesman Tim Miller said: "Governor Sununu's justification for endorsing Mitt Romney was disingenuous. He had been an attack dog for the campaign for months. The fact is Governor Huntsman has a strong track record of conservative governance while Mitt Romney raised taxes, signed big government healthcare, and ran away from the Republican Party."

I'm supporting Herman Cain until the end of the Republican Primary, and for U.S. President in the general election. Don't let the media decide who our nominee will be when they have an obvious agenda. I like the fact that Herman Cain is a real Conservative who hasn't been a career politician. He talks like a normal person, and not a scripted robot like the career politicians who will do, and say, anything to get elected because they have no principle.

Cain's an Intelligent man with an impressive education, who became a CEO of a failing company, and turned it around in only 14 months. I think that tells us something. Obama would have bankrupt the company if had that same responsibility.

I'm not going to let the media tell me who to vote for, and neither should anyone else. The liberal media, and establishment Republicans don't want an outside black Conservative Republican taking power, and they are doing everything they can to destroy him. From the moment he became the front runner they either ignored him, hoping he would drop in the polls quickly, and then when he didn't they started attacking him as viciously as possible.

The democrats don't want Obama to run against Cain because they fear him. The Republican establishment don't want him to win the primary because they don't want a Conservative Republican outsider taking away their influence, and jobs. They want career politicians who have done nothing to help our country. The establishment think they are the ones who get to decide our nominee, and wouldn't even have a primary if they could. The media just helps them out.

Herman Cain isn't going to lose my support no matter what these people do, because it doesn't change the fact that Cain is a Conservative who's right when it comes to all the major issues. I would like for everyone to check out Cain's political views, and make your decisions based on that. I would like you all to support Cain for the nomination, and as our next President, but whatever you do don't let the media change your own opinions of candidates when it's clear they have their own agenda. Herman Cain for President of the United States 2012!
