Huntsman Injects Excitement into 2012 GOP Presidential Race

Not every Republican identifies with the Tea Party movement. Many like myself are looking for a viable Republican candidate that is fiscally conservative and socially moderate (but decidedly pro-life and pro-gun rights). Huntsman is a breath of fresh air and I will follow his candidacy with interest.

Well, just what the GOP needs. The left wing media and RINO hacks picking the GOP nominees. That's why we wound up with people like Dole and McCain. GW was almost as bad as he bowed and scraped before Democrats and never defended himself. US Snooze has about as much credibility as Newsweek. Hunstman looks like another Romney or Sen Crist RINO hack.

Republican party just had historically successful midterms, sweeping House, nearly Senate, overwhelming state and local races. Theme was focused conservatism a la Tea Party. So, the libs in DC now have their new "Republican hero" who's going to "inject excitement" into the presidential primary race? Outside of the Obama administration and Communist China, no one's heard of this guy. And, his liberal-lite policies are really going to go over well in this Tea Party environment, right? He won't even win Utah, let alone the nomination. It doesn't matter how much money he has - just like Daddy Warbucks Bloomberg - who sounds like an east coast twin of Huntsman (mega-business man, pro-gay rights, pro-illegal immigration, pro-global warming scam, etc), he wouldn't even garner a single percentage point in a national GOP primary race. Tell me how he differs from Obama? Amb. Huntsman is likely a wonderful and accomplished person. Better he run on the Democratic ticket and inject a little commonsense centrism into the Ayers/Wright/Soros/Trumpka/Stern wing of the Bolsheviks.

Huntsman, the guy who thinks that the 0bama stimulis was too small, the guy who has spent the last two years in the 0bama administration? That Huntsman. He'd be better off saving his money, he doesn't stand a chance of winning the nomination, he might win the Utah primary, but that's about it.
