    Default Jon Huntsman Trashes Republican Party, Compares It to Chinese Communist Party

    http://www.alan.com/2012/04/22/jon-h...mmunist-party/
    Recounting his first experience on the presidential debate stage in Iowa last August, Huntsman says he was struck by the question “Is this the best we could do?”

    Huntsman, the former Utah governor and once President Barack Obama’s Ambassador to China, expressed disappointment that the Republican Party disinvited him from a Florida fundraiser in March after he publicly called for a third party.

    “This is what they do in China on party matters if you talk off script,” he said.
    Wonderful.

    After three years of bigger government, higher taxes and more spending, America desperately needs a return to conservative principles: limited government, lower taxes and balanced budgets.

    On the campaign trail, I have spoken often about the need to fix not only our nation’s economic deficit, but also our deficit of trust and unity. America is more divided than ever, and for our nation to move forward together with new leadership and unite, the Republican Party must first unite.

    Today I am suspending my campaign and supporting the candidate who is best-equipped to defeat the president and return conservative leadership to the White House: Governor Mitt Romney.

    Wonderful, indeed.

    Asked by journalist Jeff Greenfield if he could win the nomination of the Republican Party in Utah today, Huntsman said he could not, saying later that Ronald Reagan would "likely not" be able to win the GOP nomination nationally in this political climate.

    On foreign policy, Huntsman questioned his former Republican opponents' hard-line positions on China. "I don’t know what world these people are living in," he said, not naming Mitt Romney by name.

    Though he categorically ruled out being Romney's running mate, Huntsman stood by his tepid endorsement of Romney, saying he would manage legislation through Congress more effectively.
    Congrats on your tepid endorsement. Romneymania!

    He's a loser. Apparently he's just getting around to figuring that out.

    You should hope to contribute a small percentage of what Jon Huntsman has done for America. But no, it's more in your style to ridicule a better American than you'll ever be.

    I had to Google “Jon Huntsman” to see who he was and figure out if I should care what he thinks of the Republican Party. Now I know who he is and that I don’t need to care. Thanks. One more item of no concern checked off on my list of non-concerns.

    Huntsman was the one Republican I would have voted for over Obama. A very successful governor, speaks Chinese and believes in science.

    How foolish for those who don't realize that you have cornered the market.
