Jon Huntsman Criticizes Republican Party, Compares Actions To Communist China
I honestly wish he would've had a chance to run against the President. I find him refreshing for a Republican, and I possibly would've voted for him. I would've voted for McCain, I have said repeatedly, but then his pick for VP is what deterred me. That Vice President is an important part of the race. One bad VP pick, and you can lose and entire election. I don't think that it was really thought of that way until Sarah Palin.
I find Huntsman leveled headed, intelligent, and honest (for a Politician... which isn't saying much, but still.)
I just want to know: What does it say to you that the less extreme Conservatives are coming out against the current nominees? Let's face it: Gingrich has no chance. His campaign is running on an empty tank financially. It's been reported that his campaign is 4.3 million dollars in debt and that debt is getting larger as he is stiffing vendors. Huntsman is lukewarm on Romney, but I don't feel Romney is as strong of a candidate that the GOP needs to win. Sure, he might be a moderate conservative, but he's oblivious to the needs of the normal American. Most Politicians are, but I feel because of his money, Romney has no clue. I also don't like Romney because of religious issues, such as him post-humously having his staunch athiest father-in-law baptized as a Mormon. To me, that isn't upholding the Freedom of Religion in the Constitution: It violates it. The man's beliefs should be respected in death as they should've been in life.
I truly feel that the GOP should've pushed the levelheaded man to the front. Honestly, every liberal in my family would've considered Huntsman as a serious candidate. My Aunt has lived in Utah for the past decade, and she adores him. My Grandmother, who has told me she is going to vote for Obama, said that if Huntsman got the nomination, that the statement about Obama would no longer hold water.
My husband says that the extreme conservatives are a result of the extreme liberals. That might be true, but I truly believe that they are shooting themselves in the foot with their current candidates. Find one in the middle of the road, an intelligent, levelheaded, and open-minded candidate, and maybe there would be some progress in Washington instead of this... war. That's all it can be called: A war. It's not a violent, armed war: It's an Uncivil Civil War. The animosity between both parties is destroying our great Nation. Each party does "tit for tat" and that's not how we're going to save America.
We need someone unifying, and I don't believe Romney is that person.
