Obama’s Man No More
May 31st, 2011 - 8:17 am
Former China ambassador and future GOP hopeful John Huntsman sat down for a lengthy interview with RCP:
“We have no pro-growth policies,” he replied in a lengthy interview with RealClearPolitics when asked what was wrong with Obama’s approach to growing the economy and supporting business.
The line was so blunt it jerked several of those present — including his wife, Mary Kaye — into brief and startled laughter. (The interview took place in a campaign van as Huntsman’s entourage was making its way through the Granite State last Monday for an event here.)
“When was the last time we had a free-trade agreement?” Huntsman asked.
This guy is starting to grow on me.
Huntsman is McCain 2.0 – straight from the Dede Scozzafava wing of the party. No thanks.
That’s how he’s always struck me, too. But I’ve been wrong before, so I’m keeping my eyes open.
Sorry dude, but no support for far-left “Republicans” who suddenly find religion when it’s time to run for the White House (or anything else, for that matter). See the list of positions below; it’s fairly damning.
There’s a reason first impressions are lasting impressions. He’s the Democrats first choice to run against Obama. I think he’d be a good candidate to run against O’Sputnik too. In the primary.
Yeah, he’s growing on me too… like a tumor:
“‘Six months ago we were going to come back and go straight into the private sector,’ he said. ‘That’s why we bought a home in D.C.’” – pretty much tells you all you need to know about what he thinks about the private sector.
“Perhaps playing to that segment of the electorate, he said the two living Republicans he most admires are now folk heroes: Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.” – I threw up in my mouth.
Never mind the fact that he worships at the feet of High Priest Al Gore: http://amerpundit.com/2011/05/17/jon-huntsman-of-course-i-believe-in-global-warming/
Never mind that he supports Cap-and-Tax, Keynesian Stimulus, and an Individual Mandate for Health Care.
I’d disagree with J.J.Sefton above, but only to say that he’s far worse than McCain – and that’s pretty darned awful to begin with.
“Of course I believe in global warming.”
I think the use of that word says absolutely everything that needs to be said about AGW. It’s not science; it’s religion.
