BAAAMMM !  He just bite The Donald’s d*ck off!!

Mr Huntsman, you may just find yourself about to be crossed off Donald Trump’s Christmas list for that scathing remark.

good for him..
at least we know there is still hope for the GOP…

Huntsman’s avoidance of Trump isn’t a negative.  The Trump debate is only about promoting Trump.  The negative was skipping Huckabee.  That audience should be his constituency!  

Huntsman has a clear path through the field, if he’d just take it.  The Huntsman that Utahans know is not the guy that the nation is seeing on TV.  http://bit.ly/sZ9v7V

Trump must be the main course here at the very liberal and very biased Mediaite today!

I guess they are Cained out!!

Cain sat at the top of the polls for six weeks and had a ridiculously implausible tax plan, prided himself on his lack of foreign policy knowledge and was a magnet for allegations of harassment.

Huntsman tows the conservative line on fiscal policy, has actual foreign policy expertise and is squeaky clean and sits at one percent in national polls.

If this doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about the GOP base, nothing will.

Huntsman has too much intelligence to be associated with the likes of Trump… unlike Newt who is standing in line to kiss Trump’s ass!!

Huntsman da man! Respect

He cained himself out.

When is America going to push back on  Donald “the wind bag” Trump? What a freaking egomaniac.. Huntsman’s “q rating” just went up in my view! More of it please

The joke/circus that is the republican party!!!!!!!!

It is a shame that Huntsman will be overlooked by the GOP.  It has been my hope that people would get past his failed campaign strategy and consider his proven history in office.  IMO he is far and away the best of the GOP candidates but he continues to try and appeal to independents and moderates…  Huntsman has gained the support of many conservative thinkers but they as am I are baffled at his self-inflicted destruction in the primary contest.  

I hope that primary voters can get past some of his earlier statements and bravado and consider his proven record of thoughtful and productive conservative policies as the Governor of Utah.  If you study the real issues our nation faces Huntsman offers the most realistic solutions moving forward.  I am afraid that too many in the GOP base will not see past what they perceive as a left to center candidate when that is not at all what Huntsman’s record suggests.  

Why is Trump so trumped up? Seriously.

If it’s so biased here and you hate it so much, you’re certainly free to go. There are thousands of wingnut blogs that will pander to your every Obama-hating need, I’m certain.

Don’t let the door slam on your way out.

Good for Huntsman and Paul.. The only people who take Trump seriously are journos, a segment of his TV viewers, and retirees from the Northeast. And not even all of them.

Well, I hope he’s gratified with settling for that and some name recognition among Democrats.

Why liberals do NOT hate Huntsman: because he’s not pathetic or insane like the rest of the corporate whore-clowns that you seem bent on destroying your party with.

I don’t get how your party (I personally don’t belong to one ) went from being as rational as its rival to moronic.

 Like I said on another posting liberals don’t mind Huntsman not because they agree with him but at least he’s not crazy or obviously ignorant like Cain or Perry. Or even Bush. When we have a president go on international tv and says stuff like “Is our children learning?” or “You have blacks too?” (Brazil) it’s really hard to swallow. Is the GOP strategy just to find somebody you can a beer with still? Huntsman’s intelligence is on a whole other level than that of his peers and he seems sociable anyway. I wouldn’t vote for him personally but I don’t understand how the GOP can write off its most intellectually capable candidate. As a relatively young voter I wish we would have some decent options when we go to the ballot box.

Did you see how Obama cut down Trumped Up to a zero chance as a presidential candidate with an couple of effortless jokes at the White House’s Correspondents Dinner? 
What’s the GOP thinking by putting Cain and Perry up there? All Obama would have to do is breathe or have a sip of water at a debate to cut down either one of them.

They really have turned into a circus.

You would miss too much neverbeenaGOPman!!

He cained himself on his own *ss. Don’t blame the media.

It’s like crack for them.

What does it say about the GOP that it won’t even consider this guy? He’s got sterling conservative bona fides and yet, because he doesn’t throw spit balls at Obama, he’s not taken seriously.

What you don’t realize is that the vast majority of independents — and
even most Democrats — want a viable TWO party system. Right now we have
one genuine political party (with all its flaws) and one clubhouse for
crackpots and cranks.

Having name recognition and respect from people outside the party shouldn’t be looked upon with scorn; it should be a badge of honor.

I got over leaving the Republican party; I can certainly endure the loss of your pearls of wisdom.

Good for Huntsman. He and Paul are probably the only halfway honest pols in this motley pack. Let’s hope they all back out. It’s one thing dealing with Gingrich’s ego because, at least, Gingrich is a normal corrupt politican with some knowledge of how the game is run. But then, you have people like Cain and Trump who don’t have any idea of what the political world is about. Cain was guaranteed to implode but, after all, as we now know, it was really a publicity stunt. But Trump is a much whackier commodity. I work in real estate in New York and Trump has always been an outlier, even for New York real estate mogul types. He was always outrageous and got no respect. His behavior is now so bizarre that I think he’s on his way to a total breakdown.

Then, you have this completely nutso rightwing organization, Newsmax, who had the audacity to set up a debate with Trump as moderator. It’s pretty much on the level as Cain’s ad blowing smoke in our face. Didn’t Newsmax get the message that the publicity from this stunt would be much more negative than positive, and totally demeaning to the Republican Party. I don’t get it, the rightwing has all the money and corrupt connections and then they do this stupid stuff. How can they possibly win in 2012. Yes, there is a liberal God in heaven who loves America!

Newt also takes Trump seriously!! Lol!!

I was about to get ready to get insane on the Cain train, too.

Ka-Blam!!

That’s exactly what I think. He’s an opportunist…but that’s what being a business man is…he’s just not as subtle about.

No coincidence that Celebrity Apprentice is just weeks away.  Go fig.

oh, come on…you side does it too. trolling isn’t exactly a trait that’s inherit in one side or another. 

Just because a candidate won’t get down in the mud and wrestle with the other republican candidates doesn’t mean he has in your view a “failed campaign strategy”.  To be a decent person and not attack others doesn’t mean it is a failed strategy – it is indeed a strategy that he can always be proud of.  It is too bad others would find some dignity and not be editing ads that are doing nothing but lying to the American people.  I do have to agree that Jon Huntsman’s initial ads were rather weird, but at least they weren’t attacking others or questioning their patriotism.

I don’t have a side. Even though it is getting quite harder and harder to maintain that position with the extreme clown sh*t that’s been coming out of the GOP.

It’s a matter of looking at it with some semblance of pragmatism.

At some point or another a candidate has to distinguish HIMSELF. 

That applied to a Tsongas and a Bradley too.

Nice Post!

He may not have been invited to Huckabee.

: )

Completely agree. Numb nuts on the right, and well at least somewhat respectable on the left.

‘The Donald’ is a bombastic, petulant bully.  He and Newt are the consummate grifters.  While they rail against ‘the others’ they continue to steal from the American people and pretend that’s capitalism.  Although I am not a conservative, I wish to hell the GOP would actually nominate an adult.  From my armchair, I think the only rational human being in the race is Huntsman.

Lol!! Every single post from Stonepark3 has been scrubbed completely off this website!! 5700 comments and 21,000 “likes” totally gone… forever!! Lol!! Woof!!

I wouldn’t want Huntsman or Ron Paul to win the presidency, but I am reassured to see that there are two reasonably non-cynical adults in the GOP.

In spite of my disappointment with his lack of leadership and spine, I’m seeing Obama as the best of the choices right now – That said, the candidate who would worry me the most in the general would be Huntsman.  I totally disagree with his economic policy, but I think he’s a bright respectable guy who at least has the gravitas to be president.   It’s a pretty sad reality that the fact that he is smart and isn’t afraid to let the GOP base know that he is smart is part of the reason he is polling at 1% among Republicans. 

i don’t know what’s worse, your lunacy, or your assholishness. 

Actually I think Huntsman dodged a bullet by being blown off by trump. . . he is absolutely nothing in the world of politics, and at least Huntsman is smart, can talk politics, and isn’t afraid. . . you gop robotonics should give him another look. . . . . trump will never recover from his ridiculous involvement in this race.

Keep on monitoring my Disqus activities. Maybe you will start getting paid for it.

As a republican maybe it is easier for me to understand how it is that Huntsman has alienated himself from the base of the republican party.  It was not his ads nor was it his lack of aggression in confronting the ideas of his republican opponents in the primary contest…  Probably the best example of Huntsman’s self destruction would be his flipped comment of “I believe in science!” as he peers out over a debate audience feeling like he just made a “funny”.  That response was made in regards to both AGW and to Rick Perry’s comments on teaching creationism in the Texas school system.  What the governor fails to understand is that to most conservatives (republicans) such a comment if not properly explained will instill a mistrust of the candidate as can be interpreted as being against conservative values in two important areas of concern to most republicans.   

Republicans as do all Americans believe in science, most do not see that belief in the theory of evolution and religion are mutually exclusive and they definitely see a value of religion in our society.  Most conservatives have a respect for religion as a foundation for moral behavior, even agnostics such as myself have a healthy respect for the foundations we received from our early exposure to religion.  I am probably offended by the doctrines of the far religious right more so than are those on the left who have no belief in religion because I see an important role for religion in our society and religious extremism will do more harm than good to preserve that role in our society. 

Conservatives are also deeply concerned that our economy cannot at this time be constrained and taxed by the policies of Cap and Trade or overly restrictive EPA regulations. They see a need for the development of our resources of fossil fuels as they do not see an economical alternative as yet being viable yet we see our largest competitor in China exploiting fossil fuels not only all over the world but in our own backyard as well, we remain the only advanced economy in the world without a comprehensive energy policy.  This is just insane!  I have concerns about AGW but also recognize both the politicalization and the unsettled science behind global warming and know that for us to maintain anything that resembles the standard of living that this country has enjoyed that we cannot simply force our economy to transform to green without first refining the science and manufacturing processes that will take us there.  I am not unique in this manner of thinking as I align just right of center on both fiscally and socially.

Huntsman has on many occasions has failed to recognize the political mood and perceived fears of the republican voter, his flipped remarks offend the senses and alienates those whose support he must gain to win the nomination, and I would ask to what gain?  I would offer no gain at all, to the contrary such remarks have come at great costs to his campaign.  Huntsman when making such remarks must take the time to explain them as his polices are far more substantial than his half-assed remarks.

That is very good news, indeed, but I suspect he’ll return.

I have to agree with everyone else here that Stonepark3 has come back as Tom_Gun!! Though, he won’t admit it everytime I question him on it!!

because he is an idiot with money a great desire to be liked, and he is not, makes him irrelevant to must us but not to the low class candidates that think that they need his brain, so we respect Mr Huntsman in his clarity

Good for Huntsman.   The Trump Taint never goes away.  

Holy crap – 21000 pressed like for a rabid knuckle dragging Fox Troll?

Yep!! Scary isn’t it??

He works(ed) for Fox.

Like a bad hair dye.

I’m curious why you invoke their names. I liked them both and would have crossed party lines to vote for either one.

Actually given how many stolen identities there have been on this site, it’s probably three people pressing LIKE again and again and again.

But they got no traction in the Dem primary season.

You just answered your own question.

Michelle and the rest probably logout from Disqus and then go back and ‘Like’ themselves.

If you’re saying that primaries don’t always reward the best candidate, we certainly agree. But it’s only gotten worse in recent years — and particularly in the GOP — as hardcore partisan forces pull the candidates further and further to the ideological fringe.

At any rate, it’s still ridiculous that Huntsman isn’t being given serious consideration. He’s clearly the most likable, the most serious and the most electable.

Trump has already promised to endorse Newt but they wont announce it until after the debate.

lol…no conflict of interest there.

Further down the rabbit hole…

To address what you stated below, again…Huntsman would do well to put himself out there in any variety of ways offered to him.

See, that’s funny, because your first comment made you seem like the “Big Brother” type, but then you spun it back on him immediately, so even though it doesn’t make sense, you win.

The sad truth about that statement is that voters today treat elections like reality TV, always looking for someone to distinguish themselves as the “next big thing”. It started with Obama and the Republican primary field is consumed by it. Just look at who’s been in the lead over the past few months.

Huntsman record and policy positions are what matter. That’s what will translate into the presidency. 

Amen. The Donald is trolling for his VP slot.  He is interviewing his prospective future bosses.  Huntsman is hip to his trip.

Why default back to Obama? He’s been an absentee president from Obamacare to the jobs bill. The reason I like Huntsman is that he won’t be afraid to cross the aisle and try to bring people together. When he was campaigning, Obama talked so much about being the post-partisan president, but he has been as bad or worse as anyone. 

Someone has to take the first step to bring the two sides together and I think Huntsman has the best shot to do that.

I’ll do it for you, Mr. Huntsman.

I didn’t like the comment. I like mine. 

http://www.occupyxmas.net/2011/12/2012-republican-primary-equals-horror.html

Why do you call him an absentee President? The GOP/TP House voted down his jobs bill, he can’t sign the bill himself and make it law. As for Obamacare 72% of Americans are actually for it. You on the other hand must be part of the idiotic 28%.

I wish Pawlenty had stayed in the race too.

than the other not then the other

well in all fairness, the word is ‘bit’ not ‘bite’ ….

the combo ^^^ is kind of funny :)

he never wins – click his handle.. he’s that nut that posts on all these blogs about strange beliefs that obama and sarah palin are aliens and some other crap I skipped over..

“Further down the rabbit hole” for the GOP? I was thinking they get paid to let something happen down a different hole.

Trump should go to an Occupy sit-in and smoke pot with the unemployed art majors

Way to resort to name calling right off the bat. It completely drowns out whatever your point may be.

The Senate poopoo’ed the first jobs bill and Obama claimed he hadn’t seen the Republicans version after it had been on his desk for about 10 days.

In no poll that I’ve seen is there a 72% favorability rating for Obamacare, so not sure what you’re referring to. As for me and 95% of my friends surviving in the middle class, we are opposed because Obama said we would save money on this and every single one of us have had our pockets picked repeatedly since it was passed.

Passing up all that FREE publicity, duh…

You can s_ck my d_ck Huntsman right after you finish with Obama
Screw all you easily duped tools of the left

Picked by who? The large part of the bill has not even been enacted. Sounds like a lie to me.

@whatnowgop:disqus You need to do some reading or pay more attention, because the age limit for family coverage has been increased, preexisting conditions have been denied on some policies and high risk pool subsidies have been initiated. 

Everyone I know has had their deductibles go up, copays go up or their premiums go up. In my case, all three went up. 

It’s easy for you to claim others are lying when you don’t know the facts.

It’s not like Trump is just an opportunist of the first order. Just a few years ago he was a limo liberal on most issues. Trumps politics is what is good for him is good for the USA.

Cain was right about one thing, too many damned debates, especially crappola like Trump’s

Huntsman is running for the wrong party, he should run as a Democrat.  He would make a decent Democrat, like we used to have in the years called BO (Before Obama).  Now that party resembles more Looney Tunes than anything political.

I never liked the Donald. I don’t care whether he is a great businessman or not. He is an obnoxious bully. He thinks that unless a candidate kowtowed to him, he or she has no chance of receiving the Republican nomination. A debate on some obscure network is a waste of time for the candidates. Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman have guts, all the others look like court jesters. And they are ready to perform…

 I agree with you!

Bit surprised that Huntsman would make a subtle reference to analingus, even as something he won’t perform on Trump, figuratively speaking. This is after all the GOP.
