Because Republicans don’t care about a candidate who suggests that they shoudln’t dismiss science.

Gorgeous Gretchen is a great journalist.

Gretchen is the spawn of an iguana  lizard space invader and an earth mother. Her hair is actually a wig covering a ridge along the crown of her skull. 

Huntsman is a non contender because the current iteration of the Republican Party is not into fact based economics or science or really anything that would help. They are the party of seccession and the reborn Confederacy.

Easy, because Huntsman has the personality of a piece of driftwood. also, Romney is a better Huntsman than Huntsman so there is really no reason for two.

And Mitch McConnell is the turtle people lord and master who coordinates closely wirh Gretchen’s kind preparing for the takeover.

Who is a bigger bimbo, Gretchen or Doocy?

You!

Huntsman is at 0% in the polls due to the fact that he’s a Moderate!! Republicons aren’t happy voting for someone who doesn’t take extreme positions on the issues and isn’t willing to sound like a fool!!

Poor libs- they know Huntsman is “Obama-Lite” and they want Conservatives to support him, but it ain’t working!

Yes, he is a Moderate loser!

Well part of why libs are “for” Huntsman and have even at times cozied up to Perry is because they are trying to keep the chaos of a multiperson GOP field going instead of letting it calm down and focus on one guy,Romney obviously,and become a real campaign.

The longer it isn’t a real campaign the longer Dems and Obama can skate.

Try to name one Republican who said science should be dismissed.

I’ll wait, skippy!

Perry, Paul,Gingrich, Santorum, Bachman, Cain, etc.

Right on all counts.

Why do you peddle this lie? Huntsman’s record is ten-times more conservative than Rick Perry or Mitt Romney. Huntsman is arguably the most pro-life, pro-tax-cut, pro-gun person in that darn field, yet I’m supposed to believe he’s a moderate because he did exactly what Perry and Romney did in giving in-state tuition to illegals? And because he believes global warming is man-made? Who cares? It’s not like Huntsman wants to bleed the private-sector dry because of global warming like Obama and the liberals do.

I think Perry eloquently described it as “hooey”.  Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich. C’mon man, wake up!

Quote please!  Conjecture doesn’t count.

Answer:  Your father is at best a RHINO, and probably more accurately described as a moderate democrat.  His pompouse and smugg demeanor fits perfectly for a Democratic candidate, but unfortunately  equates to horrible poll numbers when your base consists of working, responsible, tax-paying citizens.

Journalist? Journalism? Is that what you call what she does on Faux and Friends? Interesting.

Coming from a guy who just just made a claim that Carlson was born from a lizard man space alien and earth mother….its a safe bet to discount all every idiototic utterance from you from pretty much here on out.

Thanks for the upfront disclaimer, you’ll save me some time skipping your future posts!

I would call it a tie!!  =)

Come on Stoner!! Do you really think Independents or going to vote for a right-wing extremist??

Answer: Republicans are enamored of politicians who wear their stupidity on their sleeves and our father refuses to play that game. 

I must say I am heartbroken.

Come out of the swamp and open your eyes. The fact is that when Huntsman tweeted that he believes in evolution and climate change, not one other GOP candidate came forward and said, “yup, me too.” Their silence spoke volumes.

Wrong on both accounts. But I believe you’re correct that her name is Gretchen. 

Candidates like Huntsman are the future of the GOP.    Too bad, few Republicans are willing or ready to accept that as fact.    

That’s a tough one, but I’d say Doocy, because at least Gretchen has that Oxford education behind her, even if she keeps it astonishingly well hidden. 

Dude, you make it too easy for me to prove my point about Republicans seeking out stupidity in their candidates. Can you try spellcheck sometime? You couldn’t even spell RINO correctly! What’s “RHINO” even supposed to stand for? 

Nothing POMPOUSE or SMUGG about regular Americans like yourself, eh?

Not a right wing extremist, but a strong conservative – absolutely.  They have in the past and they will again.  The President doesn’t need to be lead celebrity or lead oh-he’s-so-handsome or lead I-get-a-thrill-up-my-leg or lead political-correctness-candidate, the President needs to be a leader.  One who can use leverage with their own party to meet common goals largely on his or her terms, and one who just as easily can reach across the aisle to get something done (like Reagan did with O’Neal and Bush did with Kennedy).   A President who leads by poll results is no leader, such a President is a follower.

Leader?? A President who orders the killing of Bin Laden to help save American lives and keep the country safe is not a leader??

As for reaching across the aisle… why should Obama continue to reach, when Republicons have proven countless time they are unwilling to work with a Democratic President!!

Bottom line is that republicans will not support a candidate who supports “Cap and Trade” or who would limit the development of our energy resources.  Republicans could really care less about a candidate’s position on evolution other than the fact that we are tired of the left’s relentless attack on Christianity.  The number among us who actually believe in creationism and not evolution is very small as most people, liberals included, do not view the two as being mutually exclusive.  

Huntsman has made some attempt to address his stance on AGW 

“I respect the science. In terms of the tools I would use to address it, I say if we are reading one body of science here and the Chinese are reading a different body of science there and the Indians are yet again reading something different, the largest emitters in the world are going from different benchmarks. And how can we unilaterally disarm in this country and impose something in the way of cost for the job creators when the largest emitters in the world are reading from a different scientific text?”

he is a zero appeal guy………..

you mean wasserman-shultz. cancer ate more of her than her husband does…

Maybe he is polling at 0% because he challenged Carlson and the GOP/TP that they can’t run away from science. 

When did Obama reach across the aisle when when he voted the party line 100% of the time when in the senate (I mean campaigning for President).  He refused to even speak with the Republican leadership the first 8-months or so he was in office, just like he declined to speak with the generals running the wars.  He shouldn’t ‘continue’ to reach across the aisle – he should do it, once, then he should do it again as required to serve the best interests of the country.  Being an extreme liberal and thinking only the far left can govern is the wrong way to do, just as it would be if someone were far right.  It takes both ideologies to run the government.  Balancing each other out is how they can serve the majority of Americans, even though that means ticking off the far left or far right on occasion.  The past 3 years only one party has been represented by the policies of the white house – the rest of America has basically been told to go F themselves.

I am sure you can be even more classy, you probably have a Mengele reference you can toss in for medical support.

Hunstman is reasonable and and not completely batshit crazy. Plus he doesn’t think obama is the anti christ. Thats why he’s not polling good in the GOP race. 

This is what I don’t get with conservatives. Your number one goal is to get Obama out of the white house, but you only support candidates who are so far right that they have no chance of taking votes from him. Whats the logic in supporting a bunch of hard right wingers who have no chance of getting democratic and independent votes, when you can get a moderate like Huntsman who at least has a chance to steal some votes away from Obama’s base?  If the country is supposed to be a “center right” country, then why not elect someone who is center right?

Only a hippie would use the term earth mother.

And only a hippie would disrespect their parents like you just did. Show your mother this post. Own it.

When you have to respond to your own post, you know you have issues.

Don’t speak of terms of which you do not know.

I’m thinking that Carlton was just toying with libs and y’all fell for it.

Epic fails.

Do you honestly think Rick Perry willing to work across the aisle? The guy who threatened to succeed from the Union. Bachmann, a tea partier, who pretty much looks at all liberals as being the anti Christ, She cant even work with people in her OWN PARTY. What about the GOP candidates can you HONESTLY say they can unite this country and actually get things done.

No…he’s a liberal loser. At least the other Democrats on the stage in the R. Party entertain…haha

As a Conservative, I would never vote for Huntsman.

End of story.

But I do welcome him to challenge Obama in the primaries. I think it would be epic.

Huntsman is your father?

Too bad. What a boring household.

Yeah what loser libs are! They want someone smart and thoughtful who has faith but understands science in science and facts when problem solving. The White House is no place for that! A President should denounce all spending no matter what while providing tax cuts to those who don’t need them. Science, education and the media should be blamed for everything and fighting against the rights of gays and anyone considered godless should be a gigantic priority. Radical divisive statements should be campaign promises and anyone who doesn’t agree is a communist or a marxist.

If they did get Obama out of the Whitehouse, what would they do to help the country? They don’t have a plan. Banning abortion, gay marriage and independent thought won’t do much for the unemployed or the homeless.

Hardly. I thought you liberals were the ones who keep saying the GOP keeps moving to the right. If that’s true candidates like Huntsman will soon be history.

Prove it. Link to their comments.

I’ll wait.

Crickets! Crickets!

Huntsman would not steal a whole lot of votes from Obama’s base because his base is at least as liberal as he is. On the other hand, a lot of Republicans might choose not to vote for either one, thus giving Obama better chance of winning.

Douche…hands down. I mean uhm, Doocy. :D

You mean the way they did with Reagan? Or do you believe he was just a moderate Republican?

They voted for a left-wing extremist last time, dear!

And I suppose the Democrats were willing to work with the Republicans on the budget deal? They hardly gave an inch!

Huntsman’s campaign will go down in history as attracting the most media coverage ever for someone who polls at 0%.

Come on Phil!! Reagan worked with Democrats during his day, this is one of the reasons he wouldn’t be allowed in the Republicon Party if he was around today!! Republicons are the Party of “no compromise!!”

Oh, and by today’s standards, I think Reagan would be looked at as a Moderate!!

Well I hear that a lot from liberals, but if that’s the case why is Reagan considered to be the gold standard of Republican politicians today?

On the 15th (Foreign Policy Debate) Huntsman will probably knock it out of the park if he get’s asked even half as many questions as Romney and Co.

Gretchen gives credibility to the blond air head syndrome.

Lol!! You are guilty!! Looks like you fell off your high-horse when it comes to staying out of the verbal attacks!!

This is what’s wrong with many in the Republican Party. They are favoring rhetoric over reality. Since he isn’t lying to the American public and preaching the line, he is this moronic meme that is an “Obama lite”. Although his record says otherwise, and even his slightly liberal stances(civil unions) opposite the president. Do records really not matter for you people? Is rhetoric all that matters?

@LAPhil:disqus The reason Reagan is considered to be the gold standard (by the tea party in particular) is that they’ve completely whitewashed anything they disagree with, like his having raised taxes to meet a deficit or working cooperatively with the Democrats. He’d have very little in common with today’s pitchforkers. 

Wait, let me guess, you don’t consider the theory of evolution or global warming science?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Cc8t3Zd5E

let me ask—
show me a con who does not believe that adam and eve lived in the garden of eden(same time as dinos)—after god created the earth and the universe–in that order(making the earth the center of the universe)

to say that cons do not deny global warming, deny evolution and wants to stop stem cell research–would be a lie—and yes all are proves science–by the actual science academic world…
now if we are looking at the vacation bible school scientists–they may differ–but even conservative scientist have claimed it is impossible for all of us to have come from a 2 person dna strand–
thus the adam and eve story is not true–thus no original sin–thus no christ to deliver us from the human condition/sin  —the ‘hunger’ for knowledge…

Talk about a softball interview. She made Larry King seem like a waterboarding CIA officer.

mormon apologists are CREEPY! you people will do anything to get the lds/romney elected, sick!

All of those guys have denied Global warming and even the Evolution theory. So yes they’ve dismissed science.

It’s obvious why Huntsman is at 0%. He’s too decent, straighforward and intelligent. Qualities that have no place at all in rightwing politics. It’s clear that nothing is going to stop the Republicans as they continue to implode. It’s almost Shakespearean in that we’re watching our kingdom excoriate some evil demons. Republicans and FOX have become, as Jobs so aptly pointed out to Rupert Murdoch, more and more destructive.Using Mediaite as a barometer, the rightwing comments have become 90% name-calling, pain and denial. The Republicans are holding us all up for ransom which is very bad. Your unrelenting hatred of Obama is so far over the hill, and while he has a lot to answer for, he has made efforts, some intelligent, to get us unstuck. You’re going down in flames and you have no one else to blame but yourselves.

Another mindless obamaton reciting the downloaded talking points.
Give the pertinent quotes or why don’t you STFU.

Man caused global warming is certainly not any kind of proved science. The earth has gone from snowball to furnace and back many times without people present. Mars is undergoing the same temperature changes that earth is right now, so show your proof man is causing it. Then, show me the scientific proof that there isn’t something of a much higher and more perfect existence than man. I’ll be waiting for the proofs. Until you have them, you have nothing but your own religion of atheism. And that is exactly what it is, an unproven religion of nihilism.

No facts, just name calling. Typical lib.

To quote the great Ron White,”You can’t fix stupid.” Saying really stupid things several times, they are still stupid.

A sure sign of stupidity is to attack someone else’s opinion while offering nothing to refute it except a completely unwarranted, high appraisal of your own undefended beliefs. Don’t tell me, your so bright that your always correct and if someone can’t just see that then there is something wrong with them right? No need to even offer a logical response right? Sounds like a typical brain dead liberal outlook on life to me. No facts or logic. LOL! YOU FOOL!

You really, really cannot fix stupid. When your stated beliefs are based on nothing but your stated beliefs, there is no point in pointing out the overwhelming factual evidence that puts paid to your false beliefs. 

Yep…you got it.

The theory of evolution is a THEORY.  It hasn’t been proven.  If it had it would no longer be called a theory.  So to dismiss the theory would not be dismissing science.

Obviously do don’t even understand what the term conjecture even means.  Good job at attempting to sound intelligent.

All of those candidates have made it a point to dance around scientific proof and campaign on ideals that endorse that there is no ‘proof’ – but you want a literal quotation of using the words deny and science.

This is why comment sections are normally filled with mouth breathing fucktards – because you pseudo intellectuals are masturbating whilst attempting to solve an argument.  Pay no regards to the actual validity of the discussion, try to find a precision argument with nonsensical impetus !
