Jon Huntsman the new Rondald Reagan? Hardly

Am I the only one who thinks Jon Huntsman is a plant?

Huntsman chose Liberty Park to announce his candidacy, the same place Ronald Reagan chose to launch his campaign as the nominee of the Republican party in September 1980. His Casper Milquetoast announcemant speech at Liberty Park simply can't compare Reagan's and is the same recipe for defeat John McCain gave us. And it's no coincidence, John Weaver Huntsman's top political advisor is a former McCain campaign team member.

Soon you will see the NY Times declaring Huntsman the second coming. A drumbeat from the rest of the legacy media will follow. The horribly skewed NY Times/CBS poll will declare Huntsman a front runner. But even worse, his campaign has the earmarks of recent congressional campaigns of Democrats running as "Tea Party" candidates.

Fortunately he doesn’t have the time or organization to make a dent in the Iowa caucuses. But in New Hampshire, an open primary state, Democrats will cross over and vote for him in the Republican primary in an attempt to torpedo viable conservative contenders....

Will you inform Sean Hannity because he was drooling all over himself during his Huntsman interview?

People who truly make history do not spend their time trying to symbolically repeat it.

Mr. Huntzman, you are no Ronald Reagan; and attaching yourself to symbolic poses from HIS history will not bestow his gifts on you. Life does not work that way. The symbol wears off as the substance is lacking.

Huntsman is certainly out of the same mold that created McCain, the mold that was formed of beliefs Obama was a good father, loved the USA, and was/would be a good POTUSA not withstanding his intentions to change our Constitution. Huntsman is a shill for internationalism/new world order(Bush1). I read he was a high school dropout so he must have done some marvelous things as son of a billionaire to become Obama’s ambassador to China.
