If you watched closely, you could see a “phony”.
He is VERY good on TV. He has perfect hair. Just the right amount of gray. Coiffed but not over coiffed. He's handsome, yet slightly rugged looking. He is soft spoken, yet has a bit of a commanding presence. He is the perfect caricature of a president. A Stepford president if you will. No wonder that the Hollywood loving liberals love this guy. Start chiseling his face into Mount Rushmore right now!
He reminds me of John Edwards. Things are not always as they seem.
Wrapping himself in the Reagan heritage, I found disgusting. I knew Ronald Reagan, Reagan is a hero of mine, and Huntsman is no Ronald Reagan.
Wishy Washy is fine for a Chinese laundry, NOT for a president. This guy's nomination is DOA.
CONSERVATIVES RULE! Accept no “moderates”. We have the power, NOW WIELD IT, DARN IT!
:D
Mormoons apparently stick together.
There is something about Huntsman that scares me, and I can’t put my finger on it. I think that there is something very evil hiding behind his Mormon facade.
Huntsman's staging of his announcement at the Statue of Liberty - trying to evoke Reagan's classic speech beginning his campaign against Jimmie Carter - and then calling for "civility" and "respect" for Obama, only exposed him as a phony and pretender.
Here's two videos of REAGAN'S 1980 speech there - for anyone to make the comparison:(This is where Rush found the Reagan sound bites he featured on his show yesterday. There are 2 parts.):
President Ronald Reagan - Liberty State Park 1980[Pt. 1]
President Ronald Reagan - Liberty State Park 1980[Pt. 2]
Below are but a few quotes (from it) were Reagan directly and harshly confronted, challenged and ridiculed Carter. But Reagan was motivated by a consuming drive to win and save his beloved country and not to be "civil" and "respectful" to the man he saw destroying it:
"The lady, standing there in the harbor, has never betrayed us once, but this administration, in Washington has betrayed the working men and women of this country."There are many more along the same lines. The entire speech is well worth a view to see how a patriot wins the Presidency from one who is wrecking the country he/she loves!"His {Carter's} answer to all this misery: he tries to tell us that we're only in a reccession not a deppression. As if definitions, words relieve our sufferring. Let it show on the record that when the American people cried out for economic help, Jimmie Carter took refuge behind a dictionary. Well, if it's a definition he wants, I'll give him one. A reccession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmie Carter loses his."
"I have talked with unemployed workers all across this country. I've heard their views on what Jimmie Carter has done to them and their families. They aren't interested in semantic quibbles. They're out of work and they know who put them out of work... Let him go to the unemployment lines and lecture those workers, who have been betrayed, on what is the proper definition for their widespread economic misery."
"Now, call this human tragedy whatever you want. Whatever it is, it's Jimmie Carter's. He caused it. He tolerates it and he's going to answer to the American people for it."
Who cares how he looks? He was peppered with questions about his political positions and he hit a home run with all of his answers. He makes guys like Paul, Gingrich, Santorum, Pawlenty, and Cain look small. They ought to fold their tents now and leave the field to Romney, Huntsman, and Perry. Bachman can be someone's VP pick.
When he said yesterday that he respected obama and wouldn’t attack him..... that was enough for me.
