Huntsman is one of them

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The mainstream media has been touting former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman as the only serious, and acceptable, GOP candidate for the 2012 presidential election. Without Huntsman, according to the biased media, the GOP field is weak. Of course, the liberal media likes him. He's one of them.

The former ambassador under Obama has recently announced that he is a GOP presidential candidate. He says he's a Republican, despite his liberal stance on most of the issues. And he is careful not to tell you that Jon Huntsman and his family have forged close ties to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., over the years.

There may be an "R" after Huntsman's name, but he is a progressive liberal just the same. He and his family hob-nobs with the left, he votes with the left, and his closest family members gives money to the left. Although Huntsman never has donated to a Reid campaign himself, members of his family, including his parents and brothers, have sent $25,000 to the Senate’s top Democrat.

While governor, Huntsman appointed Reid’s son, Josh, to Utah’s Board of Regents. Huntsman’s father even spread the goodwill to Democrats in general, sending $5,000 to the Nevada Democratic Party in 2008.

The liberal Democrats of the party of donkeys, and the biased media, will do all they can to get the people to put Huntsman into the GOP nomination, just as they did with McCain, because the Democrats know they can't beat a conservative. But, they believe they can beat a progressive Republican...and if they lose, they don't care, because Huntsman is one of them.
