But while Huntsman’s words are powerful, it will be hard – damn near impossible – to convince the far right conservatives who have a stranglehold on the Republican Party.

When an ant mound is poisoned and the queen dies there are still worker ants running around. However for all practical purposes, the mound is dead. That is the current state of the Tea Party.

It is ironic that the party that wraps itself in the constitution and freedom would at all cost attempt to change the rules of the game.

Right Wing Tea Party faction intends to keep business as usual. They believe government should do little and they are ensuring it does.

You have to feel sorry for conservatives. Most of them are decent folks who just have a different political ideology. Reasonable conservatives deserve better candidates, but lately they just can’t seem to get any.

Even Romney’s biggest supporters are starting to say he needs to release his tax returns.

What do Jon Huntsman and Richard Lugar have in common? If you said both are Republicans, you’d be wrong, so far as whatever being a Republican means these days. The correct answer is unemployed and unemployable, at least by any meaningful or measurable statistic I can think of.

When Republican Presidential candidate Jon Huntsman exited the race and threw his support to Mitt Romney, he wasn’t supposed to start trashing the party.

An anonymous YouTube and Twitter user who goes by the handle, ‘NHLiberty4Paul’ posted some controversial messages geared toward Jon Huntsman and in support of Ron Paul. The Paul camp asserts that they are not behind NHLiberty4Paul, so the Paul campaign filed a trademark infringement, and libel lawsuit.

According to the New York Times, Jon Huntsman is dropping out of the GOP Presidential race.

U.S. District Court Judge, John Gibney, Jr. ruled today that the equitable doctrine of laches (layman’s definition: You snooze, you lose) applies to Rick Perry’s complaint for injunctive relief (wherein he sought to have his name included on the primary ballot) and he, along with interpleaders Gingrich, Santorum and Huntsman, will not be allowed to participate in the Virginia primary on March 6, 2012.

For several months now, Stephen Colbert has been shining a satirical light on Citizens United and our, face it, completely anti-democratic electoral system. He started by forming a Super PAC, which allowed him to essentially raise unlimited cash and pretty much do whatever he wanted with it.

According to a new PPP Poll, comedian Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central is ahead of Jon Huntsman in the South Carolina Primary.

After watching this latest Republican Debate on Fox News, one thing becomes clear, and that is the very real split between the insane and the reasonable

As someone who would absolutely love to see Newt Gingrich take on Obama in the general election next year (he is the epitome of the regional candidate), I have seriously begun to worry about Newtie’s hubris. I mean, it’s always been there, it’s just that no one cared when he was polling in the single digits.

Jon Huntsman doesn’t strut around the debate stage saying ‘illegals should be electrocuted’ or ‘Obama is a Marxist, fascist, Muslim.’ He doesn’t have a catchy and overly simplistic motto like 9-9-9, but don’t let his rational appearance fool you into believing he’s one of us.

On Tuesday, the floundering candidate threw a Twitter town hall. All questions were to go to #Q4Jon. Stewart, being Jon Stewart, decided to tell his Twitter followers to send their questions to…Jon Hamm.

With probable good intent Jon Huntsman, a trailing aspirant for the GOP presidential nomination, spoke in very uncharacteristic language recently, according to Huffington Post. Good intent does not always equate to use of good judgment. Huntsman’s mis-speak may draw the ire of people who feel that the Cain issue is s serious matter.

After watching many of these Republican debates, one reccurring theme just keeps instituting itself, and that theme is the vast hypocrisy that lies between what conservatives say on one hand versus what they will turn around and do on the other, and no one has made this point any better than Newt Gingrich during CNN’s National Security Debate.

And then the topic turned to torture – whether the U.S. should engage in it, what the definition of it is, and whether waterboarding is torture. Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman firmly believe it is wrong, and diminishes the United States. The others . . . not so much.
