Wow. TFA sure paints a rosy picture of him.
 
2011-12-21 01:27:12 PM
I hear he has a limp poll
 
2011-12-21 01:28:13 PM
Who?
 
2011-12-21 01:37:35 PM
Biased, liberal, drive-by, state controlled media attempting to smear the man simply because he is a conservative. Obama does in again.

(sarcasm)

Is it too late for him to have a super-bump?

6) He has the best name of any presidential candidate.

His first job out of college was a VP spot at one of his billionaire father's companies and his dad is funding a super-pac to pay for his commercials.

Burninate: Who?

He's the guy on the Daily Show that grew a stupid mustache, right?

In other words, another GOP bootstrappy rugged individualist.

6) He is calling for not just reducing, but eliminating the capital gains tax.

7) He is every bit as pro-war-against-Iran as Santorum and Gingrich.

Just because he comes across as respectful and reasonable doesn't mean he's not crazy. Though on the balance he still is a better choice for Republicans than most of the others running.

And unless Dad is getting a tax writeoff or is working some similar angle, that's a pretty bad business move considering the kid has less chance of becoming the Republican nominee than Ronald Reagan does.

A Dark Evil Omen: 6) He has the best name of any presidential candidate.

Oh yeah? What about Gov. Big McLargeHuge?

6) Instead of performing his divinely-inspired duty to assassinate the dirty pinko Commie Usurper-in-chief Fartbongo HUSSEIN ObaMao Zedong, he took a job working under him.

He's got hot daughter(s). Nuff said.

1-5) Stupid DERP to distract you from:
6) He's a Job Creationist who wants to cut taxes on the rich and propagate the trickle-down myth like the rest of the GOP

If that is the qualification; Scott Brown for POTUS and John Kerry should have beaten Bush, GIS Alexandra Kerry

I yield my remaining time to Senator Ironstag.

TFA says he likes Captain Beefheart.

If it weren't for his politics I would vote for him on that basis alone.

Subby's title was humorous when Huntsman's campaign was unknown. But seeing as he's poised to make a surprise win in N.H., I think its a little hard to say he's unknown. Huntsman is the most qualified person to be POTUS, but if he doesn't make it, Obama would be a fool to not nominate him for S of S. GOP heads would esplode, but who cares, they blew would've blown their chance at an intelligent and co distention candidate
 
2011-12-21 02:50:49 PM
Stupid phone keyboard... *intelligent and consistent candidate

There's not a single clause of this post that is true. Seriously, not a single one. Although that last one might be true if you can explain what "co distention" means.

At the risk of sounding like studman69, I'm going to call her average at best. Her only claim to fame is wearing a see-through dress.

In a better world he would be running for president.

Chris Christie's running now?

Fact: he's daily gaining ground in N.H.

Fact: his successes domestically as a Gov., and abroad as a Diplomat make him a well versed candidate for POTUS. A position that arguable requires deft management of both domestic and foreign concerns.

Fact: if not POTUS, his keen foreign policy knowledge makes him far more qualified that any one else Obama could think of. Hilary isn't serving during the second term. Plus, Obama wouldn't pass up the P.R boom from being bipartisan.

As for your last statement, if you had read just below my original comment, I clarified that it was my mistype. I stand by the intent of my statement that Huntsman is intelligent and consistent. Our president should be so.done you can trust, and Huntsman is someone you can trust to put country before petty politics.

Average here is the USA is about 40 pounds heavier

God, I'd hate to be Huntsman and Johnson, buried at the bottom of the derp pile. No wonder Johnson went solo...

I dunno, like the younger Barbara Bush, she's got too much of her father's face, in this case, his horse teeth...

huntsman is actually the most conservative of the candidates. he's just the least derp-y. if republicans were smart, they'd rally around him.

then again, republicans aren't smart.
