@MeistroBlue Obama ASKED for the recession we had.......He made it into a Depression. HIs policies have sunk the nation even lower......... NOW we are closer to a Depression than ever
You kidding me?! Obama asked for the recession that we had? You are absurd man, people like you should be banned from voting until you are smart enough and open enough to get an education. Yes, Obama just wanted to inherit the 11 trillion in debt the rising unemployment and the political anger and atmosphere.
Obama inherited the recession caused by republicans and republican policies and despite high unemployment Obama already created 4 million jobs and the economy is improving
Man, you are wrong about everything. When Obama won the elections and was sworn into office unemployment was 7.8% and it was rising every month for the last year so Obama was sworn into office with unemployment increasing very fast every month. That is the fault of Bush and the republicans and republican policies, that is a fact.
@MeistroBlue you realize he inhereted about a 1 trillion dollar debt and sold treasury bonds until it was a 14 trillion dollar debt? Please don't vote this election.
What are you talking about, how about you don't vote. Obama inherited a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit and 11 trillion in debt. There is a difference between debt and deficits and the deficit was 1.5 trillion the most in U.S. history and the first time our deficit reached the trillion dollar mark and he inherited 11 trillion in debt. You should be the one voting in this election since you made stupid comments like that and probably voted for Bush twice.
@2002lees WRONG, where did you hear that? FoxNews maybe ? Perry did in fact take stimulus money after INITIALLY refusing it...just like all the other Repub Governors...they all quietly took the money for thier states..while they loudly campaigned against it
This makes me almost willing to vote for him. If it weren't for the end of this and for the article referring it, I wouldnn't think this is an attack ad. The people that made this should be worried that this may actually drum up support for Huntsman rather than turn people away. This is why hard nosed repiblicans never do well in marketing...they never know what people, except themselves, really want.
I love it. This is an attack ad, eh? Only among the stupid who get mad at 'librul moochers" who "steal" to put bread on the table but utterly ignore the conservative moochers who destroy the value of retirement funds while cutting Social Security and Medicare, and at the same time take trillions of tax dollars in "incentives" for agribusiness, petrochemical and insurance companies (health, food and energy: the essentials).
Stay stupid and poor. That's the way your masters like it.
Jon Huntsman is literally a piece of shit(like Bono from southpark), another piece of shit RINO like Mccain 2.0. Tell that piece of shit to go back and work for Obama like he has for the past few years.
@thewhopdx : Do you know what cap and trade would mean to you? Do you still believe that climate change is an issue...at least climate change caused by people.
This makes me, a Republican of sound mind (who's becoming increasingly uncomfortable identifying as a Republican for obvious reasons), want to vote for Huntsman.
That is a crime calling yourself a republican and then falling for that witchcraft nonsense climate change.

Housing, please die if the wind whips through your cardboard box, you homeless liberals.
Hahahaha! All for "family values," eh? While telling poor people to "die." Gotcha.
Also, your "witchcraft" accusation is fitting given you are as brainless and hysterical as the morons who cried witch and hung innocent townsfolk in Salem over 300 years ago. Keep proving the "librrruls" right, buddy.
I'm an Obama Democrat who could actually see voting FOR Huntsman now. How telling that the makers of the ad were supposedly extolling Huntsman's deficits. Down and down that rabbit hole goes the modern GOP.
Believe it or not, this ad is supposed to make Huntsman look bad. This speaks volumes as to where the republican party is today. This was made by conservatives to display Huntsman's faults as a conservative but it actually makes him look reasonable, thoughtful, and just plain moderate.

I love how all the far-right Conservatives are comparing Huntsman to Bob Dole and John McCain, as if moderation means losing elections. McCain and Dole didn't lose because they were centrists. Both were old Republicans who were swept under the rug by the party for years, and only allowed to run as straw-men in elections where the Republicans were almost certain of defeat, by which time they were 71 and 73 years old. Moderation was not their problem. Age and party politics were.
@ILostMyBonnie sez: love how all the far-right Conservatives are comparing Huntsman to Bob Dole and John McCain, as if moderation means losing elections.
To paraphrase Dr. Charles Krauthammer: you complain because you want a squish Republican to run and you won't vote for him anyway.
@darclick ...except I would absolutely vote for Jon Huntsman, Jr. In a heartbeat. And I think I'm much more qualified than you to comment on MY voting preferences, seeing as how I'm...y'know...myself.
Go to Facebook, search for "Utahns Against Jon Huntsman, Jr. for President," then click on "Info" and read the description for even more liberal skeletons in Huntsman's closet.
huntsman will likely vacillate then cave under pressure from the left and allied media, make himself irrelevant by continually compromising with the left that will never be pressured in return to give up anything meaningful (they'll just ask for twice as much) on their march to a one party state. In the end not enough people will care to vote for him, as he will stand for nothing but bargain away all his positions.
Look, I don't agree with mainstream Republicans on quite a few issues, but that is because I take my stance on issues based on a principle of liberty and freedom. Being a "moderate" doesn't mean a thing if you are still picking and choosing your freedoms.
Let's take a serious look at a Republican who has consistently voted with the Constitution for the past 30 years. Ron Paul 2012.
I was pretty glad to see him leave Utah. He's a fine person, but not much of a Republican. I give anyone kudos for being an independent thinker, but you have to be right about your positions, not just free from partisanship.
If you think this makes him sound good, you're not getting the subtly of the humor. Having Democrats support you sounds "cross-cutting," but in his case it was compromising. Healthcare insurance SHOULD be affordable--in a FREE MARKET. And supporting McCain was disastrous.
@darhar4 There is no "Free Market" in which health care is affordable. Insurance companies hold their profits too dear.
I understand and sympathize right up to the point where my mom has to spend her life's savings to get though the last few years of her life because insurance companies find it more profitable to insure many pools of 1 rather than 1 pool of many.
@darhar4 In a truly free market there would be no health insurance companies as they create exactly NOTHING but interference between a doctor and his patients. Eliminate the greedy middle-man.
@darhar4 yep, how can anyone trust their health to a bureaucracy that's run ss and m/care to the rocks they're on now? And may take the US with them? SO many promises were made when these programs (and others) were started by the government. They would always be there, solvent, never growing as they are now, etc.
Health insurance has been deliberately made unaffordable to force a gov. entitlement program that will massively enrich special interests at our expense. Free markets ARE the answer.
So wait... is this a pro or anti-Huntsman video? Because he sounds like a pretty good candidate after all that. He's probably against women's health, though, or they would have said something about that.
Republicans seems to have a death wish for 2012 - Palin, Gingrich, Romney and Pawlenty are good punchlines, not presidential candidates. This man seems to be reasonable so he is clearly unqualified for the Republican nomination.
And it's amazing how many scared poor people are suckered into voting against their own interests in favor of sucking up to the wealthy. to paraphrase john Steinbeck: they're not poor after all, they're merely temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
Someone not crazy and semi reasonable for a conservative. Of course the Republicans would reject him so they can have an extremist like Palin run lol.
@thewhopdx Hunstman=Liberal=No thanks. Reasonable/likable don't get hand in hand with far left policies like turning our country into the cleanest 3rd world economy in the nation. Look at the case in point in california, which is a case study in the failure of liberal ideas. Go Perry/Fortuno!
You are attacking California which is a mess not because of liberal policies but many conservative polices. Yes California is a liberal state but it is a state that has conservative politicians just like liberal politicians and California is hurt temporary right now which is what it is temporary because of many bad conservative policies. And the fact that you vote for Perry is laughable, Texas is doing just as bad as California and is doing worse in many areas.
Texas has a higher poverty rate than California, Texas has a worse education system than California with more high school and college drop outs and ranks 50th which is dead last in most high school drop outs. Texas has more pollution than California and is the most polluted state, most of the jobs created in Texas are minimum wage with terrible or not benefits, it ranks 1st in most minimum wage jobs. Texas has a huge drought and California doesn't have one.
The debt in Texas is about the same length to state GDP-ratio than California, so Texas has a ton of debt. Texas actually declined in GDP overall from 2009 to 2010 where as California's GDP increased from 2009 to 2010. Now Texas as of 2011 ranks third in most fortune 500 companies with California beating it at being second and New York now being first . Texas also has a much worst healthcare system than California. And with Perry as governor Texas got worse.

And with Perry as governor Texas got worse.
The reasons Dole and McCain lost is because they were both 112 years old and running against younger and more dynamic candidates. That, and the truly sorry record of republican governance, of course.
@mlrose529 They were clueless careerists and they ran against conservatism, or didn't even know what it was. A conservative congress is what kept clinton's young and dynamic sorry governance from taking the country off the rails in the mid 90s. Its the lack of conservatism that helped the US go off the rails under the dem congress' sorry governance from 2007 on. How much of that sorry governance did the young, dynamic obama vote for under pres. bush II (who campaigned against conservatives)?
america is a joke! the amount you waste is ridiculous.. you refuse to turn your air con off all-year long, you waste everything... you are destroying the planet. It's time you grow up and start caring
@jamesbtw1 The only people who can tell us that are Europeans who live in a completely different society. All the other problems with planet waste come from people having to shred everything to feed the billion Chinese (no one ever yells at them) the billion Indians (no one ever yells at them either). The correlation of pollution follows the population growth of over populated, dead countries, not industrialized countries. Go yell at them to stop spitting kids out right and left.
@vantarinitel basically your argument is backed by no facts or real evidence - the pollution is much greater in america, who are the 8th largest emitters of CO2 per capita, whereas the chinese and indians are 80th and 140th respectively. You need to blame your country for the problems in other countries - population growth, that is sustainable, is healthy for developing nations trying to industrialise. And no one shreds anything to feed the chinese - we produce more than enough food for everyone
Let's hear it for our moderate Founding Fathers! They really got things done. ... oh, wait. There weren't any moderate Founders. Hard chargers, each and every one of them.
The framers of the constitution, I'm pretty sure, believed in a free exchange of ideas from across the spectrum. Plus, a great many of them were atheists or at least believed in keeping religion out of government and vice-versa. They also warned against the tyranny of the wealthy elites. You have no clue what you are talking about.
All of these sound clips in this video are why I will support Jon Huntsman if he runs, because he is what this country needs. Moderation on both sides, and someone who can get stuff done. There is a Reason Utah was not affected as hard by the recession in the last several years, and why Utah continues to attract business like Adobe and others. There is a reason Utah leads in health care research. It is because of Jon Huntsman and his policies.
Dropped out of high school, joined a rock band, got a GED, went to the U, and his only private sector experience was a position at his dad's company. Sounds like a guy who can lead other people.
A poor student whose only private-sector experience was running his dad's company. If he ran that company into the ground he could be the second-coming of George W. Bush.
"everything Huntsman says in the video—we should tax carbon emissions, we should use fiscal stimulus in a deep recession, we should have a universal health care system—is in fact perfectly consistent with conservative politics." - Yglesias
It's completely absurd that you would be so reasonable and smart. That's not what America needs! The GOP will destroy you, as they should, for your very understanding and practical approach to America's problems.
How dare you conservatives actually hold to your principles. Don't you know that Jon Huntsman is EXACTLY what the Conservatives need in a candidate. Don't you remember how great a candidate the moderates, Bob Dole and John McCain were! Those ideologues like George W. Bush and Ronald W. Reagan were crazies and could never win elections!!
And now, in the next 18 months we will see Obama transform back into the quasi moderate/conservative so that he can con the hypnotic robots...YES WE CAN
Dole and McCain lost because they were 100 years old and running against young, dynamic candidates. And your hero Ronald Reagan supported raising taxes, negotiating with the communists, environmental protections, and yes, granted amnesty to illegal immigrants. in other words, he would be the most liberal candidate in this election. it tickles me to watch right-wingers distort history by projecting their own politics on their so-called hero...who they clearly do not remember.
Human in name only like most republican/teabaggin/conservatives. So until the primordial oooze that happens to be the republicans and those they represent grow brains, I will never ever vote for phonies like this character. PERIOD.
The ad is pretty damn funny and a great stab at political satire. Problem is, no one knows who this joker is or even what he looks like! He's a legend in his own mind!! Well, for 5 minutes, I guess, he's good for a laugh - and a spitoon...
@rushlimbang No it won't. This is EXACTLY Huntsman's philosophy and record. His biggest liabilities are his centrism and common sense, and the Republican party simply will not stand for either of those things in this day and age.
I'm actually a libertarian, but I think Jon Hunstman is the most feasible option. He's the ONLY Governor who's introduced statewide education vouchers, and the Cato institute has ranked him as first out of 50 for cutting taxes. Actions speak louder than words.

huntsman will likely vacillate then cave under pressure from the left and allied media, make himself irrelevant by continually compromising with the left that will never be pressured in return to give up anything meaningful (they'll just ask for twice as much) on their march to a one party state. In the end not enough people will care to vote for him, as he will stand for nothing but bargain away all his positions.

Look, I don't agree with mainstream Republicans on quite a few issues, but that is because I take my stance on issues based on a principle of liberty and freedom. Being a "moderate" doesn't mean a thing if you are still picking and choosing your freedoms.
Let's take a serious look at a Republican who has consistently voted with the Constitution for the past 30 years. Ron Paul 2012.

I was pretty glad to see him leave Utah. He's a fine person, but not much of a Republican. I give anyone kudos for being an independent thinker, but you have to be right about your positions, not just free from partisanship.
If you think this makes him sound good, you're not getting the subtly of the humor. Having Democrats support you sounds "cross-cutting," but in his case it was compromising. Healthcare insurance SHOULD be affordable--in a FREE MARKET. And supporting McCain was disastrous.

@darhar4 There is no "Free Market" in which health care is affordable. Insurance companies hold their profits too dear.
I understand and sympathize right up to the point where my mom has to spend her life's savings to get though the last few years of her life because insurance companies find it more profitable to insure many pools of 1 rather than 1 pool of many.
Single Payer is the answer.

@darhar4 In a truly free market there would be no health insurance companies as they create exactly NOTHING but interference between a doctor and his patients. Eliminate the greedy middle-man.
mlrose529 9 months ago
@darhar4 yep, how can anyone trust their health to a bureaucracy that's run ss and m/care to the rocks they're on now? And may take the US with them? SO many promises were made when these programs (and others) were started by the government. They would always be there, solvent, never growing as they are now, etc.
Health insurance has been deliberately made unaffordable to force a gov. entitlement program that will massively enrich special interests at our expense. Free markets ARE the answer.

You are attacking California which is a mess not because of liberal policies but many conservative polices. Yes California is a liberal state but it is a state that has conservative politicians just like liberal politicians and California is hurt temporary right now which is what it is temporary because of many bad conservative policies. And the fact that you vote for Perry is laughable, Texas is doing just as bad as California and is doing worse in many areas.

Texas has a higher poverty rate than California, Texas has a worse education system than California with more high school and college drop outs and ranks 50th which is dead last in most high school drop outs. Texas has more pollution than California and is the most polluted state, most of the jobs created in Texas are minimum wage with terrible or not benefits, it ranks 1st in most minimum wage jobs. Texas has a huge drought and California doesn't have one.

The debt in Texas is about the same length to state GDP-ratio than California, so Texas has a ton of debt. Texas actually declined in GDP overall from 2009 to 2010 where as California's GDP increased from 2009 to 2010. Now Texas as of 2011 ranks third in most fortune 500 companies with California beating it at being second and New York now being first . Texas also has a much worst healthcare system than California. And with Perry as governor Texas got worse.

The reasons Dole and McCain lost is because they were both 112 years old and running against younger and more dynamic candidates. That, and the truly sorry record of republican governance, of course.
mlrose529 9 months ago
@mlrose529 They were clueless careerists and they ran against conservatism, or didn't even know what it was. A conservative congress is what kept clinton's young and dynamic sorry governance from taking the country off the rails in the mid 90s. Its the lack of conservatism that helped the US go off the rails under the dem congress' sorry governance from 2007 on. How much of that sorry governance did the young, dynamic obama vote for under pres. bush II (who campaigned against conservatives)?

@jamesbtw1 The only people who can tell us that are Europeans who live in a completely different society. All the other problems with planet waste come from people having to shred everything to feed the billion Chinese (no one ever yells at them) the billion Indians (no one ever yells at them either). The correlation of pollution follows the population growth of over populated, dead countries, not industrialized countries. Go yell at them to stop spitting kids out right and left.
vantarinitel 9 months ago
@vantarinitel basically your argument is backed by no facts or real evidence - the pollution is much greater in america, who are the 8th largest emitters of CO2 per capita, whereas the chinese and indians are 80th and 140th respectively. You need to blame your country for the problems in other countries - population growth, that is sustainable, is healthy for developing nations trying to industrialise. And no one shreds anything to feed the chinese - we produce more than enough food for everyone

All of these sound clips in this video are why I will support Jon Huntsman if he runs, because he is what this country needs. Moderation on both sides, and someone who can get stuff done. There is a Reason Utah was not affected as hard by the recession in the last several years, and why Utah continues to attract business like Adobe and others. There is a reason Utah leads in health care research. It is because of Jon Huntsman and his policies.

Dole and McCain lost because they were 100 years old and running against young, dynamic candidates.
