Jon Huntsman speaks on Gay Rights, Abortion

8-22-11. He's widely see as the most moderate of the current GOP candidates. One thing that disturbs me about the GOP candidates is how many of them use their children as political props. The worst, of course, is publicity whore Sara Palin, who exploits her Down's Syndrome son, Tripp. Then we have Michelle Bachmann, who mentions her adoptions at every opportunity, even though they're irrelevant to what ails America.

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

[DietDrMario]

Ron Paul or this guy is how it is really...

[cheergalify]

I'm sad that he dropped out! What an amazing man.

Jon Huntsman leaving the race while Santorum/Gingrich/Romney surges is exactly why Obama will win 2012.

Well I definitely like him, although I disagree gay rights and abortion is an important topics. Your taking away peoples right, the right to get married and to choose whether or not they wish to have a child. But yes our economic is truly asunder.

@DmitriyME1 I know you may not have to privilege of living in a gay person's world but yes the ability to get married has a direct impact on the finances, health, and protection of gay couples' children and spouses. Most of the things you can take for granted, gay couples have to think about and deal with everyday.

Romney will choose Huntsman as his Vice Presidential running mate. Don't fall for their trickery and nice talk.

@sensibleadult Well believe it or not, political affiliation isn't actually a great indicator of intelligence. I got a 35 on the ACT, so that can speak for my level of intelligence at least in an academic sense, not that it matters.

Huntsman dropped out anyway, so it looks like you got your wish.
