I was never a fan of Jon Huntsman. Sharmuta would always proclaim he was the future of the GOP. This was back in 2009. He then took a job as Obama’s ambassador to China. While supposedly serving Obama, he was plotting his Presidential run. This brings into question his loyalty and dedication to his job.

Bedsides his character flaws, his positions are on the Left. He is a believer in Global Warming. He has supported Cap-N-Trade which would cripple our economy. So Leftist are his views, that Harry Reid endorsed him for the Republican nomination!

Washington (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ventured into the 2012 presidential waiting game Tuesday, offering up his pick for the Republican presidential nomination.

“If I had a choice, I would favor Huntsman over Romney,” Reid told reporters after a meeting on Capitol Hill. “But I don’t have a choice in that race.”

When asked if the country is ready for a Mormon president, the Nevada senator said they are not ready for Mitt Romney. Reid, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and Romney are all members of the Church of Latter Day Saints.

Jon, can you do us a favor. Go challenge Obama for the Democratic nomination. We have enough Liberals running for the 2012 GOP nomination. We don’t need anymore!

For a moment when I read this headline, I thought he was considering running. Well the good news is I read wrong. John McCain has scoffed at the idea at running in 2012.

McCain was asked in an NBC “Today” show interview whether he’d get into the sweepstakes if it looked like there were no clear front-runner.

The Arizona Republican smiled and told interviewer Ann Curry, “There’s a long history of masochism in my family, but not so severe” as to make him want to run again.

John McCain should just go away.

Newth Gingrich’s joke of a candidacy keeps getting funnier. Now his finance team has given up on the washed up former House Speaker.

ATLANTA — The top fundraisers for Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign have abandoned his struggling bid amid anemic fundraising and heavy spending. 

Campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond is confirming to The Associated Press that fundraising director Jody Thomas and fundraising consultant Mary Heitman have left the team.

It’s a warp Newt, give it up!

Mitt Romney: Job Killer

The Progressive media is hyping Mitt Romney. They are claiming that jobs and the economy are his strength. This is not the case as therecords indicate. As head of Bain Capital, Mitt Romney specialized in buying out small and medium companies. He than would outsource the jobs and sell the company to a bigger one. The result is Bain Capital destroyed whole towns and many families. As Governor of Massachusetts, the state ranked 47th in job creation. Romney is a job killer, not creator.

You see, Romney made a Mittloadof cash using what’s known as a leveraged buyout. He’d buy a company with ‘money borrowed against their assets, groomed them to be sold off and in the interim collect huge management fees.’ Once Mitt had control of the company, he’d cut frivolous spending like jobs, workers, employees, and jobs. Just like America’s sweetheart, Gordon Gecko. […]

“Because Mitt Romney knows just how to trim the fat. He rescued businesses like Dade Behring, Stage Stories, American Pad and Paper, and GS Industries, then his company sold them for a profit of $578 million after which all of those firms declared bankruptcy. Which sounds bad, but don’t worry, almost no one worked there anymore

[….]

Complicating matters, during Romney’s only service in public office, his state’s record on job creation was “one of the worst in the country.” Adding insult to injury, “By the end of his four years in office, Massachusetts had squeezed out a net gain in payroll jobs of just 1 percent, compared with job growth of 5.3 percent for the nation as a whole.”

How bad is Romney’s record? During his tenure, Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 statesin jobs growth.

Nice track record there Mittens. If I know Romney’s true record, you don’t think Obama does?
