Jon “that’s what you are, what am I?” Huntsman – (R-UT)

Via: Huffington Post

Jon Huntsman leveled harsh criticism at his party on Sunday evening, BuzzFeed’s Zeke Miller reported, comparing the Republican Party to communist China and questioning the strength of this year’s presidential field.

During an event at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Huntsman spoke candidly about his party’s flaws, lamenting the Republican National Committee’s decision to rescind an invitation to a major fundraising event after Huntsman called for a third-party candidate to enter the race.

“This is what they do in China on party matters if you talk off script,” Huntsman said.

Huntsman, a former Utah governor who dropped out of the GOP primary in January, served as U.S. ambassador to China under President Barack Obama.

He also criticized the Republican candidates’ foreign policy stances, particularly in regard to China.

“I don’t know what world these people are living in,” Huntsman said.

Huntsman vs Perry / Romney

Via: Think Progress

GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman’s top adviser, John Weaver, mocked Mitt Romney’s self-contradictory positions on global warming, and Rick Perry’s outright climate science denial:

“It appears that the only science that Mitt Romney believes in is the science of polling, and that science clearly was not a mandatory course for Governor Perry.”

GOP 2012 hopefuls fall short of ideal

It’s said in politics that you can’t beat somebody with nobody, and when you look at the 2012 presidential race, you definitely have somebody in the person of incumbent Barack Obama. One opponent might be Sarah Palin. Nobody. Or Newt Gingrich. Nobody. Or Mike Huckabee. Nobody. Or – it goes on.
