Jon Huntsman is such a dork
he has someone else ride the motorcycle in the commercial, but then appears in the riding suit saying he's a candidate. And really, who wears a riding SUIT while joy riding in the desert?

3. Actually, he is very wealthy, and like Mittens he earned his money the old fashioned way...
He inherited it.

6. Ahh..
He also was a missionary in Taiwan. I lived in Taiwan for four years and I couldn't stand the swarms of those vultures.

Huntsman Campaign Fundraising Off Of Civil Unions Legislation He Never Signed
By Travis Waldron posted from ThinkProgress LGBT on Jun 21, 2011 at 11:45 am

Former Utah Gov. and Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman (R) announced this morning that he is running for president. In advance of that announcement, a campaign consultant from the California chapter of The Log Cabin Republicans, the conservative gay-rights advocacy group, circulated a fundraising letter seeking to capitalize on Huntsman’s support for civil unions while he was governor.

The letter, written by California Log Cabin Republicans Vice Chairman and Huntsman campaign employee Charles T. Moran, states plainly that Huntsman “signed into law Utah’s first Civil Unions legislation” — a simplistic declaration that could easily mislead voters into believing Huntsman actually signed legislation to legalize civil unions in Utah:

5. At least Huntsman is a real chickenhawk. That's an essential qualification for Repubs
The Republicons luvs to follow chickenhawks, and has a long tradition of general chickenhawkery.

So Huntsman meets the mandatory core republicon personality deficiency.

8. I could never be a republican, I just couldn't withstand the humiliation
of having my intellect always being underestimated by those seeking my support.
It would be like being in a perpetual state of, the last one to get the joke.
