A Moderate Republican



He also adopts little azn neglecterinos


So you prolly haven't heard of John Huntsman unless you watched the debates or follow politics fairly closely. He is part of the bottom of the barrel of the current douche flotilla that constitutes the Republican party's entries into the 2012 presidential election. Wanna guess why he's doing so poorly? Listen to what he's saying:

When we take a position that isn't willing to embrace evolution, when we take a position that basically runs counter to what 98 of 100 climate scientists have said, what the National Academy of Science - Sciences has said about what is causing climate change and man's contribution to it, I think we find ourselves on the wrong side of science, and, therefore, in a losing position....I can't remember a time in our history where we actually were willing to shun science and become a - a party that - that was antithetical to science. I'm not sure that's good for our future and it's not a winning formula.

Holy Shit! SCIENCE? This guy is fucking batshit. Now check this out:

Well, I wouldn't necessarily trust any of my opponents right now, who were on a recent debate stage with me, when every single one of them would have allowed this country to default. You can imagine, even given the uncertainty of the marketplace the last several days and even the last couple of weeks, if we had defaulted the first time in the history of the greatest country that ever was, being 25 percent of the world's GDP and having the largest financial services sector in this world by a long shot, if we had defaulted, Jake, this marketplace would be in absolute turmoil. And people who are already losing enough as it is on their 401(k)s and retirement programs and home valuations, it would have been catastrophic.

Wow. This is the first time I've heard a Republican at the national level attempt to appeal to a moderate electorate since probably 1994 or so. Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, moderation in the opposition party right now is going over about as well as a lead zeppelin. But, hopefully, it will start to take off, the way things did the last time someone said that ' that's going to go over about as well as a lead zeppelin'. You know who that was said about? Led Zeppelin.
