Huntsman calls GOP congressional leadership "inconsequential"

[Josh/Devilman88]

Huntsman '12! He is my kind of Republican!

Oh, BTW if Huntsman runs and wins the primary this is one Obama voter that would switch sides.

Huntsman goes farther in his critique of the GOP in this interview in the Politico:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

He calls the post-Major Tories "a very narrow party of angry people", and likens that to the current GOP.....not exactly the sort of thing typically expected from someone who governs one of the most conservative states in the country.

He just gets better and better each day.

Huntsman is an idiot and has no conception of where the Republican Party is going.  McCain II, anyone?

And where is the republican party going?

Right.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA you are funny right there. If the move right they will never win another election in the United States of America.

What makes you say this?  When I say they are going "right" I mean in relation to McCain.  Remember that Huntsman was a big supporter of John McCain.  But the Republican Party is moving right, not left, moving toward personalities and policies like those of Palin and Jindal.

Huntsman will not get the nomination.  For two reasons (there's more, but the two main reasons): He's Mormon.  Second, traditional conservatives are going to be very suspicious of him and they will always be especially when he talks about supporting civil unions or whatnot.  Many Republicans talk about going back to their principles, but Huntsman never had any of these principles to begin with.  That is a serious problem.

Primary issues for Republicans:
1. Abortion
2. Gay marriage
3. Immigration
4. Guns
5. Foreign policy
6. Small government
7. Tax cuts

Only candidates with conservative positions on these issues will be the nominee in 2012.  Huntsman is Republican only because of his support for business interests.  That is not a good place to be.  The Republican Party is going to become more populist, more conservative, and yes, more religious.  Do not expect the Republican Party to embrace gay marriage, civil unions, or anything like that anytime soon.

No I knew what you were talking about and Palin and Jindal will never win an election, they are to far right. In a normal year Obama wouldn't have won because he is to far left. Most Presidents are Moderate right to Moderate left.

Also if the Republican party want to win over new voters, because most of their voters are dieing off(old people), then they need to move toward the middle on gay marriage, abortion etc.

How is he so far left again?

Just look at his voting record in the Senate...
