I am completely mystified as to why anyone would support Jon Huntsman. I’ve written about this before but in light of his “surge” in New Hampshire I felt the need to revisit this subject. This also in light of his labeling of conservatives as loony tunes.

From Byron York:

In an interview with Politico Friday, Huntsman said he subscribes to the theory of cycles of history. “I believe we are in one such cycle,” Huntsman said. “I think that cycle ultimately takes us to a sane Republican Party based on real ideas.”

It did not take a stretch of inference to conclude that Huntsman was suggesting the current Republican Party is not sane. Asked about his comments after the coffee shop appearance Sunday, Huntsman at first answered, “I’m encouraged by Paul Ryan. I’m encouraged by people who are putting forward real ideas in the Republican Party. We need more of that than we need theatrics.”

But what about the suggestion that the GOP is nuts? “We are sane when we stand up and we talk about real solutions for the American people,” Huntsman said. “We are insane when we stand up and light our hair on fire, when we engage in political theatrics and soundbites that just don’t make any sense. The American people need real ideas, and they ultimately want to be brought together. They want this country to work.”

This is why I’ll never support Jon Huntsman:

1. He worked in the Obama Administration. That alone completely discounts him in my opinion. I wouldn’t vote for Huntsman for some of the same reasons I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she ran for the GOP nomination. He was on the side of the enemy and now he wants to switch allegiances out of political opportunism? No thanks.

2. He oozes with arrogance. Exemplified well by his recent sanity comments but also throughout the campaign. Let’s not forget about his tweet ridiculing those who question evolution and man caused global warming.

3. If he were to run the country the way he has run his presidential campaign then we will be speaking Chinese by the end of his term. They couldn’t even spell his name right in his announcement that he would be running. He has run away from his conservative record as governor. Anyone who is ashamed of their own record is not someone I could support. Especially when that record isn’t bad all things considered. He has spent this election telling conservatives how stupid we are and what imbeciles we must be for not coronating him king of the Republicans.

Honestly, I disfavor Jon Huntsman almost as much as Ron Paul.
