Midknight Review -- new and revised: I may have mislabeled Jon Huntsman as a "liberal."

He does believe in global warming, but, truth be told, so does Newt Gingrich, or, he used to. And, he does not believe that we should have gone into Iraq. After that comparison, what do we know about Jon Huntsman?

He pro-life and, unlike Romney, has always been pro-life.
As Governor of Utah, he crafted the largest tax cut in that states history.
He helped write health care reform without the mandate.
He will work to reduce our import volume of oil. Currently, we buy 60% of our oil supply.
The United States must be prepared to deal with our enemies who may apply cheaper, asymmetrical approaches to the battle. Our military and defense establishment must be effective in the cyber sphere and we must be able to handle the increasingly lethal and accurate ballistic and cruise missiles being acquired by many of our potential foes.
He is pro-international trade increases, urging the completion of the Doha, international trade negotiations. Currently, nothing is being done in this regard.
The United States should immediately initiate bilateral negotiations with Japan, India, Taiwan and Brazil.

Admittedly, Jon Huntsman is more liberal than I would want him to be, but, with Huntsman on the stand, or Mitt Romney for that matter, Newt Gingrich is not the only intelligent candidate on the stage. In fact, even that comment - my comment - fails to represent the others on the campaign trail in the proper light. The GOP has been gifted with a very intelligent and knowledgeable group of candidates.

We have 12 or 13 debates to go by mid-January. The GOP process is very different from that of the typical Democrat primary season. The Grand Old Party really slugs it out during the primary season.

The point of this post is to keep a sense of objectiveness when it comes to leaders, Republican leaders, such as Jon Huntsman. Take the time to visit the Huntsman site. I am not pushing his candidacy, but being better informed is always a good thing. We were ignorant of Obama's background, for the most part. We do not need an oncore performance on our part.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
