The Only Adult In The Running

How insane is it that the GOP wants to encourage and support flip-floppers like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, candidates that changes their opinions on vital matters (health care mandates, corporate legislation, separation of church and state, science, etc.) depending on who’s standing in the room, over the conservative fiscal record of Huntsman, who didn’t comprise his beliefs when building his state’s health safety net?

So I am making a bold suggestion here: vote for Huntsman. He may not be the perfect fit, but he’s a damn sight better than the slop we’ve got right now. While his chances are next to none, I salute him for sticking it out, trying desperately to tack the GOP away from the ultra-conservative shoals his party seems hell-bent on shipwrecking itself upon. If by some miracle he manages to get the party’s nomination, then Obama and his war machine might be forced to actually talk about issues, and that is the only way we can avoid another four years of “Change.”
