John Huntsman was appointed as the US ambassador to China by Barack Obama. He then served in that post for about a year and a half, having no apparent problems with President Obama's rampant socialism, destruction of the Bill of Rights, forcing the gay agenda on the country, wrecking the economy, putting Jim-Bob Bubba personally out of work, and the fact that he isn't even really a citizen of the USA.
And somehow he is now supposed to be able to survive the GOP primary in 2012. The nominee might not be Sarah Palin, but it sure as hell isn't going to be John Huntsman. The GOP establishment managed to put John McCain at the top of the ticket in 2008, but since then they've completely lost control of the beast they created. The Tea Party movement was devastating for the us in 2010, but it's our best hope in 2012.
