Is that part of his platform?
I don't know if it is part of his platform but when asked about it in a interview, he said it helped him achieve what he did, and would support keeping existing programs in place.

Except the opposing party doesn't chose your nominee.
When is Huntsman going to get his time in the limelight?

I'm not sure I believe that PR....it seems to me like they are looking for the farthest right candidate they can get, and then hope he/she can beat Obama. Looking at it from the left, it seems the candidates most likely to attract disenchanted Democrats, and appeal to independents, are the same candidates the Tea Party Republicans dismiss as too moderate. I'm not even sure a far right candidate can win the nomination much less the general election....meanwhile the Republicans are developing a lot of talking points against the more moderate candidates which you know will be used by the Democrats in the general election.
I'm not sure what "far right" means. Living within our means? Is that a "far right" issue? As of yet, I haven't seen a far right candidate. Can you please let me know what part of any of the candidate's platforms are "far right"? I guess Ron Paul has some...but he is nowhere near the actual rep candidate.

The difference, as I see it, is that voters perceive the presidential race as more important to the nation's direction than the senate and house races. Personally I think that is wrong, but that's what I see.
The question for you archer....do we want more of the same, or do we want something radically different. The same ole same ole isn't working. Don't you support something different, or is 9% unemployment and digging ourselves deeper and deeper into a deficit for nothing what you want?
