So do you also think Eric Holder orchestrated the OKC bombing?

Idk about Holder... But look at all of the recent FBI stings that follow similar patterns to OKC and WTC '93.

Paid FBI informants planting bombs w\ real or fake components. They get to say they're fighting terror even if they're the ones planning the operations and recruiting the people to pull them off.

John Huntsman is pretty much the only guy I would be willing to vote for in the republican primary, and in the general election. The man is clearly intelligent and remarkably rational in spite of his Mormon faith. I doubt Obama is gonna get my vote so I guess I'll just be going to the polls and voting on some equally hare brained California Propositions.

I agree that Huntsman is an interesting candidate. I value his Pacific Rim trade experience and the fact that he was our ambassador to China. Unfortunately, I can't envision a scenario where he gets the nomination, but a debate between Huntsman and Obama would be very interesting. After all, Obama appointed him to the ambassadorship to China.

As for the Mormon thing, it does not seem like he or Romney can escape that fact. Whenever they are mentioned, it is always Huntsman/Romney, the Mormon. They both appear very capable of separating their religion from public office, and I don't think anyone needs fear a banning of coffee from the White House. The few Mormons I have known I can't say enough good things about. Great people who are extremely tolerant of other religions or atheists, and from what I understand that faith places a high value on public service.

Many discredited Cain's fitness for office when he stated that he would not appoint any Muslims, yet knock Huntsman/Cain for their choice of religion? :confused:

Agreed. I really like Huntsman, even though I'm what you would probably call a moderate (and a recovering libertarian/Paulbot). Huntsman is totally reasonable and his religion doesn't get in the way of duty. I'm an atheist and I think Huntsman would be a suitable leader despite the religion. Huntsman as the nominee would almost ensure I vote Republican in this election, but it doesn't look like it'll happen right now.
