RWers upset at Republican (!) Governor Jon Huntsman of Utah (!!)'s support of civil unions

"(KCPW News) Legislators and leaders from conservative groups spoke out against Governor Jon Huntsman's support of civil unions and gay rights yesterday on Capitol Hill. Utah Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka said she is disappointed in the Governor."

4. He is actually a decent guy for a Repub. Closer to Crist and Ahnuld than Palin and Jindal.

Heck, if Obama still needs a Republican for Commerce...

3. I was at a conference in Utah a couple of years ago where one of Al Gore's friends

gave the keynote.

This guy said that Huntsman was one of the good guys WRT the environment. Apparently he's one of the good guys when it comes to civil rights as well. We'll have to get him to turn the corner and realize that it's marriage we deserve, but at least he's partway there. That's promising.

6. How dare people make decisions about their own life that is contrary to what conservatives think.

We should all live the way they believe we should. Don't think! Just sign the papers.

Hey, I got a Valentine heart! Yippee. I love you back!

7. Notice that he waited until he was safely reelected to announe his support

And if I'm not mistaken, he's term limited too.
