Read here. Jon Huntsman, another big government, big spending, liberal-loving Republican, has had a love affair with not only Obama, but with the Pelosi approved 'cap & trade' schemes that she tried to jam down the throats of Americans.
Recently, Huntsman had this to say about global warming in an obvious attempt to defend his desire for the big government, 'cap & trade' CO2 tax scheme:
“I’m not a meteorologist. All I know is 90 percent of the scientists say climate change is occurring. If 90 percent of the oncological community said something was causing cancer we’d listen to them.”
Well, I'm not a presidential candidate but I believe at least 90% of Republicans know that Jon Huntsman is just another self-absorbed, power hungry, big tax, and big spending liberal Democrat. If Huntsman had any principles, he'd listen to that 90% and run as a Democrat presidential candidate.
I think that Pawlenty's admitting it was a stupid mistake is one of the best things we have going among the candidates.

Most of the candidates in play on the GOP side have been gullible on this issue in the past. Romney, Huntsman, McCain, Gingrich, Pawlenty (who admitted it was a stupid mistake) are all tainted. They're OUT as far as I'm concerned. Mitch Daniels may be okay. Can somebody talk Rick Perry into running? We couldn't really expect these bureaucrats to know anything about this issue early on. But now, awareness is growing by leaps and bounds in the GOP. I'm looking for someone with InHofe's commitment to kill this twelve headed monster.

Hmmm . . . you may have saved me some time. I was going to look into Huntsman's ideas to see where he was as a candidate, but if this correctly reflects his views on climate change (and I will take time to follow the links and at least determine that), then I don't need to vote for him.
Does anyone know if Romney is adopting a more reasonable stance? I know last time around even McCain started harping on climate change as a problem, which was disappointing (although he may have backed off a bit now).
