WAKE UP AMERICA--GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN HUNSTMAN

As the GOP field of potential Presidential candidates expands, activists are smart to approach this growing field with scrutiny. Newcomer, John Hunstman warrants distrust on several counts. Media buzz around his candidacy has been generated nearly overnight. This despite the fact that immediately after entering the race, he delayed his first opportunity to present himself on the grounds he was "ill."


WAM reaction to Huntsman's candidacy is ambivalent and we urge you, as a reform-minded activist, to exercise caution on several counts. What do we know about Huntsman? He has the 'right' media image to succeed. But is this a real plus or a red herring? Wake Up America Movement's in-depth analysis of the 2010 elections revealed, nationwide, several mysterious candidate entries were used as a rouse to confuse voters and drag down opposition to Democrats. Now, with Presidential fever setting in, it's smart to ask, is Huntsman's entry into the race another example of this covert strategy. Here's why:

Shortly after he announced his candidacy (in New Jersey of all places?!) FOX found the time to give him an extended interview (elaborately arranged out on a boat with the Statue of Liberty right behind him.) If all this sounds strange, well, obviously it was. During this Hannity one-to-one, his support of free U.S. education for all children of illegal aliens was mentioned twice - but Huntsman refused to comment on this hot topic both times.

That alone should give pause to all patriots. But that's not all.

Huntsman's prime resume point is his Obama appointed post as Ambassador to China. Is that really a plus? Let's see: There's that Communist country's full-light-display celebration at the Empire State building in 2009 (where a similar request to honor Mother Theresa was refused). Then there's last year's festive official U.S.state dinner of welcome for their anti-human rights leader. Not to mention our huge trade imbalance with China (contributed to by their currency manipulation) and its accompanying high cost of loss of U.S. jobs. Finally, there's China's ongoing expansion of diplomatic (and other) ties with the U.S. most fevered enemies.

The current state of our relations with China shouldn't be a plus for those who have helped frame it that way, as Huntsman has done. In interview, Hunstman has defended his prior description of Obama as a 'great man' as a remark made on the grounds that this 'important ambassadorship' was given to him, as a Republican. Now he's praised for his 'civility' toward the current leadership which he's asking to oppose. If that sounds fishy, here's more:

Hunstman supported Cap and Trade before he was against it. He now claims it just can't be implemented in a weak economy. But he's made no remarks to indicate he questions its authenticity.

Finally, we're told that Obama's campaign manager says Huntsman is the opponent he fears the most. Are we to believe that's true - or is it that statement intended to manipulate naive Republicans into his camp?

So what's really going on in this sudden skyrocketing new candidacy? Supports China, supports illegals, could delay but not oppose Cap and Trade - and believes it's important to 'respect' Obama. Since many are looking for an 'attractive' substitute for Romney, seems that we've been thrown some bait. Looks like a snake in the grass to US.
