REBUTTAL?!?!?!?!?!

 

[jax]

So did perry just agree or disagree with ron...?

 

[ChristianAnarchist]

Dr. Paul's name mentioned again...

 

[walt]

That short yellow school bus did not arrive for Perry....

 

[european]

LOL Perry knows TWO things if he needs to remember more he forgets them ofcourse

 

[Created4]

thought ron responded well to frothy. that was a good attack by frothy. it plays to the ignorant fears perpetuated by the msm about ron but i think ron handled it well

What he said was good, but WAY too short. He should have said that he would NOT recall the Navy, it would have been there in the Straight of Hormuz, that his policy would result is a STRONGER defense, etc.

 

[ashura]

I have to admit I do like Perry's rhetoric on a part-time federal congress.

 

[pauliticalfan]

UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[libertskee]

cuttin ron off when he looked like he was gonna kill it...

 

[braane]

Ron Paul asks for a rebuttal... nope, commercial time.

 

[Jtorsella]

Ron just asked for a question but didn't get it.

 

[llepard]

So did perry just agree or disagree with ron...?

Even he does not know.....

Jon Huntsman Does Have A Record…

Signed the Western Climate Initiative (2008) Initiative requires partner states to set regional goals for greenhouse gas reduction, develop methods for achieving those goals. Initiative also lays the foundation for and international cap and trade program with the US and Canada.

Joined the Western Regional Climate Action Partnership

“During a news conference Monday in the Governor's Mansion, Huntsman and Schwarzenegger were highly critical of the Bush administration's failure to take significant action to lower greenhouse gas emissions, notably carbon dioxide, that are blamed for global warming.” Deseret News

“It also would set up the "cap and trade" policy in which pollution control credits could be purchased.” Deseret News

“They have agreed to work toward setting standards to reduce greenhouse emissions under a market-based program called “cap and trade.” Deseret News

Established a Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change in 2006. (Club For Growth)

Defended Cap and Trade in 2008 debate. (Club For Growth)

Appeared in ad with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gov. Brian Schweitzer telling Congress to act on climate change. Huntsman said in the ad:
“Now it’s time for Congress to act by capping greenhouse-gas pollution.”

“Huntsman told the New York Times that action on the national level was preferable to the patchwork system that state governments have been putting in place.” Deseret News

Statement from his office about the ad:
“This ad is an effort to encourage congressional action, which is imperative to a nationwide, comprehensive approach to clean our air...”Deseret News

“As governor, he took heat for his involvement in a program aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The Western Climate Initiative, which included six states and three Canadian provinces, had a cap-a-trade provision and encouraged fuel-efficient vehicles, renewable energy use and energy conservation.” Washington Times

From 2005-2009 Utah’s population plus inflation increased 21.2%, yet total spending increased 33.8%. Club For Growth White Paper

Per capita spending increased by 10% annually. Cato

Huntsman flip-flopped on stimulus (Politifact 6/21/11)

Supported of TARP - said “I don’t think there’s any way around it.” Huntsman's Clintonian Dodge Daily Caller 7/7/11

Said Stimulus Should have been bigger:
"Well, if I were in Congress, I probably would not have voted in favor (of the Recovery Act), because it didn`t have enough stimulus and probably wasn`t big enough to begin with. 2/24/09 on Cavuto - Politifact

"The size of about a trillion dollars was floated by Mark Zandi, who’s a very respected economist. I tend to believe what he is saying about the size of the package, which didn’t necessarily hit the mark in terms of size." Politico 2/24/09

Stimulus would be "would be a welcome relief in a year like this" Youtube 1/15/11

Said Obama’s stimulus wasn’t large enough:
“I guess in hindsight we can all say that there were some fundamental flaws with it. It probably wasn’t large enough and, number two,there probably wasn’t enough stimulus effect.” Daily Caller

“Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. appeared on two cable news programs Monday defending Utah’s decision to take federal stimulus dollars and made an effort to look presidential while doing it. With Washington, D.C., as a backdrop, the governor took a jab at Republicans for resorting to “gratuitous political griping” and “carping” on MSNBC over President Obama’s federal stimulus bill, which will bring $1.5 billion to Utah.” February 24, 2009, Deseret Morning News Redstate

Please tell me you've got an anti-Huntsman ad ready.
Blind Freddy could see the media would want to pump Huntsman after they did so to Frothy in Iowa.

OMG, I just saw Ron raise his hand and they said to go to a break, Ron looked pissed off! @#$%^ please please buy some anti-Huntsman air time

 

[ChristianAnarchist]

take a break, no rebuttal again..

 

[Dsylexic]

more scumbaggery

 

[dfalken]

Ron wanted to speak and of course another break. He said they'll come back on this point but I am sure they'll ask Huntsman or Frothy.

 

[sevin]

Went to break before Ron could get a rebuttal. He looked pretty annoyed about, too.

 

[jax]

Lol they cut off before ron could respond again. Ron looked like he lnows what's going on
