Jon Huntsman addresses the Faith and Freedom Coalition June 3, 2011 X390 (

Jon Huntsman speaking at the Faith and Freedom Conference in June.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., whose pro-civil unions stance has drawn
the support of some gay conservatives, announced his bid for the GOP
presidential ticket Tuesday during a press conference in New Jersey.
Huntsman, President Obama’s former U.S. ambassador to China, has hired gay
political consultant and California Log Cabin Republicans vice-chair Charles
T. Moran to work on the campaign, Politico reports. Though he does not
support full marriage rights, Huntsman’s civil unions position contrasts
with many current candidates in the GOP field — five of whom in a recent
CNN debate said that they supported a constitutional amendment barring gay
marriage.
"For the first time in our history, we are passing down to the next
generation a country that is less powerful, less compassionate, less
competitive and less confident than the one we got," Huntsman said Tuesday
in announcing his run.
Huntsman has recently burnished his social conservative credentials on other
social issues, namely abortion. "I do not believe the Republican Party
should focus only on our economic life to the neglect of our human life,”
he said at the Faith and Freedom Conference earlier this month in Washington
, D.C.
Log Cabin Republicans executive director R. Clarke Cooper said Huntsman’s
bid “expands the pool of qualified candidates for Republican primary voters
. Huntsman's experience in the private and public sectors are necessary
elements to defeat Barrack Obama in 2012," Cooper said, though his
organization has not endorsed a GOP candidate. | D**S

China. For LGBT community, what is his stance? Can someone offer some hint?
Is this guy very homophobic?
It is an irony that GOP now has two Mormons running for President. Are
Republicans open-minded enough this time to put aside religious bias and
only choose the strongest to represent themselves? At least up till now,
Romney still seems to be the most eligible candidate among all GOP president
-hopefuls. And now Huntsman emerges officially, almost like a carbon copy to
Romney. Interesting. | m******1
发帖数: 19713 | 3 他支持CU很多年了，但是不支持GM，我觉得这对于一个共和党来说已经算比较温和的了
。他的宗教信仰肯定是个大问题，我有亲共和党的同事就告诉我，即便他们知道ROMNEY
好，他们也不会选ROMNEY的，就是因为ROMNEY信摩门。你知道，右派把宗教看得很重的。

northeast, are open-minded enough to select a Mornon as their presidential
candidate. Nationwide, Republicans lost their collective cool and political
savvy this time.
ROMNEY
的。
