Governor Huntsman tells it like it is

While I have never voted for Governor Huntsman, I have to give the Governor points for honesty.  In at least one recent interview he calls the GOP out for failing to come to the table with any ideas and dismisses the notion of not taking stimulus money, something some fellow Republican governors have suggested doing. 

The Governor also referred to Republican leaders in Congress as "inconsequential" and indicated he didn't even bother talking with them for that reason.  In addition, the Governor told the Washington Times "Our moral soapbox was completely taken away from us because of our behavior in the last few years.  For us to now criticize analogous behavior is hypocrisy. We've got to come at it a different way. We've got to prove the point. It can't be as the Chinese would say, 'fei hua,' [or] empty words."

Well said Governor.  Can't say as I will ever vote for you, but I have to say you hit the nail on the head when it comes to the GOP's ridiculous criticisms of the recovery package.
