GOP Presidential Primary: Ticket to Where … Huntsman Drops Out … Gives His 3.5% to Romney in Endorsement

It is being reported that John Huntsman will drop out of the Republican Presidential primary today.One might ask if he was ever actually in the GOP primary. After doing nothing but campaigning and putting all his political primary eggs in one basket in New Hampshire, his home state where he lives, Huntsman finished a disappointing third place. Ticket to ride, hardly …

If New Hampshire is Paradise … Huntsman has two tickets back there

Jon Huntsman will drop out of the Republican presidential race  on Monday, a campaign spokesman told ABC News.

A source close to the Huntsman campaign said the former ambassador to China and Utah governor was “proud of the race that he ran” but “did not want to stand in the way” of rival Mitt Romney, the current front-runner for the Republican nomination.

Huntsman plans to endorse Romney at an 11 a.m. press conference Monday in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Huntsman’s “third place is a ticket to ride in, ladies and gentleman! Hello, South Carolina!” … has turned into a return to sender ticket back home. But wait, Huntsman endorses and gives  Romney his 3.5%.  Did Huntsman really have any choice but to drop out? As pointed out at Michelle Malkin, his poll numbers are so bad in South Carolina and Florida, did Huntsman really have any other choice?

UPDATE I One has to wonder why Huntsman even bothered to run. Obama mouth piece Axelrod said, Huntsman dropped because he wouldn’t sell his soul. Spoken from a man who fronts Barack Obama who would know everything their is to selling one’s soul and say anything to get elected. You might want to focua on Obama and stop the hypocrisy. Many on the LEFT are saying the same about The one.

Next up, Rick Perry needs to say adios and head back to Texas.

Jon Huntsman’s withdrawal offers an opportunity for Democrats to make a play for the sliver of moderate Republicans to whom he appealed — and also to make a broader point that the Republican Party is being pulled to the right, not to the left, by its most powerful forces.

“He was simply unwillingly to make the Faustian bargains with the Right that Romney has so willingly made,” said David Axelrod, who is shaping Obama’s re-election campaign.

Martin Luther King Jr … MLK Day 2012 … The Dream Continues

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day let us all reflect on the fact that  we have come a long way; however, we have a ways still to go.  MLK Jr’s message goes out to all people, not just to blacks or to whites, all. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, do not let others interpret that dream for you. Listen to it and figure it out for yourself. It is never about the color of one’s skin, it is always about the content of one’s character. Always!

August 28, 1963: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Full text of MLK Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech can be read here.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

New York Gallery Displays Stench Filled T-Shirts from #Occupy Protests … And Call it Art (Occupy Dis-scent)

Art is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder, not their nostrils … What’s that smell? Oh, it’s the Occupy protesters.

What a joke, a New York gallery is displaying 99 stench riddled, unwashed t-shirts from the Occupy protest movement from Zuccotti Park and calling it art. Good grief. Who knew that this so-called art would be  scratch & sniff? Talk about a movement in search of a message. Stink is its essence. NICE! Call it Occupy “Dis-scent”.

It’s political dis-scent: An olfactory artist has transported the stench of Occupy Wall Street from Zuccotti Park to a Staten Island art gallery.

“The Smell of a Critical Moment,” which opened yesterday at Doorways on Van Duzer Street, features 99 T-shirts that protesters wore for a week straight, without washing them.

Artist Gayil Nalls distributed new white tees to OWSers and on Jan. 12 collected the body-odor-drenched shirts to capture the revolution’s essence.

The essence of the Occupy protests was its smells? Funny, most people consider the fact that these dirt bags needed a shower and a bar a soap to be a joke, not its essence. The lack of sanitary conditions is what lead to many of these encampments to be closed … these fools want to celebrate it as art. UNREAL.
