The Great Will (TGW) never tires of promoting rich Republican men as the bearers of the mantle of civic republican virtue, as replacements for the corrupt ‘Socialist’ Barack Obama and the clear and present danger of the ‘entitlement state’, as stated with his usual intellectually bloated hyperbole. Mr. John Huntsman meets all of the standards that TGW constantly reiterates: a rich, white , reactionary, anxious to turn back the rising tide of socialism. TGW is acting as the ‘unofficial’ campaign manager for the Republican Party i.e. The Sclerotic Old White Guy Party. Does all this sound like a dull, tired campaign press release endlessly re-purposed? Even with the usual heavy intellectual garnish. There is only one rather troubling matter, a stumbling block, and that is that Mr. Huntsman is a Mormon and the Christian Conservatives take a dim view of this ‘sect’ or ‘cult’ as illegitimate, TGW fails to even mention this in his long encomium to his latest political romance. Or is the Party so desperate to make an impact, to save America from The Socialist Menace in 2012, that it can stifle its own prejudices in a wager to win?
