I like Jon Huntsman for the Repulican Presidential bid.

I like Jon Huntsman, and here’s why.

Before 2006, I had no idea who he was. Then I moved to Utah. When he “fixed” health care, so more Utahn’s had access to health care, I took notice. Then, he loosen Utah’s strict and goofy liquor laws, telling the world that Utah was out of step with the rest of the world.

Now, I’m one of those more centrist Republicans. I firmly believe in capitalism, having been a small business owner for nearly 20 years. I also served as an officer in the USMC during the Viet Nam era. While I was never “in country”, a lot of my world view was shaped by those experiences (military service and business ownership).

I’ve watched nearly every debate, and have listened to CNN hours on end, and get excited when Gov. Huntsman gets a little free press. His ideas, and goals just make so much sense.

In this blog, I plan to take Gov. Huntsman’s 69 point plan apart and explore each one. I have no idea if I agree with each one, or if there are things that I believe could be done better (from my point of view).

As a 66-year-old, single woman who is living on a very restricted SS income, I depend upon Medicare and Medicaid, so my ears always per up when candidates discuss those issues. My military background has my antennae up when they talk defense issues. My sharp eyes pay attention to business and debt issues like spending and paying down the debt. The woman in me makes me pay attention to health issues and social issues.

Ok, there’s lots to do and little time… Join me as we explore Jon Huntsman’s bid for the Republican Presidential effort.
