Huntsman, Go To Hell

Hello, Jon. Pssst the race is over here. Remember you're running for the Republican nomination for President of the United States not for the ambassador to Massachusetts. That means being the President of all the people not a costal minority. It's remarkable that you are more critical of members of your own party than you are of Barack Obama. While you were in China we had an election and fired oodles and gobs of Democrats. Just counting Senators, Congressmen, and state legislators that number is nearly 800. We are tickled pink to hear you have opinions on evolution and global warming consistent with John Kerry's but the emphasis this election is on government and its role in common society. The growing consensus is that it is too large and too overbearing.

It is all we'll and good that as a teen you exhibited a brattish petulance as many of the spoiled and over privileged class did but it's time to grow up now. Children of more modest means would not have recovered from dropping out of high school to start a rock band. It would have been a fatal error and it may have meant a lifetime of unemployment checks and food stamps but thanks to a family fortune nothing bad happened to you.

So now let's look at that family fortune that sustains your life style and stokes your ego. Huntsman Chemical has moved most of its operations overseas because it can not meet the stringent environmental rules dictated by an EPA that you seem to venerate. But Jon, if that damage is so great the rise of the oceans will not begin to slow and the planet will not begin to heal just because the damage is not visible to the voters in this country. Yet that same Huntsman Chemical Company can provide you a lifetime of privilege while you rant about the low IQ of your fellow Republicans. Jon, GO TO HELL.
