My daughter is sitting in a room with Jon Huntsman right now.

[lady lib]

She wants to know what question she should ask him. Ideas?

[rightsideout]

1. Wasn't Huntsman a US Ambassador?

He would be the one to ask about any foreign policy type issues.

[rightsideout]

6. He was US Ambassasor to China, now that I recall

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Will he vote for Romney or Obama?

[MADem]

17. And will he run again in four years?

He probably wants Obama to win, and Money Boo Boo to lose...because he wants to be the first Mormon president.

He's RICH. Rich, rich, rich. Rich as ten Roosevelts! His campaign this time around was just a toe in the water. His father could have spent a fortune on his "uncoordinated" PAC, but this foray was a "getting to know you" test tour, I think.

3. Wouldn't it be better for Romney to lose so Republicans can bring sanity back to their party?

[markpkessinger]

10. If the 2008 loss didn't cause a restoration of sanity to the GOP...

. . . what makes you thin a 2012 loss will?

[quinnox]

4. Will he run for president again in 2016?

[Condem]

5. In your heart of hearts, Mr. Huntsman...

who is going to win this election?

[Democratopia]

7. Can he give an honest opinion of the ever changing positions of Mitt Romney?

For example, he was going to give a tax cut for the wealthy - that was his policy, then in the first debate he said that wasn't his policy, so he wouldn't have to explain how the tax cuts would be paid for, then the next day he was back to saying he would give the rich tax cuts.

[Motown_Johnny]

8. If elected, would Mr. Romney be sworn in on The Bible or The Book Of Mormon?

[markpkessinger]

11. The Bible thing is just a tradition . . .

. . . It is not a requirement of taking the oath. So I don't really see that as making much of a difference one way or the other.

[Auntie Bush]

13. I'd like to know too

[onenote]

15. Why?

[Auntie Bush]

33. Just curious...aren't you?

[FreeState]

30. The Bible - Mormons believe in it and read it n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

31. Not all of it, they think the Garden of Eden was in the US. They think Jesus

came to America.

Worst of all (form a believer's point of view) they don't believe in the Holy Trinity.

It is a non-Creedal faith

Nevertheless, the LDS Church differs from the many other churches within contemporary Christianity, and many people do not accept the LDS Church as part of Christianity.[80] The faith itself views other modern Christian faiths as having departed from true Christianity[81] via a general apostasy and that it is a restoration of 1st century Christianity and the only true and authorized Christian church.[82] Differences between the LDS Church and most of traditional Christianity include disagreement with aspects of the Nicene Creed, belief in a unique theory of human salvation that includes three heavens (referred to as "degrees of glory&quot ,[83] a doctrine of "exaltation" which includes the ability of humans to become gods and goddesses in the afterlife,[84] a dietary code called the Word of Wisdom, and unique sacramental ceremonies performed privately in LDS temples, such as the endowment and sealing ceremonies.

Officially, major Christian denominations view the LDS Church as standing apart from creedal Christianity,[85] a point the LDS Church itself does not dispute.[86]

From the perspective of Christians who agree with creeds, the most significant area of departure is the rejection by the LDS Church of certain parts of ecumenical creeds such as the Nicene Creed, which defines the predominant view of the Christian God as a Trinity of three separate persons in "one essence". LDS Church theology includes the belief in a "Godhead" composed of God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost as three separate Persons who share a unity of purpose or will; however, they are viewed as three distinct Beings making one Godhead. Other significant differences relate to the church's acceptance of additional scripture, doctrine, and practices beyond what is found in the Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox versions of the Bible.

9. Ask him, Who is your daughter Abby voting for?

[Auntie Bush]

16. Good question. Shw sounded like a Dem in one of her interviews and made me wonder.

Had nothing positive to say about Romney.

[XemaSab]

12. What's the environmental trajectory of China?

At some point are they likely to make a serious effort to clean up, or do you think that's unlikely in the near future?

[malaise]

14. What is WilIARd Rmoney's worst character flaw? n/t

[Auntie Bush]

18. I don't have time to answer that question as it would take all night!

[Inspired]

19. She should ask him when he is going to wake up and join the Democratic Party.

[TlalocW]

20. Have her ask

Just who the HELL do you think you are?

With much emphasis on HELL. No reason.

TlalocW

[lady lib]

21. Okay, I've passed along all of your questions.

If she does get up her nerve to ask him any of them, I will be sure to let you all know. Thanks for the help! <hugs>

[NV Whino]

22. Why did the GOP back Romney rather that Huntsman?

[PD Turk]

23. Can he get us Willard's tax returns? nt

[grantcart]

24. What does Ambassador Huntsman think about Romney's use of the LDS church

as loophole to defer his tax liability and significantly avoid a large amount of his tax obligation.

Do you think that the LDS Church should be used in this way?

[progressivebydesign]

25. Ask him why he's not a Democrat. He seems to be fairly reasonable and normal. nt

[lady lib]

26. Her event is over. She raised her hand, but there were so many

people asking questions that she didn't get a chance to ask hers. She was going to ask him why he decided to run as a Republican (because he's mentioned in the past about possibly running as a third party candidate). She said questions about China got really thoughtful responses - makes sense, given all his recent experience over there. She also said his speech was good and "He just sounds so reasonable."

Anyway, good night all and thanks again!

[Samantha]

27. HUNTSMAN IS PRO CLIMATE CHANGE -- in light of Sandy, how does he feel about FEMA

and the Federal Government's role in responding to states during times of emergency; does he regret that many Republicans deny that climate change exists.

Just my thoughts.

Sam

[lady lib]

28. Yeah, that would have been a good one, but nobody asked him about climate change. nt

[Nye Bevan]

29. "How frustrating is it that any sane, rational, decent Republican Presidential candidate will be

eliminated very early on by the batshit crazy Republican primary voters"? would have been my question.

[Arugula Latte]

32. Why did you miss the train to Crazytown that your party cohorts jumped on?
