Jayel Aheram: The Turncoat, or why I dislike Huntsman

aheram:

That Huntsman can set aside partisanship and work with a president from an opposing party, that is admirable. However, Huntsman served ambassador under the Obama administration, only to then run against the very same man who trusted him with that prestigious appointment. After which, Huntsman’s campaign spent considerable effort attacking Romney’s policies only to then completely backtrack and endorse that very same rival. All of this taken together is a picture of a man not bound by any sense of loyalty.

Huntsman has shown himself to be a turncoat: to his party, to his president, and to his own campaign. That is despicable and his actions are indications of a great deficit in character and integrity.

What the fuck. There is nothing right about this. Espousing blind loyalty and mindless consistency as a virtue, discounting Huntsman’s progressive politics in favor of personally attacking him (with a mind-blowingly stupid critique), accusing Huntsman of lacking integrity while bringing up irrelevant personal biases in a faux-political post— I can’t even.
