Huntsman's Civil Unions View Too Outre For Some MI GOPers

Upon learning that Gov. Jon Huntsman, Jr. (R-UT) support civil unions for gays, the chair of the Kent County, Michigan Republican Party canceled a fundraising dinner he was to host, citing the incompatibility of Huntsman views with the collective views expressed by folks who participated in the April 15 Tea Party.

Democrats have an anti-choice Senate Majority Leader but the Republicans can't tolerate this from the governor of the most conservative state in the country? Welcome to The Incredible Shrinking Big Tent.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Huntsman's one of the few bright spots in the GOP's current roster, and the Republicans are shutting him out? They're dooming their own party to minority status for a long time to come.
