any position once they are defeated. This is what is wrong with politics. Situational ethics. It's not as if there were not Democrats who would have made great Ambassadors to China or anywhere else.

The people spoke in 2008 and threw Republicans out. Huntsman's views re Medicare should have him unfit for any appointment by a Democrat not to mention his other views.

This is what is wrong with politics.

My comment is simply stating facts. No Republican should be appointed by a Democratic administration. We have enough great Democrats to fill all roles, which is why we elect Democrats and not Republicans.

Your comment seems to be excusing the appointment of Republicans after we defeat them. I disagree with that.
