Will Mike Huckabee Martyr Himself On Behalf Of Kim Davis on Monday?

Will this grifting, flim-flammer use whatever means of resetting his flailing campaign by pulling out his trusty ' persecuted Christian martyr-maneuver ' showing Christians he's willing & ready to step in front of Kim Davis and take a bullet for Team Christians?

Q: WILL HE YELL OUT 'I WILL GO TO JAIL IN PLACE OF KIM'?

Place your bets!

Lots of sizzle but no steak.

If that Patriot Militia bunch shows up to protect Lil' Kimmie, will Big Mike be standing with Kimmie and the boys or will he be in front of a TV camera spewing bullshit?

refusing to wash the police cars while you were in jail meant working with the sanitation crew emptying trash cans on the beach. Of course Huckabee would gladly wash the cars.

have got to be flabbergasted to see how much fundie support is going to Trump. They're all desperate to grab it back.

Kim Davis is seen as a golden opportunity for the most outrageous of them to corral the snake-handler vote. Hucksterbee will do whatever he can to avoid going down in flames like Rick Perry.

Someone should organize a 'flash mob' dance where people spontaneously break out into a choreographed dance.

Just before they break into the dance, they remove their top jackets only to reveal bright orange jump suits underneath with HUCKABEE stamped on the back.

Now that visual would go viral worldwide and Huckabee's already shaky campaign would be sucking in life support fumes from thereafter.......IMO!

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]The purpose of putting Kim Davis in jail is to get her to comply with the court order.

If Hucksterbee was put in jail in her place, how would that in anyway coerce her to comply? It wouldn't. So there is no way that the judge would go for that.

Not to mention, that our legal system does not allow for that. Imagine if someone offered to go to jail on behalf of a serial killer? Do you think anyone anywhere is going to accept that? It defeats the entire purpose of the legal system.

Just think about all the different rationales for our legal system and how it would play into them. It would not allow for rehabilitation, it totally defeats the idea of deterrence, it actually prevents the justice system from protecting society from criminals, and retribution would be applied to the wrong person.



The only place I know where offering oneself up for punishment in place of the guilty person is thought of as being just and condoned is in religion...which says alot about that religion imho


THAT said, if he wants to serve along side her he is more than welcome imho! [/font]
