Huck Goes for Broke: Amend the Constitution with God's Law

[denem]

WARREN, Mich. -- Huckabee's closing argument to voters here this evening featured a few new stories and two prolonged sections on illegal immigration and Christian values.

These two topics usually feature prominently in Huckabee's stump speech, but last night he got specific, promising to build a border fence within 18 months if elected and elaborating on his belief that the constitution needs to be amended.

"{Some of my opponents} do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards," Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

Huckabee often refers to the need to amend the constitution on these grounds, but he has never so specifically called for the Constitution to be brought within "God's standards," which are themselves debated amongst religious scholars.

McCain/Huckabee. What a ticket.

[floridablue]

1. Tune in tomorrow !

See Huck come down the mountain with his arms full of stone tablets.

[denem]

3. Smoting!

[tekisui]

2. It should be against the law for a Presidential Candidate to talk that shit.

What a fuggin' lunatic.

[H2O Man]

5. It should result

in the vast majority of Americans rejecting him as a candidate.

[denem]

7. A good proportion of Evangelicals would agree with him.

What proportion of Americans don't believe in evolution?

[MGKrebs]

13. Hopefully, enough of them feel that "faith" doesn't need to be imposed

by the executive branch of the government. That would no longer be "faith".

[TwilightGardener]

4. I keep revising my stats on when Huckafuck jumped the shark--it was officially

with this statement. Unless he comes out with a better one anytime soon.

[denem]

6. I am Jesus Christ should do it

:evilgrin:

[TwilightGardener]

9. I would truly enjoy that.

[Fovea]

8. Rebuilding the Corporatist / Theocon bund.

It is probably inevitable.
The wide stance party is going to bankrupt itself to win.
If we can stop this pairing, we go a long way to beating down the evil empire of greed and hate.

[hatrack]

10. FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

That is all.

[TomClash]

11. McCain-Huckabee

Nuke 'em and Spook 'em.

[calimary]

16. Oooh, that's a good one, TomClash! "Nuke 'em and Spook 'em."

Well done!!! If, God FORBID, this is the ticket we wind up facing, we now have a slogan!

:thumbsup:

Nukes and Kooks!

[TomClash]

19. Good one! nt

[Historic NY]

12. Oh boy Evangelical Sharia law.................

:think: Isn't that what the Muslims want over democracy.

[NashVegas]

14. Aw, Damn

Why couldn't he have waited until he had the nomination locked up?

[Sulawesi]

15. Ha! Get some popcorn and watch him fizzle!

[totodeinhere]

17. I hope we get Huck in the general

It would be a historic landslide in our favor IMO.

[RoadRage]

18. Even smart Repugs should puke after reading this...

Only the blind, nimble bible-thumpers will fall for this.

Ehh.. nevermind - that is now currently 92% of their base. This guy is going to win the nomination by a landslide.

Tune in next week when Huck announces: "When elected, I plan to make going to church on Sunday's a national law punishable by 6 months in prison. Additionally all gays will be rounded up and put into concentration camps for their evilness"

All Hail Huck.
Friggin PSYCHO!

[Marrah_G]

21. Not Concentration camps- "re-education camps"

Where they can be taught to pray the gay away ( or die trying) But do not worry, I will be right there beside them on the "satan-worshipping pagan baby-sacrificers" side of the fence.

Huckabee is a scary puppy

[dbackjon]

22. With Donnie McClurkin emceeing the re-education

[Fovea]

20. Representing the traditional Repub trifecta

God, Guns, and Gays.

Currently frameds as The War Against Terror, The war for cheap oil, and the holy war against our savage gay Muslim allies' libruls.
