  • I can't beleive the fruit cakes you guts got running for president

  • Huckabee is a horrible person, but so are Obama, Cain,and Boehner.

  • Clasic Huckabee. I'm sure he went on the morning shows and explained that away somehow so that people would buy it.

    Nobody is as much of a double talking, flip-flopping phony as Huckabee is.

    He gets away with it because of his charm. He's a great liar because he makes people want to believe him.

  • What's even more scary than Mike Huckabee's plan is the fact that there are a lot of Jesus worshiping nutcases in America who agree with and will vote for him.

  • Well actually I would not mind changing the constitution to God's standards, since his standards are the highest standards :)

  • @RockyBalboa211 which god?

  • @RockyBalboa211 HAHAHAHAHA, good one buddy.

  • thats scary, for real. i dont trust any politician who claims to be a christian

  • nobody knows what gods standards are, because no one has ever meet god

  • Thank you. Are we supposed to base our laws on some book a bunch of retards wrote 2,000 years ago? Sounds good to me. The Bible gives pointers on how to treat your slave. I've always wanted to own slaves.  Now, looks like Mike Huckabee is going to make it happen!!! Yay stupidity and ignorance!!!

  • @olivemike81 a bunch of retards?you dont have enough information to even have a claim towards the bible,none of us do

  • @olivemike81 a bunch of retards?you dont have enough information to even have a claim towards the bible,none of us do

  • @AceofDimonds0: Jesus was God! :D

  • @RockyBalboa211

    i guess that kind of makes up for god sending jesus to be sacrificed, for something that god could have done without someone dieing for the cause.

  • A Huckabee/Palin ticket of GOP theocrats in 2012 would be the greatest thing Obama could imagine.

  • Mike Huckabee is an idiot.

  • "Pray" Mike? Can I subsitute "jerk off"?

  • This has got to be the stupidest thing a politician has ever said.

  • Lets put the Ten Commandments in the Consitution and start killing people who work on that sabbath and stone people for commiting adultry :)

  • i will not accept the bible

  • This is what Nazi Fascism looks like. When Mike Huckabee says he wants to change the constitution to be in "God's standards" we should not take that lightly. This man could be the GOP nominee in 2012 and if Obama fucks up he could be President. We should be afraid, VERY afraid.

    If you're gay, Jewish, atheist, Muslim, or not one of Mike Huckabee's Evangelical terrorists you should be shitting your pants rights about..... NOW!

  • I agree that Christianity, or any religion for that matter, should be separated from Politics. There is a difference between morally governing and governing morality.

  • what idiots they couldnt even critisize huckabee properly.

  • LOL

    HUCKABEE WAS AN ASSHOLE. When he started talking that: change the constitution bullshit, I KNEW HE WAS FUCKED.

  • why are they so scared to say anything about Huckabee's remarks?

  • Because he speaks the Truth.

  • I was thinking more along the lines of they like him and don't want to call him insane on national television.

  • "Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we're mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

    -- Ronald Reagan

  • "What influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments had on civil society? In many instances they have been upholding the thrones of political tyranny. In no instance have they been seen as the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty have found in the clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate liberty, does not need the clergy."

    -- James Madison

  • During the first meeting of the Continental Congress in September 1774 George Washington prayed alongside the other delegates & they recited Psalm 35 together.

    The Founding Fathers

    3 Catholics

    28 Episcopalian

    8 Presbyterians

    7 Congregationalists

    2 Lutherans

    2 Dutch Reformed

    2 Methodist

    Several of the Founding Fathers considered themselves to be Deists

  • James Madison was an Episcopal. And he did write an essay against the appointment of chaplains for Congress & the armed forces on the grounds that this produced religious exclusion but not political harmony.

    That may have been his opinion, however, it was not the will of the people and it is Constitional for Congress & the Senate and the armed forces to have a chaplains and pray.

  • 1st Ammendment

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

    or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

    or Abridging The Freedom of Speech

    or of the press

    or the right of the people peaceably to assemble

    and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

  • In the Capitol's Chapel is a stained glass window depicting George Washington in prayer under the inscription "In God We Trust." Also, a prayer is inscribed in the window which says, "Preserve me, God, for in Thee do I put my trust"

    "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and the interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."

    John Jay- First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 1777

  • Ok what exactly are you arguing for? Mike Huckabee's stated position on changing the constitution to align with the bible, religion and its role in our government, god and its role in our government, or something else? I was under the impression we were discussing Mike Huckabee's position, but then you came in with Ronald Reagan's god quote so.. anyway you just let me know.. ok.

    Lets just agree we can both find quotes of lots of famous and important political leaders that support our position.

  • My reason for quoting reagan is because Mika & Joe seem so surprised that a Presidential candidate can say something so crazy about the constitution & God's standards in the same breath!

    The very first congressional meeting in this country began with a prayer session that lasted for 4 hours!

    Mika & Joe need to do some research on American history and the faith of this nation's Founding Fathers and the Presidents that followed.

  • My point is that it is insanely arrogant to assume everyone agrees that the bible is the word of god and therefore we should change our government to conform to god's word. All this talk and implication that the country was founded as a Christian nation and the founding fathers would have wanted us to be as Christian as possible kinda doesn't make sense if now we have to change what the Constituion says. Oh and this is NOT a Christian nation it is a nation made up predominantly of Christians.

  • Hi Dawg,

    I think what Huckabee mispoke & rambled on & what he was trying to say is that it would be easier to change the constitution

    than to change the Word of God

    "rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other & family"

    ie. Marriage

    My point is like it or not that the Constitution is already based on Christian principles

    The Founding Father's believed in freedom of expression & differing religious beliefs

  • The capitol's chapel is bullshit, and John Jay was a federalist douche.

    "That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical; that our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions, any more than our opinions in physics or geometry..."

    -Thomas Jefferson

    The whole quote is massive, but you can guess what it says...

  • Look up , EXCEPTIONS TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

  • Huckabee is a drooling maniac. Very scary individual.

  • I prefer teh contemporary view than the view of some ancient desert tribal book.

  • At first I was quite shocked and disturbed to find myself agreeing with Scarborough. He somewhat quelled my discomfort towards the end when he said he liked Huckabee and that "SOME people might be a little uncomfortable with that".

  • Huckabee is a freakin lunatic. Believing he should amend his countries laws beyond recognition because of a freaking BOOK which has NO PROOF of even being true in the first place.

    If he became president or whatever he'd kill america. And since the states affects pretty much the rest of the world, whether economically, socially or both, they'd kill us too.

  • god does not exist the Constitution is fine the way it is granting freedoms christains want to take away because of an imaginary sky daddy.

  • Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September

    "in the Year of our Lord"

  • ohhhh shaddap.

  • I believe that my comments are protected under the 1st Ammendment

    Have a blessed day!

  • Yes, schmarcie, and we aren't Congress or any legal authority so it's within our right to tell you to shaddap.

  • califoniania,

    May your day be blessed as well.

    :D

    Peace Out,

    marcie

  • Wow. Yes, the founders were deists or christian -- although their scientific knowledge was limited and one can reasonably conclude they would be atheists now. Whatever the case, God is not in the constitution for a very specific reason. The founders knew it. If you don't know it by now, there's nothing to be said.

  • Isn't that unconstitutional? lol

  • its sad to see the united states this brainwashed, this opressed, this scared, this fooled. and whats even more sad, is that there are people who will vote this mad man in,will they amend the iraqui constitution according to the christian bible as well?

  • Absolutely ridiculous. I mean, can you just imagine?

  • The First Amendment to the Constitution was written to protect this Country from people who wanted to change the law to respect 'Gods law'.

  • Who knows what God Thinks?

  • It's easy to know what God thinks - nothing. On account of the fact that it doesn't exist.

  • ..."some contemporary view of how we treat each other..." Ugh.

  • Mr. Huckabee has to comprehend that there was specific reasoning behind the founders not including religion, morality, and virtue in the Constitution. When you make a government based upon religion, you get the middle east. When you make a government permitting people to worship freely and operating with secularism, you have freedom.

  • ...so?

  • good god i hate that

  • I'm a christian; but thats just retarded.

  • hey Godapes--your savior has lost VA. maybe Chuck will help Hick kick his way to the white house. i'm sure taking it by force would be ok with the christians.

  • You can't defend that no matter how you put it, he said what he said, he wants to change the constitution! Be afraid be very afraid!

    vote Ron Paul!

  • Strange world this Huckabee lives in!! Glad I'm not in his little boxsd in world!

  • Its funny how some evangelicals accuse Mormons or trying to set up a theocracy, which is purely false. Yet now we see who really would like to set up a theocracy.

    I do not see where the US constitution is against gods law as it is now written. We may read it incorrectly just as some would read scripture wrong. but it is pretty good for what it is. a plan for government.

  • Huckabee, you cannot be a bigot against someone based on a choice, it is a disagreement, nothing more.

    He is a moron, do not vote for him!

    I can't believe this idiot has supporters!

    He wants to amend the constitution to make the US a theocracy... not only is it against intelligence, it would be harmful for any church that did not agree with the state religion.

    He is nothing but an idiot with an agenda.

    Mr. Jefferson build up that WALL!

  • It's actually easier to change the word of god than it is to change the Constitution. People do it all the time. Why should Huckabee do any differently?

  • Well said. Theologists (If it can be called a science) often act as God's personal interpreter, saying whatever they want. I hope the U.S. can stay out of that nastiness. Dictating anyone with religion is terrifying. All my religious relatives scare me (Fundies) because they're so controlling.

  • Let me remind you too:

    Art. 11. "...the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

    -- The Treaty of Tripoli (the Treaty of Peace and Friendship) 1796

    Washington's religious belief was that of the enlightenment: deism. He practically never used the word "God," preferring the more impersonal word "Providence."

    Washington endorsed what Jefferson would later define as a "wall of separation between church and state. Uneducated Evangelical.

  • In the Capitol's Chapel is a stained glass window depicting George Washington in prayer under the inscription "In God We Trust." Also, a prayer is inscribed in the window which says, "Preserve me, God, for in Thee do I put my trust"

    During the first meeting of the Continental Congress in September 1774, George Washington prayed alongside the other delegates. And they recited Psalm 35 together as patriots.

  • "Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity." -- Jefferson

  • "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and the interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."

    John Jay- First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 1777

  • "As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,... it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries" -- Treaty of Tripoli: passed by congress and signed by President John Adams, 1797

  • Which is why the 1st amendment exists, and why the Constitution clearly states "...no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.", and why the 1st amendment prohibits an establishment of religion - because you could never get those 52 people to agree on anything pertaining to religion - least of all the Deists. The idea being, religion is a personal matter and the government stays out of it - washes it's hands, so to speak.

  • Thomas Jefferson attended church services every Sunday in the House Chamber. Other services were held in the Supreme Court during his administration.

    Jefferson, as the first president of the D.C. school board said this:

    "I have always said, always will say, that the studious perusal of the sacred volume [Bible] will make us better citizens."

  • Proof?

    After Googling this quote, only your post as turned up to have said it. Nothing else.

  • Let me remind Huckabee of this:

    Art. 11. "...the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

    -- The Treaty of Tripoli (the Treaty of Peace and Friendship) 1796

  • Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity religion & morality are indispensable supports In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness these firmest props of the duties of men & citizens reason & experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles

    George Washington

  • "Religions are all alike, founded on fables and myths" - Thomas Jefferson

  • "God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever."

    --Thomas Jefferson

  • When Jefferson talked about God, he did so as a deist (to whatever degree), but certainly didn't embrace Christianity. In fact, he rewrote the New Testament removing all the miracles and mysticism surrounding Jesus (see Jefferson Bible).

    "History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes." - Jefferson

  • There is a Constitutional process to amend the U S Constitution.

  • jlburnitt, I really hope you are being sarcastic. This is one giant leap BACK for mankind.

  • So christians are finally starting to admit the U.S. Constution is not god's/christian laws.

    Wahoo!

    One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

  • wow. so now god is running the US? guess what, fuck--this isnt a country of 100% Christians or catholics. run the country, dont try and turn it into a giant church.

  • So we should amend the Constitution to contradict itself and eliminate possibly one of the most essential bits of law in history? Sign me up!

  • Fuck Mike Huckabee

  • Ok.. Who's going to decide what part of the bible we adopt into the constitution? Huckabee? The republican Party? The general Public? Do we bring slavery back? Kill gays?

    Stone unruly children? Where will it stop?

  • Exactly! Imparting religious ideals upon those that do not subscribe to such vile hatred and intolerance is illegal and will be met with swift and complete resistance. The media is owned and run by 6 people and they all have the same objectives that are not in the best interest of the American people. Propaganda for Profit.

  • i hope he doesen't go any further that he has gotten!

  • Who? Huckabee or Norris?! ;^)

  • the founding fathers who lived hundreds of years ago were more enlightened than the current slate of Republican candidates. what's wrong with Republicans today?

  • this shit is absolutely frightening

  • PRO WAR JESUS IDEALIST.

  • I believe it is very important 2 have a Christian pres who believes in Jesu. w/o a doubt He is the ONLY way to Heaven.the Bible is the one true book of Life. if u dont believe it, u don't have faith. but only time will tell wen ppl realize their purpose on this earth. that purpose is 2 serve Him. so y not change our Constitution 2 surround OUR Creator?? our God is a loving God, but he is also Just.if you deny Him now, He will deny you at Judgement Day

  • lmao idiot

  • He is a loving God? But will send perfectly sensible and good moral people to hell for simple not accepting him as god and not worshiping him...sounds like your god is a pompous asshole to me....

  • Anyone can misinterpret the Bible/Koran to support hate &superiority. Terrorists believe that hating you serves Allah like you believe hating gays serves God. It isn't what God you worship; it's how you treat your fellow man. There are many types of faith. But only one type of hate. You didn't pick a Christian church, your parents just brought you there you hypocritical asshole. Go to church to worship, the government has more than one faith to cater to.

  • (Directed at APBsBaby's comment)

  • fascist

  • Now his campaign is in God´s hands LOL

  • In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection for his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them, and to effect this, they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine for their purpose.--Thomas Jefferson

  • wow.

    I so hope you republicans nominate this monster.

    Because he will lose SO HARD... it will be a bloodbath if he runs.

  • what the f*ck are these people talking about after huckabee says such a f*ck up phrase?

    Why the bible, not the Koran, etc. F*ck

  • I have an idea huckster Crusify your child to save America cause I don't buy it.

  • Yeah lets make an ammendment that says to stone disobedient children to death and that working on Sunday is deserving of death.

    Sure lets just rely on a book written thousands of years ago by mystics in the desert and forget everything we have learned since.

  • Rewriting the constitution so that it's in God's standards is an excellent idea, but I worry that most Americans differ on what those standards are and we shouldn't allow a public official, even a trained Baptist minister, to define God's standards for us. This kind of talk is divisive and bad for America. Besides, the real issues are the economy and our international affairs. Let the law makers handle the social issues, not the president or the courts (Roe v. Wade)

  • Charisma gets people to stop thinking without making them realize it. H.'s interview tricks rely on charisma. A commentator noted that H.'s recent statements sound pretty theocratic. Huckabee's response? 'Of course not, I'm just talking about right-to-life and marriage. We're not going to change the constitution to make tithing and Sunday School mandatory!' Funny guy. I guess that's one way to make marriage and abortion sound like minor issues. Don't buy into someone who won't deal in facts.

  • Well before you make a judment you must see this video "from minute 01:10 - 02:00"

    watch?v=prQ9wDjTn9Y

    In this video Mike Huckabee said "The statement doesn't mean rewrite the constitution NOT AT ALL... He also said that the statement was made in a context of human life amended and traditional marriage...(More details at the video)

  • When I thought we couldn't get any further into the twilight zone, I then heard the horseshit coming out of these hosts' mouths. How they can even support or advocate such a thing... This is INSANE !!!

  • when is this stuff going to end?

  • I am a non-denominational minister with a bachlors in theology and I think Huckabee is an Idiot. Please dont think that all christians are as unpatriotic as he is. Thanks. Go Fred T.

  • Fundamentalists like Huckabee who think the Bible is the "word of a living God" must think God is piss poor writer. Secondly, I don't believe this charlatan when he says he won't touch science education. He's already told everyone he denies the facts of biology. I think he'd want to "teach the controversy" in our schools. Just like the "controversy" between astronomers and astrologers....

  • He basicly wants to impose his religon on

    everybody else's.He had no respect for

    others culture and is out of touch

    with our times.

    huckabee fucked up big time.

  • He basicly wants to impose his religon on

    huckabee fucked up big time.

  • I dont believe in God. Therefore Huckabee is alienating me by making me conform to his gods beliefs. Remember FREEDOM OF RELIGION, YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT, ILL BELIEVE WHAT I WANT!!!!

  • *sigh*

  • What "God" is Huckabee talking about here? His god, my god, your god, allah, budah, the devil?

    Obviously it is his view of the biblical God, but why "his" view, why not my view of the biblical god, or yours? You see people, this is why there is a seperation of church and state and why our founding fathers had such a great idea when the started this nation. Keep god out of the white house, for gods sake!!!

  • Well before you make a judment you must see this video "from minute 01:10 - 02:00"

    In this video Mike Huckabee said "The statement doesn't mean rewrite the constitution NOT AT ALL... He also said that the statement was made in a context of human life amended and traditional marriage...(More details at the video)

  • Yea, that's called backtracking, which Huckabee is good at. Sorry perfumouni, but Huckabee just ruined his entire campaign with that statement. It's over buddy. And, if in the VERY RARE event, Huckabee does get the Republican nomination, he will be crushed by the Hildabeast in November. Republicans better start waking up and reassessing their choices. Choose wisely (i.e. an anti-war candidate).

  • wow... way to go genius

  • The US was not founded on Christianity.  It was founded on the enlightenment.

  • It would be funny if it wasn't so scary....

  • Read the constitution and adhere to it before you even think about changing it!

  • I hope that America realizes that Huckabee is a fucking psycho. If not, hello Canada, here I come.

  • uh-oh...huckabee's globalist colors are starting to come out...can anyone say

    "up-chuck!"

  • Actually, he is a pastor as well as a politician. *shivers*

  • was that a politician or a pastor ?

  • Hope he doesn't put a hole through the ceiling when the rapture comes.

  • America is become smaller than ever - for those who would abide by the word of the living god - who is that he is talking about?

    If he wins, he is going to upturn the Constitution and make America a church...what a scary thought...

  • Why is our media afraid to touch this? If anything at all spoken by any of the candidates was truely an awful idea this is it.

  • Huckabee should be tied up and sent to Guantanamo.

  • I believe that was his Howard Dean moment.

  • I'm glad Huckabee just gave Ron Paul some serious ammunition to use against him.

  • and they called Ron Paul crazy?????

  • "MAYBE A BREACH OF THE LINE BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE".. my patooteee!!! An absolute chasm would be more like it! When the founding fathers came over to North America, they had the understanding that the inclusion of religion with politics is what could be the most dangerous mix that there can be. Such a blend has ALWAYS brought about a major conflict that ends in physical violence. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS LOOK TO THE EAST!!!

    continued

  • Sounds like Mike Huckabee is after Ron Paul supporters.

  • Ron Paul is a Christian, but he wants to follow the Constitution, not change it to reflect only the views of Christians.

    Up until now, Huckabee was probably my second choice among the Republicans after Ron Paul.  However, after hearing this comment, he will not get my vote if it comes down to he and Obama/Clinton/Edwards.

  • We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.

    -Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Berlin on 24 Oct. 1933

  • Humm, sounds familiar.

  • No, it is not we that have deserted Christianity, it is those who came before us who deserted Christianity.

    So far as the Evangelical Confessions are concerned we are determined to put an end to existing divisions, which are concerned only with the forms of organization, and to create a single EVANGELCAL CHURCH for the whole nation....

    Adolf Hitler, in his Proclamation at the Parteitag at Nuremberg on 5 Sept. 1934

  • Lmao at Huckabee's first sentence. It is NOT easier to amend the Constitution! Why doesn't he present a few bills for amendments if he's elected and just see how hard it is himself? First, the bill actually has to pass committee. Then it has to be passed by a majority (or is it a supermajority?) of Congressmen. Then it goes to all 50 states, and only if 38 of those states ratify it does it become an amendment. This has happened only 27 (or is it 17?) times since the Bill of Rights.

  • This is the scariest thing I have heard in a long time. The founding fathers would be outraged by Huckabee's statement. I hope the media gives this issue at least 1/4 of the air time it gave the Britney fiasco.

  • lneria: No...I disagree. The founding fathers would be outraged @ how people have twisted views. Separation of Ch & state doesn't even mean what you think it does. They opened every meeting with a word of prayer & prayed in Jesus's name. Unfortunately, our founding fathers weren't God & did not have the ability to understand that everyone's morals, etc. would be out of whack.

  • that's a pretty ignorant remark. who are you to say everyone's morals are out of whack?

  • ragenut2112: I was using that as an example. Everyone's morals or lack thereof stem from somewhere....Huckabee's just happen to stem from Christianity.

  • That's called a "self-disqualification speech."

    Bye Huckabee, you won't be missed.

  • Huckabee really is a Christian equivalent of a Taliban.

    "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god."

    Apparently, he's never heard of that vast collection of edits and re-edits called the Bible.

  • NO!!!

    You are wrong.

    Even between two languages there is a difference.

    If you read the Russian bible you would not recognise it as a bible.

    Go and find out yourself.

  • Ayrleig- seriously the word of God has been changed more time than your underwear in your bedwedding days. Get a clue.

  • What a FREAK. Maybe he needs to move to Inquisition-era Spain.

  • "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross"

  • Hey Josh,

    I beat you by about 1 1/2 hours with that quote.  I guess great minds think alike.

  • If I ever saw a fascist this man is one. How can you go around and proclaim you are going to amend the Constitution to fit God's plan?  I never thought I would see the day when I heard this kind of talk from a man running for president. Say no the fascism!

  • "When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross" ~Sinclair Lewis

  • I fear for all Americans if the Huck is going to lead you...

    Bush had similar ideas...

    Grade-A nutjobs!

  • Three straight losses for Huckster? He's getting good at the losing speech!

  • That is sickening. God is great, but a political fuck who wants to be a God is not.

  • what a nutjob. if this guy gets the Republican nomination, any Democrat would defeat him.

  • Anywhere else in the world, a guy like this would be laughed off the stage. Pathetic.

  • Well said. We're ignoring the fact that many Mid-East countries have no separation of C and C and it doesn't seem to be something we want to try here.

  • Huckabee is scary!

  • He sure is, and several month ago, I thought he was going to be a mediating force in the GOP. Fooled me!
