Huckabee -- "We Need To Amend The Constitution, Bring It In Line With God"

[durito]

I'd prefer to stick to sports gambling around here, but since there are so many people here posting ridiculous statements about the Democrats, I thought I'd post something from the other side (only difference being this is actually true). I suppose some of you would be in favor of this.

At a Michigan campaign event last night, Mike Huckabee gave an interesting reason for why he wants to amend the Constitution to ban both abortion and gay marriage: Otherwise, the Constitution would be in conflict with God.

Huckabee first observed that some of his opponents don't want to amend the Constitution on both of these topics. "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God," Huckabee said. "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."

Burn the constitution. We don't need it. We already have the Bible.

Change the contitution in God's standards?? which one?? define God in the realm of the entire country Mr Huckabee....what if I don't believe in a God...are you telling 300 million people what God is ??? this guy is crazy...

As always, the media takes one sentence from a candidate and runs with it. I can't believe they got all of that out of that one sentence. I don't necessarily like her, but saying that Hillary defamed MLK when she commended Lyndon Johnson was absurd too.

I'm not voting for him, but I actually believe Huckabee is far more genuine AND mainstream than Bush (granted that's not saying too much)...

As always, the media takes one sentence from a candidate and runs with it. I can't believe they got all of that out of that one sentence.

Here's a few more sentences from the direct quote:

I have opponents in this race who 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, to amend the Constitution so it's in God standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.

People who don't think that's pretty ****ed up shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Arriving Tuesday in Rock Hill, S.C., Huckabee called for suspending immigration from countries that sponsor or harbor terrorists, going further than any of his rivals in proposing to clamp down on immigration.

Free translation: Now we are going after the people that are prosecuted in their countries by their terrorist harboring regimes and try to get out to come to the US for a better life. This guy knows how to lift the spirits of these people.

How will this help fight terrorism? It will actually help it grow.

"You will believe in God and you will go to my church." Hmmm, is this why people left England?
