I Can't Get Behind That (Special Election Edition)

Mike Huckabee: I can't get behind a wackaloon like you.

As I've been talking politics with friends and family of late, I've kind of gone out of my way to defend Huckabee as an intelligent, well-meaning Republican who I disagree with, wouldn't vote for, but wouldn't be entirely offended by if he were President.

And then Mike went and said this:



Key quotation:

"[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."

That's a rather historic statement to make. Has there ever been a presidential candidate who so blatantly and directly proposed that we so completely unseparate religion and government? You know, I'm a strong supporter of marriage rights for all, but I must make an exception and insist that Church and State should never be wed together.

So forget everything I said about Mike Huckabee. He's a total looney toon. Which finally explains why he has so much support in his party.
