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 thats what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying 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.
There it is, people. He wants to replace the Constitution with the Bible. Dare I point out a sampling of other nations who use so-called holy texts as the primary tool of government?
There is a part of me that admires the balls on this guy, to come right out and say it like that. But mostly I have to agree with an acquaintance who said, "[I'm] terrified of Mike Huckabee. He's like a clown in the road at night!"
Ain't no party like a Theocratic party
'Cause the Theocratic party DOES NOT ALLOW PARTIES.
AT ALL. EVER.
I'm gonna go take a nap now.

Maybe I'm just an optimist, but I believe the Republican dance with the Evangelical Right has been and will continue to be their undoing. The Evangelical leadership is an incredibly volatile and uncompromising girlfriend. They're not so much served as appeased by the Republican party these days.
Seriously...I think recent defections from the Republican party had a little less to do with Iraq and a little more to do with an alienation from the rising influence Evangelical leadership.
And what do the Republicans expect? In a nation that's becoming more diverse and duplicitous every second, narrowing the acceptance of ideologies is NOT a winning strategy.
I think if Huckabee wins it's a sign the Republican party is helpless to the whim of the evangelical right movement. And the party will simply continue to alienate more and more folks who are either Libertarian or Fiscal Conservatives.
