Jeepers!

Uhm, how about no?

This is Nidan's worst nightmare.

Good Lord. This is insane.

i definitely don't like it - but it's pretty clear he's stumping on old issues to his base - talking about a constitutional amendment to define marriage

i think it's a terrible idea - but you'll find a lot of people out there (and across all religions) that will go for it for one reason or another and that sucks

So, my options then would be:

Concentration Camp
Stoned to Death
O! Canada

You guys thought I was blowing smoke when I talked about the Christian Fascist Theocrats trying to take over the country. Well, they won the Iowa Primary...

Thank God (pun intended) that it takes the legislative branch, plus the state governments to make this happen. No way Huck. No way.

It does make me wonder if I should take that transfer offer to the Great White North though... eh?

Funny, personally, I thought the Constitution already met God's standards.

Huckster - the stealth candidate no more.

Some great quotes from other sites on this news:

Quote:

...my head hurts already from the stupid.

Quote:

...building bridges back to the 13th century.

Quote:

...we could have a truly faith-based government. Like Iran, but different...

Love the last one...

Here it comes the Baptist Sharia!

Pretty please with sugar on top let him be the GOP nominee!!!

The guy is bat-shnitz crazy, but he will still pick up Mississippi and Alabama.

Having to put up with the bible on days that don't start with Su...That'd be bad for bidness!!!! Even Texans aren't gonna put up with that c*#p!

Quote:

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.

So, Huck is running on amending the First Amendment?

Well, I guess we can't criticize the guy for lacking chutzpah.

Right, because this aligns perfectly with Jesus' attempt to conform Roman law with the Tanakh.

I guess Huck has a few pointers for Jesus on the way to run a ministry.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

"The Huskster" and his pathetic breed will rightfully sink with that ship. Too bad really, I was looking forward to him receiving about 15% in the general election and his ass handed a ticket home.

You know what? Some polls say 20-30% of Americans would support this, in the abstract, at least. Probably different when they see how it would directly impact them. And a large percentage of GOP Senators and Congressmen vote 100% along very conservative Christian lines, and the Theocrats have been quietly stacking 1) the state and federal judiaries and 2) the military for about 15 years.

This is not quite as 'ludicrous' as you make it seem. It IS as scary as it seems.

Ok, 25%.

I have more hope for Americans though.

Oh it's scary... but ludicrous too.

It isn't like we didn't know he was a preacher running for office. Even Chuck Norris can't save him from these comments...

That abstract is a pretty big abstract. People respond to simple expressions like that one, but I'm guessing the number of people who really agree with him in the context he means equal less than 10 percent.
