The Gilead Candidate
I really don't think there's anything else I can say here:
"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "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's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."
Jesus Christ on an unicycle. I don't think I've seen so naked an appeal to Christian Dominionism all election season. Even Joe Scarborough and Co. are momentarily gobsmacked by that statement.
I wonder how long Huckabee can keep making statements like this and keep being seen as a favorite of the press.
