Mike Huckabee said: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 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.
I doubt much will be made of this. The Democrats are giving him plenty of leeway during the primaries in so far as these kinds of statements go in the hopes that he will win the nomination.
but they will nail him with it later....:shock:
Democrats said the same thing about Bush when he was running or a second term. Huckabee has beaten the clinton machine 4 times in a row, he knows how to campaign wth little. If you democrats want to win the presidency, learn not to get cocky.Exactly. He will go down like Mondale in a General Election regardless of who he runs against.

Because of their move to the far right, the Republicans are quickly becoming a regional party. Largely restricted to the south and plains states.
Huckabee wants to change the constitution. Last time I checked, changing the constitution is a legal right granted by the constitution. If enough people, along with huckabee(should he be president) want to change the constitution, and they get wbough support from the senate and house and the states, then, who would have problem with that? Whats wrong with giving the people what they(or they would) want?Anyway, the President swears to uphold the Constitution. Huckabee is a threat to it.

There is still stong support for federalism, limited government, less taxes, less spending, a strong military, a strong stance on foreign policy, pro-life, pro-family values, and pro America.
Huckabee has been rather non-conservative on his immigration stance, on taxes, and his sentiments on banning smoking at the federal level.
Yet another person misunderstands Huck. Only Fred Thompson beats huck on issues such as those. And we all know Fred's chances of getting the nomination. Fred and his underwhelming talk.
Yes, thats why the Republican's when they held all levels of government made so much progress on those issues while in power........
Oh wait, they didn't. They were able to cut taxes and blow more on defense contractors, but other than that.
Nothing on the whole "pro-life" issue - Why, because the majority of Americans are at least some degree pro-choice.
Nothing at all on limiting the size of government - Why, because the majority of Americans want a social safetynet, environmental protection, Medicare, and Social Security.
Nothing on the supposed "Family Values" - Why, because the majority of Americans don't like legislating morality.
With all of it they ended up running up against public opinion.
People are far to pragmatic for today's theocratic, bumper sticker politics, vote for us because its easier than thinking Republicans. Basically, if they keep down the road they are on the only constituency they are going to be left with is the deliverance vote.
In fact, I am going to ahead and start a thread on this very issue.
Now, the six million dollar question (because I'm not saying abortion should be banned completely and utterly in every state): Who do you think is going to get this subject brought to more humane standards? Not the Democrats. They are the ones who got partial birth abortion approved!
Sorry to interrupt your rant here, but banning partial birth abortions completely is dangerous. Oftentimes, it is used when something has gone wrong, and the fetus is posing a danger to the mother's health. Given the choice between letting the fetus complicate things, cripple the mother, and probably die, or using abortion, most sane people would pick partial birth abortion in that situation... unless you're a republican, that is.
There is also controversy about why this procedure is used. Although prominent defenders of the method asserted during 1995 and 1996 that it was used only or mostly in acute medical circumstances, Ron Fitzsimmons, executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers (a trade association of abortion providers), told the New York Times (Feb. 26, 1997): "In the vast majority of cases, the procedure is performed on a healthy mother with a healthy fetus that is 20 weeks or more along."[35] Some prominent self-described pro-choice advocates quickly defended the accuracy of Fitzsimmons' statements.[36]
In support of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, a nurse who witnessed three IDX procedures found them deeply disturbing, and described one performed on a 26½-week fetus with Down Syndrome in testimony before a Judiciary subcommittee of the US House of Representatives, where she states "[t]he baby’s little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his little feet were kicking," right before the procedure.[37]
Even the liberal controlled Wikipedia conflicts with your assertion:

Anyone else disturbed by this blatant theocratic attack on the constitution, and the secularism that preserved our liberties?
You mean the guy that switched his positions on Abortion and supports stringent gun-control laws? right, what a conservative.
Think Progress Huckabee: ‘amend the Constitution’ to ‘God’s standards.’
