Huckabee: If GOP accepts gay marriage Evangelicals will form a third party.

[Gutenberg]

Make my day.

See what happens when you make a pact with the Devil. Muhahaha !!!

Anybody remember when the "Tea Party" was a term that was first being bandied about? I seem to recall being told more than once that the Tea Party was not about social conservatism, it was about economics (taxes, Wall Street being held accountable - that kind of stuff). It didn't take long before the evidence grew that that is not the case. All you have to do is look at state governments where Republicans dominate - in a great many of them anti-abortion bill after anti-abortion bill get cranked out and many of them pass.

Is this one, of possibly many, signs of a split forming or growing between the social and economic conservatives?

Except that in many cases the two feed on each other...

Please. Yes. Make it happen, Huck!

Wasn't there a minute where he actually seemed reasonable? It seems that there was a moment.

Don't let the door hit you and your evangelicals on the ass on your way out, huck.

Turd-blossom's Faustian pact with the 'fundies is biting the GOP in the hiney. Muhahaha !!!

Huck is not batshit crazy like some of his fellow Republican presidential candidates. He will surprise you every now and then with a little compassion or common sense. But he's not the affable guy he comes across as on TV.

The thing about the Huckster is: it's always about his glorification. He is a total narcissist and is is extremely petulant. A few newspaper writers call him "His Petulantcy."

His wife is even worse. Before they left office in Arkansas, they went on an orgy of naming things around the state -lakes, roads, buildings, wildlife areas - for themselves.

Two people I know, one who worked in his office and one whose friend did, both said that Janet Huckabee was by far the most disgusting person they had ever worked with and that included Hillary Clinton in both cases.

That's a very interesting (and entertaining) assessment.
