Huckabee: Evangelicals Will Walk if GOP Backs Gay Marriage


Mike Huckabee warns that Republicans risk losing the vote from evangelical Christians if they back away from their opposition to gay marriage.

Last week, Ohio Sen. Bob Portman announced he has reversed his position and now supports gay marriage.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV, former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee — and ordained Southern Baptist minister — was asked if he sees the GOP ever pivoting and backing gay marriage.

“They might. And if they do, they’re going to lose a large part of their base because evangelicals will take a walk,” he responds.



Good
Riddance.

You won't be missed and maybe, just maybe the GOP can get back to the Constitution without them.

Well, waddle really...

 

[Pogo]

Good. What needs to walk is the idea that a political party should have a religious base in the first place. That needs to go, yesterday.

"Goddamn it, John ... the Republicans are selling their soul to win elections ... Mark my word ... if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem." -- Barry Goldwater as told to John Dean

So what will they do....form a third party? The Democrats offer nothing but socialism and mediocrity.

...and how about we start taxing the churches?

What he said^^^


Join the libertarians? Fairly certain there's tons of tarians that left the gop due to the RR
For a valid 3rd party? maybe if they could pull the minority evangelicals, maybe

 

[Katzndogz]

If the GOP thinks they can get more support from democrats than they get from republicans, have at it. Maybe republicans just need another swat on the butt.

Democrats have wanted to prevent Christians from voting for a long time.

Ummm... go buy a clue dood. Garrison Keillor is a humorist. That there is what we call "satire". The term "[laughter]" sitting in the middle of the article might have given you a clue.
Or did you even read the article?

The quote “If born-again Christians are allowed to vote in this country, then why not Canadians?” might have been another clue. For those who get clues that is.

And take your buddy, Poopy Pants Draft Dodger, Serial Child Molester, Admitted Pedophile and Game Poacher, Ted Nugent with you. Its too damn bad that there's no such thing as "hell" because the two of you can play your crappy music there.

They may not contribute money to the GOP like they used to, but when it comes to voting, there's no where for them to go.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Before the election, I saw interviews with fundies who said they could not vote for Mittens. I wonder ... did they stay home from the polls? Probably not because black is worse to some than even the nuttiest religions.

These people who think it's a nifty idea to blend politics and religion need to move to the Middle East - they've been doing it for thousands of years!

correct

Basically, Huck is saying he's taking his ball and going home, see you guys at home.


The best part of this is the RR is going to have to learn that the Constitution overides their needs to make people live a certain way.

they can do all sorts of stuff locally, but on a federal level, they bore me

More and more so, it would appear. And that's a great thing.
