Submit To… Huck?

image Mike Huckabee, coming down on his cro-magnon high from advocating the mandatory quarantine of AIDS patients also happened to sign on to a policy relegating women to second class citizenship.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a leading contender for the Republican party’s presidential endorsement, signed a 1998 statement urging wives to "graciously submit to their husband’s sacrificial leadership."

The statement, which was published in USA Today by the Southern Baptist Convention, also affirmed that "the family was God’s idea, not man’s, and that marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman for a lifetime."

But hey, he has a southern accent and tells folksy stories. So what if he hates gays, thinks AIDS patients ought to be locked up and that women don’t have equal rights.

HE’S FOLKSY!!!

    If you read his platform on immigration, it all makes sense.

    Basically, Huckabee is a big advocate of rounding up people who aren’t like him and sending them someplace else.

    In Republican circles, hating gays, women, and immigrants is a feature, not a bug.
