Huckabee once commented that "he would ammend the constitution to god's standards" which is somewhat vague but would obviously include things like a state religion etc (which makes sense seeing as how the word "god" appears approximately 0.0000 times in the U.S. constitution).Originally Posted by silverEJ8
Here are some other gems I don't feel like paraphrasing so I just ripped straight off of Wikipedia.
-In a 1992 statement, Huckabee advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general population. In 2007, Huckabee no longer advocates such an isolation, but he stands by his earlier view, saying that in 1992 "there was still a great deal of, I think, uncertainty about just how widespread AIDS was, how it could be transmitted. So we know more now than we did in 1992, all of us do -- hopefully." However, by 1992 it was well known that HIV/AIDS could not be spread by casual contact. In the same statement, Huckabee also opposed increasing federal funding for HIV/AIDS research and suggested that Hollywood celebrities should provide additional funds instead.
- Huckabee supports the ongoing War in Iraq and the troop surge.
- Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism. He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism."
- Huckabee supports the FairTax as a replacement for the current tax system.
The FairTax system is more or less a new flat tax system. Flat taxes are inherently regressive, so Huckabee follows in the Republican tradition of ****ing the middle and lower class via taxes.
In short, Huckabee would follow well in the footsteps of George Bush. A religious zealot warmonger acting as the benefactor of corporate America and the military industrial complex at the expense of American taxpayers.
