Huckabee Wants Women To Be Submissive
Source: AP

DES MOINES, Iowa --

(snip)

He gave the speech the same year he endorsed the Baptist convention's statement of beliefs on marriage that "a wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ." Huckabee and his wife, Janet, signed a full-page ad in USA Today in support of the statement with 129 other evangelical leaders.

The former governor, who rallied Christian evangelicals to make him a surprise force in Iowa, has put his faith front and center in his campaign. His stump speech sounds like a pastor's pitch from a pulpit. Campaign ads emphasize faith and call him a Christian leader. He frequently quotes Bible verses.

As his fortunes have improved, Huckabee has faced a drumbeat of questions and criticism about his gubernatorial record and the role of faith in his administration. He also has made some missteps while trying to fend off a challenge -- and critical TV ads -- from Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and Mormon whose faith unsettles some religious conservatives.

1. Romney wants women to be "good at sharing", 9u11iani wants women
to be "good at sneaking around" and afraid of BOO! Nine-eleven, McCain wants women to be "...uh...what was the question?"

Isn't that the 50's movie with the Martians dressed in gorilla suits and diving helmets?

5. I never actually saw the movie
Even though I was going to such movies in those days. I don't know how I missed that one, but I've always regretted doing so.

It hasn't shown up on cable.

10. I believe you are referring to "Robot Monster," one of the worst of all time.
then again, for a seasonal theme, try "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians"

3. I like Women to be Submissive. It makes me feel...
...like a "Real Man" and destroys the constant feelings of inferiority I usually carry around.

16. Yep, that kind.
They'll sin their asses off, because they know they can repent and be forgiven. My sister used to say when they return to God's fold, it's like makeup sex. Nothing really changes, they still have the issues that caused the problems in the first place, but hey, forgiveness feels so good, and God will forgive them over and over again....
