Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Sunday that Iowa voters likely launched a national movement when ousting three state Supreme Court justices who agreed with a decision to strike a ban on gay marriage.

Huckabee was in Des Moines courting evangelical conservatives who pushed him to victory in Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses in the last election.

"The significance and historic nature of the judicial elections here in Iowa were far bigger than the borders of Iowa," he said. "It was a very important statement that voters made, a statement that resonated across the country and one that I think will give legs to a larger movement over the next few years."

Huckabee spoke to more than 1,000 evangelicals gathered at a massive church in Des Moines. The gathering marked the merger of a series of evangelical groups into a single organization known as The Family Leader, to be headed by veteran activist Bob Vander Plaats.

Way to go Iowa, you will now once again be thought of as an ass-backwards state.

1. don't blame my county.

There was a HUGE amount of outside money poured into the state on this. Pretty disgusting, I agree.

2. Iowa varies from county to county

Sure there are a fair share of fuckwit fundies, but also, there are some pretty liberal counties

3. Huckabee also said this:

“I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that’s what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards.”

He's nuts and he fires up the other nuts.

4. Sure it is, Huck. Nothing like seeing 234 years of democracy being turned into a theocracy.
