If the GOP wants to hang onto former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, the party needs to “find Jesus soon” and oppose gay marriage more aggressively, the former presidential candidate suggested Tuesday.
In an interview with the American Family Association’s radio show, Huckabee said he was “utterly exasperated” with Republicans for failing to stand up for traditional marriage after the Supreme Court cleared the way for gay marriage in several states on Monday.
“[I]f the Republicans wanna lose guys like me, and a whole bunch of still God-fearing Bible-believing people, go ahead and just abdicate on this issue, and go ahead and say abortion doesn’t matter either,” he said.
“Because at that point, you lose me, I’m gone,” Huckabee continued. “I’ll become an independent, I’ll start finding people that have guts to stand. I’m tired of this.”

bye, bye
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Please, please, please crusade on to irrelevancy. And drag a heap of other trolls down with you. I suggest Russia. They seem to be fighting all the good battles these days. You’ll feel right at home.
Where exactly do you think you are going Huck? You must have a destination in mind. Otherwise it’s a pretty transparent empty threat.
A guy like Huckabee scares me. He could be the model for Buzz Windrip, the main character in Sinclair Lewis’s 1935 novel “It Can’t Happen Here” about how fascism comes to America.
Windrip is this folksy, Bible-lovin’, plain folk guy who becomes a fascist dictator of the US. The book is still in print.
