He didn't say anything stupid…or hateful…so why are you hatin on him? Oh…because he is a republican candidate…that's right. you only say nice things about democrats…
Huckabee is not the far right fanatic that those on the left believe. I would argue that he is more liberal than most democrats. Its just that Perez and other liberals cant look past the R next to his name.
ahhhhh, gotta love Perez and his good old fashioned liberal bias
Re: Mattyboo – He didn't say argue with evolution. He said that he believes in adaptation…which is the same thing as evolution, but instead of it just happening…God caused it to happen. He didn't say you had to teach that God is the creator, but tell children in public schools that some people believe that a God created the world…you totally misconstrued the things that he said…There are very, very smart people that believe in creation, even SCIENTISTS…are they idiots? And he didn't call you in an idiot for believing in evolution…did he? And you think that people with different religios views than you shouldn't run for office? That seems a little…idiotic.
Re: Bar –
you comment about not judging is foolsh — should Martin Luther King not have judged those who would not let black students into a high school with whites —- should Lincoln not have judged Slave Owners.
you want to be the friend of gay people then start Judging the bigots loud and proud
Perez-you just don't like this guy because he doesn't agree with you. That makes you just as bad as the "close-minded" people that have a problem with homosexuals. You'd be surprised how many people are "liberal" and "ok with gay people", but in reality are not–they just say that so that people like you won't get upset. As much as you may think that he's forcing his ideas on people, you are doing the same thing with your blog. It looks pretty stupid for you to make a comment about how "funny" and "stupid" he is, when if you watch the video, he doesn't say anything stupid. And if your argument is that it's stupid because he obviously trying to say the right thing/be politically correct-duh!-he's a politician! That's what they do-and your beloved HILARY does it 10 times worse than he does, saying all this sweet-sounding BULLSHIT about how much she loves Obama. I really hate when gay people call people who disagree with them funny or stupid, that's immature and condescending, and if you want people to take you serioiusly: 1-act like a grown-up who has an argument besides someone being "stupid", and 2-quit flaunting your sexuality. You don't see me with a hetero bumper sticker, like it's the only defining thing about me. You're gay, we get it-you should get over it.
LUV THIS MAN!
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, DONT FALL INTO WHAT THE MEDIA PROMOTES.
I HOPE MORE AND MORE YOUNG PEOPLE LOOK UP TO THE VIEWS OF OUR GENERATIONS THAT FORMED THIS COUNTRY. LISTEN TO HIS POINTS, HE CARES FOR THE PEOPLE NOT SELFISH NEEDS.
Re: safi –
no even crazier he said gays are not able to train replacements (straight children for christ) …. he is a nut job

that is not a leader in the year 2008 that is an old school bigot
Re: …. –
The Bible mentions that certain homosexual acts are an abomination, yes. There were social and cultural reasons for that, however, that were very tied to that period of time. Historians and Biblical scholars believe that, particularly in Leviticus and possibly in the other passages mentioning homosexual activity, that it centered around semen and the sacredness of semen. It was an abomination to let it go to waste in any way, and male-male sexual activity would be considered "wasting" it, as would male masturbation. It doesn't say, though, that homosexual orientation - the feelings of romantic love, affection, and attraction to one's own sex - is wrong or even bad. The reasons for specific sexual activities to be considered negative weren't necessarily religious reasons, and they had nothing to do with Christ. As far as Paul's letters, many scholars believe that many, if not most, of them were not actually written by Paul himself at all, and they also believe that many, if not most, of his letters were greatly influenced by Christianity mixed in with other long-standing religious traditions, not 100% Judaism and Christianity.
And the fact is, Jesus doesn't say being gay is wrong. There are a whole heck of a lot of contradictions not only between, but also within, the testaments, but that is one thing that's certain.
You've been told that "evolution is just a theory", a guess, a hunch, and not a fact, not proven. You've been misled. Keep reading, and in less than two minutes from now you'll know that you've been misinformed. We're not going to try and change your mind about evolution. We just want to point out that "it's just a theory" is not a valid argument.
The Theory of Evolution is a theory, but guess what? When scientists use the word theory, it has a different meaning to normal everyday use.1 That's right, it all comes down to the multiple meanings of the word theory. If you said to a scientist that you didn't believe in evolution because it was "just a theory", they'd probably be a bit puzzled.
In everyday use, theory means a guess or a hunch, something that maybe needs proof. In science, a theory is not a guess, not a hunch. It's a well-substantiated, well-supported, well-documented explanation for our observations.2 It ties together all the facts about something, providing an explanation that fits all the observations and can be used to make predictions. In science, theory is the ultimate goal, the explanation. It's as close to proven as anything in science can be.
lets see dumb fuck — he said gays can not creative a good environment to raise children and that being gay is not God's way —- I doubt your Gay — maybe a dumb homosexual — but being gay means realizing when someone has put you down
Some people think that in science, you have a theory, and once it's proven, it becomes a law. That's not how it works. In science, we collect facts, or observations, we use laws to describe them, and a theory to explain them. You don't promote a theory to a law by proving it. A theory never becomes a law.
This bears repeating. A theory never becomes a law. In fact, if there was a hierarchy of science, theories would be higher than laws. There is nothing higher, or better, than a theory. Laws describe things, theories explain them. An example will help you to understand this. There's a law of gravity, which is the description of gravity. It basically says that if you let go of something it'll fall. It doesn't say why. Then there's the theory of gravity, which is an attempt to explain why. Actually, Newton's Theory of Gravity did a pretty good job, but Einstein's Theory of Relativity does a better job of explaining it. These explanations are called theories, and will always be theories. They can't be changed into laws, because laws are different things. Laws describe, and theories explain.
Just because it's called a theory of gravity, doesn't mean that it's just a guess. It's been tested. All our observations are supported by it, as well as its predictions that we've tested. Also, gravity is real! You can observe it for yourself. Just because it's real doesn't mean that the explanation is a law. The explanation, in scientific terms, is called a theory.
Evolution is the same. There's the fact of evolution. Evolution (genetic change over generations)3 happens, just like gravity does. Don't take my word for it.4 Ask your science teacher, or google it. But that's not the issue we are addressing here. The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is our best explanation for the fact of evolution. It has been tested and scrutinised for over 150 years, and is supported by all the relevant observations.
Next time someone tries to tell you that evolution is just a theory, as a way of dismissing it, as if it's just something someone guessed at, remember that they're using the non-scientific meaning of the word. If that person is a teacher, or minister, or some other figure of authority, they should know better. In fact, they probably do, and are trying to mislead you.5
Evolution is not just a theory, it's triumphantly a theory!
Re: jess –
your right bitch - Perez should accept someone saying he is not in "god's plan" and that he should remain a second class citizen and that he and all gay people can not create a good environment to raise kids …..
Perez should just shut up and take being put in his place - as a second class citizen — right … you would like that. Well tough. Deal.
This man is absolutely correct. The bible doesn't lie folks sorry.
Jesus does not lie.God has rules. They are written in the book of truth.
Satan wants you to not believe in what is written in the bible, he wants to destroy you.Dont get me wrong I know some gay people that are very nice and doesnt mean I wouldnt be friends with them b/c of who they choose to lay with. I just know it is morally wrong. I'm sure all you non believers will get offended by the truth and get all upset thats ok I know some of you dont know any better. God loves all of us gay or not gay he just doesnt like the sin. We all sin. I know alot of you are being deceived by the biggest liar {satan}.
To anyone interested in the Christianity vs. Homosexuality debate I heartily recommend 'FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.' It is the most concise yet multi-denominational essay I have found. Recently released for rental, it is also available from NetFlix. Thankfully it does not include Gov. Huckabee.
'FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO' (2007) In this Sundance documentary, director Daniel Karslake goes to the Bible to examine the ways in which conservative Christian groups have used — and sometimes exploited — holy Scripture to deny basic human rights to gays and lesbians around the world. Highlights include interviews with V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion, and Chrissy Gephardt, the lesbian daughter of former U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt.
Re: ….. – uh your talking to the world when you post something and the bible also says eating shrimp is a sin and fucking bloody vagina ….. it also says you should own slaves

Re: ….. – Exactly, and I personally am neither upset nor offended that ….. did contribute to the conversation, even if it was to disagree with me. It was perfectly respectful, and ….. was not saying anything negative about anyone, gay, straight, etc. S/he was simply saying that s/he believes the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, in response to my belief that it doesn't. S/he wasn't saying that s/he even agrees with what s/he believes that the Bible says, just that s/he believes it says it. And I responded with the reasons I believe it does not. That's it. Neither ….. nor I have said anything negative about anybody, and if you'd read the points I reiterated to make it more crystal, you'd see pretty clearly that I don't have a single solitary thing against anyone of any sexual orientation. I don't believe it's (generally) a choice, nor do I believe it's wrong. Reading what you want to read into someone's comment when it isn't actually there is just going to make you angrier.
Re: rjp3 –
"believe in Christ … not the trash written by men in the bible" is pretty much what I've been saying this entire time, particularly the first part. Not that I would call it trash, but a lot of the Bible, particularly sections of the Old Testament, *especially* Leviticus, don't apply today in the same way that they did at the time. There are a whole lot of rules written in there that were for health and social and cultural reasons, not necessarily because of religion and certainly not because of Jesus.
It's not that the rest of the Bible isn't important, and it's all really quite fascinating. But the gospels and Jesus' life and example are what I truly believe are what really matters most.
Re: rjp3 –
C.S. Lewis has a fantastic quote that I just love:
""I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia.""
I think that even were I not Christian, even were I agnostic or atheist or entirely disinterested in all of it, I'd still think Jesus is a great example of how to live our lives. I have a number of Christian friends and acquaintances who basically feel, "focus on Jesus, forget religion," and I don't really blame them for it. Religion can be used as a terrible tool for hatred and power. That's not that say that it always is, or even that it usually is. But it can be. Jesus, on the other hand, is always love and always a wonderful example.
mm
I'm a woman married to a man and I don't plan on having kids. Do I violate the terms of marriage as described by religions? The same sex marriage of which people are speaking is a legal request, not a religious one. Get married by a priest in a church without the legal papers and you are not married. Again too much mingling of church and state.
Re: MeghanC – Oh believe me, if you were an atheist, you wouldn't believe in Jesus either, you'd just stay away from all that stuff completely. I should know, I am one. I'm not denying he existed but I would never go so far as to call him an ideal or my role model. You don't have to be religious or believe in Jesus to be a good human being and know right from wrong. In fact, atheists tend to be the more tolerant people because they don't force their views upon others. I think it's time that the SEPERATION OF STATE AND CHURCH actually be taken seriously, meaning: leave religion out of politics and look at what the presidential candidates have to offer on a POLITICAL level. Because that's their business, POLITICS, not RELIGION. Then they'd be preachers. But even so, Huckabee would still be the wrong man for the job. It's time for someone who has already arrived in the 21st century!!!
Re: rjp3 –
Like I said it doesnt suprise me that some of you will be offended and upset that is expected not everyone has accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. And reading that you have only hateful foulmouth things tosay it sounds to me that satan has already gotten in your head. I hope someday you will be begging for Gods grace and wise up. Like Isaid some of you dont know any better. I am not trying to be hurtful to you just expressing my views. God bless!
He has a good point - not about homosexuality, but about being everyone's president. I have always said that Bush was NOT my president, because I think he stole the election the first time, and rode on a wave of complacence the second time. I could point out several current candidates that disagree with my lifestyle as a single mom, punk rocker, blonde, working woman, fat chick, red-state resident, etc. - whatever, but we need to move past the narrowest of self-labels and get someone in the Oval Office that will do what we, THE PEOPLE, want them to do. Huckabee may not be my candidate, but I've seen much more intelligence, tolerance (feigned or not), and ideas this round than in the past couple of elections. Vote for who you want, but just vote!
you're an idiot squared - Sorry it sounded more like you were arguing against me and with "you're an idiot is an idiot". I guess I just misunderstood. I'm sorry :/ I'm a dumbass
I think it's very condescending to imply that only people who accept Jesus Christ as their savior are "in the know," so to speak. There are highly intelligent and moral people who simply believe in other religions, or even none at all. You don't have to "feel sorry" for them. They are fine. It usually depends on who gave birth to you, and what religion they were, doesn't it? Most people don't study all religions and then pick the one that feels right for them. So, don't act so high and mighty. You don't know everything about God, and you don't have an automatic "in" just because you're a Christian. It is this type of attitude that turns people off to Christians.
I effing LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Tyra for asking that! LOL
This man is a DUMB retard! Rofl! Vote Huckabee -> Go back in time!
Goodluck Americans, make the RIGHT choice! *cough, democrats!*
Have shovel, will dig…
Love is love whether you love chicks or dicks.
Gay ppl that want to get married do not take anything away from straight married couples. If your gay neighbors get married, does it make your marriage better or worse? I don't think so.
Re: dmr003 –
self rightousness is wicked and honey you aint nothing but self rightous
straight supremists are as evil as white supremists - pure and simple
I am sure you like the idea of people having to beg you religion twisted fuck ….
Re: Apollo – Totally agree with all of this.
Re: Apollo –
Your right —- but these fake X-tians love being CHRISTO-FACISTS - believing they can impose their religious beliefs onto other and take over the country and destory it's secular ideas — all because it makes them feel SUPERIOR and LESS LOST so they are willing to toss everyone else and THE AMERICAN IDEALS under the bus === In 2008 and beyond being a STRAIGHT SUPREMIST is just as bad as being a WHITE SUPREMIST —– it is time to start treating them both the same - without any respect for they deserve none. Just like the Muslims who force Islam on others and feel they are superior deserve no respect or tolerance.
Perez why don't you show some clips of him saying some of the idiotic things we know he says daily…….this clip shows that he was really making sure to not say anything offensive which makes him look like he is educated. he is not a good person people. he makes bush look like a right winged liberal.
Re: Michelle –
Exactly! My wonderful friend - a woman who is romantically involved exclusively with another woman in a long-term, happy, healthy relationship - marrying her girlfriend would not harm anyone else's heterosexual marriage. If you don't like gay marriage, don't get one. And fine, not everyone is going to agree about any issue 100% of the time, if people don't like gay marriage, then okay, they don't have to. But that doesn't mean that they should prevent other people from getting one. It's not historically, or even Biblically (read through the Old Testament), accurate to say that marriage is limited exclusively to the "one man and one woman" concept. Huckabee doesn't have to like gay marriage, and neither do any of the people who are opposed to that. People are entitled to their views, and I'll respect that whether I agree with them or not. But it's another story completely to exclude other consenting adult human beings from getting married just because you don't agree with their orientation.
What a complete idiot! So marriage is only for people who can reproduce - does that mean that infertile people cannot get married? Does that mean that once a woman has gone through the menopause she is forbidden from marrying? No, it does not!
If he believes the "institution of marriage" is between a man and woman who can reproduce, then why not offer something to same-sex couples which gives them the same legal rights as marriage, but is not called marriage.
This man is your stereotypical right wing American, and it's people like him who make people abroad think so badly about America.
Honestly, this man is a fool - if you vote him as President, he'll probably try and get Shirley Phelps-Roper to be his Vice President.
What exactly did you think was "stupid" or homophobic Perez. Anyone can see that Mr. Huckabee approached the issue diplomatically and that's not to say that he dodged the question or gave an answer people wanted to hear, he was honest and reasonable. Maybe if you pursued a higher form of education you'd be able to understand his position.
I think hes just trying to make everything sound so professional and all that. Just so he wont offend the homosexuals.
I dont think what he says is all true. Im glad Tyra brought this up because Ive always wanted to hear this subject discussed especially from the republican side.
But whatever Huckabee =]
youre not going to win, so…yeah.
NO ONE can call this man insane or cold hearted. You may disagree with the views he has but he isn't hating people for who they are. It's disgusting how much i agree with this man. GO HUCKABEE!!!
WHY DO YOU SAY GIBBERISH, PEREZ, BECAUSE HE'S NOT SAYING WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?????
Re: rjp3 –
I believe we all are created equal in Gods eyes, regardless of race, religion, whatever.
I am in no way trying to make you believe in christianity.God gave us all freewill.
I will not do any mud slinging b/c satan wants that and feeds off that. I will respond to your last message and will not comment on this forum any longer.
I am not above anyone nor did I ever claim to be.
Why are you so offensive and hateful?
Is it God that offends you or being a christian that offends you? It really sounds like you are looking to fight with anyone that will on this board.
You dont seem to be a true follower of Jesus.
True christians dont call other people names and doubt the word of God. The bible is written for a purpose every word. You may call me what you will but it doesnt bother me; I know who I am and I know right from wrong and I love God with all my heart and soul and mind and always will. I hope someday you too will feel the same way and accept him. May love fill your heart!
Why don't you shut the fuck up and listen? He's right… he's not trying to take away your dick sucking privileges Perez.
Man, it is sad when someone that lives by the Lord's word is blogged as "stupidest." Heck, lets all just live in sin and kill each and do what we want to. Screw morals! yea…..
Thank god im Canadian..where this shit wouldnt be tolerated!!! Our govt may not approve, but the law says something different…No One is to be treated differently!!! period!!!! This guy is talking out of both sides of his mouth! He certainly doesnt want to offend, because of the power of the Gay vote, but still gets his digs in! how very very sad! Not being religious, i just thought religion taught equality and love and never ever judge someone, apparently there is only one god and he/she does the judging. Read between the lines here folks, this guy doesnt not support Gay/lesbian/Trans rights, and certainly wouldnt vote the marriage law.
He does not condem anyone in the interview. How is it stupid?? I dont understand. He says everyone is given their own choice. He doesnt agree with it, but everyone doesnt agree on everything…. What is so wrong with having an oppinion?
OOOOOOOW wow he sounds good, so articulate and forceful. I like the guy he deserves more respect.
he didn't say anything wrong, idiot.
How is what he said so stupid and wrong?? He in no way speaks badly about gays. He said that he had gays that worked for him. He doesnt believe in homosexuality, but he is entitled to that opinion. How is that so terrible?? Its ok for gays to voice there opinion, and it is supposed to be ok..but, if someone opposes it, to hell with them. That is wrong on many levels.
what a dumbass…please no one vote for him. Our country cannot be that stupid..
Re: Kendra –
Yes, he says everyone is given their choice. Yet, the law supports his opinion, and not the opinions of those who feel that gay people should be able to marry. So of course if you are gay and wish to have the right to get married, you will have a problem with his opinion. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, but I think you are missing the point here. It is like saying that white people had their opinion about blacks being allowed in "white restrooms" or some other white only place. And then blacks having their opinion that they should be permitted to go where ever they choose. Yet the laws back then supported the white opinion. That is where the problem comes in. His view is the view which is law. How nice for him!
go bee!!!
Re: MeghanC – ABSOLUTELY!!! What you stated is true Christianity Meghan! I stopped reading after your post. What else needs to be said? Oh why can't I meet more people like Meghan? You'd make a great friend!
I agree with him and I am a homosexual man. I am living a sinful life and don't feel we should be able to get married. Don't call him stupid for believe somthing you think is different.
Perez, you are good at delivering us news, but please be more bias!
So wait… Huckabee says that he's against "changing the institution of marriage, the institution of the government," but he's for abolishing the IRS and income tax (and many government taxes) in favor of FairTax? You can't have it both ways. I agree, I think he's just plain stupid and a ridiculous fundamentalist, but this clip just proved that he's so fundamentalist that he's willing to be blatantly hypocritical to defend his beliefs and still try to get elected. Geez…
He is absolutely right! It's fine to be gay, but you can't be married! End of story! We have come a long way and most people do accept gay couples and lifestyles, and you all should be able to put each other on insurances and things, but you can't call yourself married. Deal with it! Gays don't want to be hated or treated differently, but you hate people that don't agree with what you agree with. Hypocrites! You are hypocrites!!
His son tortured and killed an innocent dog.
Nuff said.
Re: Scuzzbucket – He didn't say that homosexuality was a choice, he was speaking about how homosexuals choose to live their lives. A homosexual can choose to be an outright homo, openly dating same-sex partners, or choose to be "in the closet," hiding their sexuality and possibly pretending to be straight. A homosexual could choose to be "whorish" or choose to have one, life-long partner. These choices are the same for heteros as well. There are choices involved in how you express your sexuality, that is what Huckabee was getting at.
lol.. *the stupidest
I didn't really like him, but I thought everything he said was pretty good, and not that extreme at all. hmmm
Huckabee would make a better President than any of the garbage we have left. Ughhh. Can you believe someone like Hillary or Obama could actually be President?
Ask anyone why they like Obama and they'll say they want change. What kind of change he's talking about ….they have no idea. We are surrounded by morons. Anyone who backs Obama can't seriously have ever read our Constitution.
Re: spinky – Intelligent lady. From a conservative Christian mother of three. Ok, somewhat conservative…lol. Oh, and my husband's father is a pastor. But you seem like the kind of person I'd befriend in a heartbeat, cuz I like intelligent, common sense people, and that's what my family and I judge people on. I don't care who any of my friends are "relating" with, as long as they are safe and happy.
So…Spinky rocks!
Why is he still in the race??? He wants to get rid of the IRS. Nice thought but lets stick with reality. I guess he thinks that the government will just magically make money to pay the military, run our schools, and defend our country.
He may be a nice man. I will not argue that. But his ideas do not work for the federal government.
Equality…i think that is the pretty much the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence.
Holy crap Perez can you not have a man have his own views? He even says that he supports letting everyone have their own beliefs. Liberals are the real ones trying to supress peoples views. 'Nuff said.
OK You don't believe the bib.e. Big deal. Lots of folks don't believe in the bible and are going to buntr in hell. Especailly homos. yawn, You want to hump a sphincter instaead of a vagina with nothing but muscles dtaining you.
OK. You play with death. You get death. Love a woman. Make love to a woaman. You create life. So long sad homo. Hell is forever!

Hey RJP3 - I've taken your own comments and reversed them. See how your comment makes no sense…and shows you are full of hate for others, because you think they are full of hate.
hey thumbsucker — just because RJP3 believe it is a OK does not make it OK for other people — RJP3's belief about SIN is pointless and the issue is RJP3 does not understand that === go crawl into a hole because unless RJP3's desire is to oppress others with his/her self-serving belief then RJP3's teaching mean NOTHING to other people. BTW the same bible you are quoting says FOOLS DISPISE WISDOM (or letting other people have an opinion.
Wake the fuck up bigot
Re: becky – "…he makes bush look like a right winged liberal." o|O Liberals are on the right? When the hell did that change?!?
marriage and other institutions are already made up so who cares if they're redefined…they're already a bunch of made up crap
what a humble man. i love him, even though i don't think he stands a chance at being our next president. america doesn't want someone who actually believes in objective moral values–we care too much about living lives of hedonism to be bothered with morality. good for huckabee for sticking up for what's right, and doing so in a humble way.
Re: Ray Bernard – Your Canadian?? ewww get outta here you bootleg, cheap version of an American. Get Out! Get out i said!! GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!
What a fucking moron. "A choice or a lifestyle" - anyone who was running for president or in an election should be smart enough to know that being gay isn't a choice or a lifestyle - fucken piece of shit
Go Huck!!!!!!!!!!
he has some crazy views but he seems sensible. he doesn't have hatred towards the gays and i thought he did
hahaha Tyra is like "yeah, uh huh, sure, of course, yeah *cough* you're full of shit *cough*" ! hahahaha
Re: WTF? – You better get outta here. You wanna be an American and don't even speak your own language: "Your Canadian". lmao It's "YOU'RE Canadian" lol Criticizing others although you're an uneducated moron yourself. I guess you really are an American after all. Canadians are the better Americans (and just for clarification purposes, I am neither)
i love him.
Re: Alendra – Fuck you, narrow-minded BITCH. Not being religious does not equal not having any MORALS. I am a proud atheist and morally I'm surely a better person than fucking Huckabee, and many other religious people (ever looked at statistics about religiousness in prisons???). I would never go on tv and lie to the public, claiming to respect people when in reality I don't. Lying is a sin? Well then too bad, in that case he is not a "good christian", because I don't believe a word he says. Elect him president, and you'll see how quickly he'll make gays' lives miserable.
Anyway, back to my original point: LEAVE NON-RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ALONE!!!
He is a good man and is entitled to his beliefs. I will not vote for him, but I respect him for being honest and following his own path. Marriage is a traditional arrangement meant to bind parents who are bearing children. It should not be reconfigured; same sex couples should have a civil process that affords them equal access to family benefits. I don't think it is different from straight couples that live as partners outside of marriage. Those people merely make legal arrangements to share assets and benefits, it they choose.
Perez,
What's the deal with giving mild stories to your "Don't click here if your easily offended", then show us a full frontal gay sex act a short while ago? You are hurting your own cause in doing that. And I agree with the honorable Mike Huckabee.
someone should cut that douchebags tounge out
Hes a dumbass.
Tyra did a great job getting Huck to be specific about his views. Having only seen her in clips of outrageous moments reshown on other shows, I didn't realize Tyra had it in her! Good job girl!
i think he sounded really smart, go huckabee! you crazy populist!
What the fuck???
LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF MARRIAGE!
How can he say that we need to conserve the institution of marriage when there are people who only stay married for a couple of days and hours? What makes that type of idiotic nuptial seem more worthy over a love between two individuals that happens to be between two men or two women that lasts years and decades??
AND BTW, FUCKEDUPBEE, WHAT MAKES YOU SO GREAT TO BE THE ONE TO TEACH ABOUT GOD TO YOUR CHILDREN? All you do or did in explaining to them about God's true meaning of love is by passing on your senseless and ridiculous views which include HATE!
Love in God's perception has no preference or limit!!!!!!!
Wow this guy is sick,but whats more sickening is people on here acting like he cant be judged while his record in politics and his rhetoric in the past has been very hateful and divisive and judgmental, and yet scum on here act so pissed that some dare to analyze this demonic freak. The fact remains is that people are born gay and should be treated with respect and all rights afforded everyone,period,that means you dont hide who you are ,youre not treated like a second class citizen and being gay is not about sex,its who youre attracted to and who you love. So for the mininformed hatemongrels in here who say we have gay friends but you dont talk about the gay sex part IM kind of floored by such bigotry and stupidity. Keep this country free and modern and decent,keep conservative republicans far awary from washington d.c and vote democrat.so we dont turn into a christo-fascist version of the taliban.
he seems NORMAL and SMART and what he said MADE SENSE to me. what is the big deal?
Hes a rightwing hatemonger period,and when he uses words like life-style choice its a slap in the face to gay people obviously who are born gay. Reading the disgusting comments in here from rightwing bigots it makes me think how backwards we are compared to europe ,canada and australlia and how many of the people in this country resemeble radical islam . If he can slam gay people in his own southern kkk home spun way he sure can be slammed right back,and for all you gross southern conservatives here who hate gays and perez so much ,dont come on here because it makes you lowlife hypocrites doesnt it,you bet it does
Re: safi – NO, he said thats what procreation is for…training replacements…i swear, no one actually listens when someone is speaking whom they don't want to hear.
Re: rjp3 – Someone who disagrees with you is a bigot? He wasn't being mean and hateful…why can't people see that.
Re: rjp3 – Oh my God…did he say straight people for christ…Where are you people pulling these things from…
wow…. he is one very dumb man….. obviously the proof we have of being here before the bible was created isn't enough to know.. that we were not there from the beginning of the story… and I don't see why he thinks we shouldn't change out basic things like Church and stuff because they are clearly Flawed and were just used for power but… whatever…. im just one person… like him… hopefully not quite as stupid but yeah.
Re: mrbluehopes – I don't get the impression that he was referring to having a homosexual orientation as being a choice. Rather, it seems he was saying that acting on it would be a choice. As a straight woman, I choose who I do and don't sleep with, so of course the same is true of gays.
.
On another note (and this isn't directed to you, mrbluehopes) he's more than likely not going to be nominated. As for me, I'm voting third party this year. There is one thing that annoys me, and both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of this, I think. I don't like when people are intolerant of people who disagree with their views. It's one thing to disagree, but it's quite another to mock and hate those you disagree with.
Re: Ashley – No offense, but the (probably untrue) generalization that those who see nothing wrong with what he said are "gross Southern conservatives" makes it seem like you're quite biased against those who disagree with you. I'm not a Republican, but I don't think emotional personal attacks make convincing arguments. Please don't take what I said offensively, by the way. I just disagree with how you presented your views.
The thing you are failing to realize about Huckabee is that he may be more GENUINELY respectful of homosexuals than many other candidates that claim to be just to receive votes. You punish him for being honest and more intelligent on this matter than you could ever be. Go ahead and call me names. At least I'm not willing to sacrifice my integrity, and neither is Huckabee. Good for him. It is sad that there is only one honest person running fro president.
Re: Ryan –
nothing he said was respectful at all
he just share his religious bigotry using a nice tone
he is a straight supremist - there is NOTHING respectful about that
Re: Jennifer B. – that choice of acting on it is a logic trap
and it is offensive —- to tell any man that his private actions are sinful with another man is sinful if STRAIGHT SUPREMISTS BULLSHIT
as bad as being a white supremist
