Huckabee opposes abortion and gay marriage at Michigan church
Huckabee opposes abortion and gay marriage at Michigan church
Hopes to win over Christian conservatives
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) | Jan 14, 10:10 AM

Republican Mike Huckabee is back in Michigan, where he told members of a church in Auburn Hills about his opposition to abortion and gay marriage, and concern about job losses in the state.

He played bass guitar in the praise band. Before he spoke, the organist played a few notes of "Hail to the Chief."

<snip>

He emphasized his opposition to abortion during a meeting with about 100 pastors in Grand Rapids on Saturday, urging them to use their address books and e-mail lists to mobilize others.

Polls in Michigan have shown him running in third place, behind Romney and Arizona Senator John McCain, winner of the New Hampshire primary last week.

2. Indeed, what were we expecting from the Huck anyway?
Did anybody think he'd perform the ceremony for Larry Craig and his Minnesota men's room sweetheart?

3. Let's not forget Jeff Christie, aka Rush Limbaugh, getting busted at a public restroom
for propositioning an undercover vice cop.

5. I oppose abortion at that church, too...
a clinic would be much more sterile. As far as gay marriage at that church...call me a Neanderthal...but, my bet is gays don't want to get married in that church, either.

6. Yep - that church does not need to worry about gay couples crashing their services to get married.
And the Huckster needs to get a life.

11. In order to be considered "good" there
has to be somebody else who is judged to be "bad."

Truth is...10% of fundies are closeted gays, and they've been made to feel guilty as hell for it.

9. Hell, the 3 major Democratic Presidential candidates are opposed to same-sex marriage equality.
Hell, there are people here who are opposed to same-sex marriage equality.

Kinda sad that all of these people (including Huckabee) have something in common.

Oh, well, que sera sera and all of that.

10. True, but the Repukes are the only ones in favor of concentration camps.

And whether they SAY it or not, you KNOW that's what they ALL the Repukes want-- not just Huckabee.
