Huckabee
STUDENT: Recent polls show you surging... What do you attribute this surge to?
HUCKABEE: There's only one explanation for it, and it's not a human one. It's the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of five thousand people. (Applause) That's the only way that our campaign can be doing what it's doing. And I'm not being facetious nor am I trying to be trite. There literally are thousands of people across this country who are praying that a little will become much, and it has. And it defies all explanation, it has confounded the pundits. And I'm enjoying every minute of them trying to figure it out, and until they look at it, from a, just experience beyond human, they'll never figure it out.

Apart from anything else, Mr Huckabee, the feeding of the five thousand takes place during Jesus' ministry. He wasn't a "little boy", he was all grown up.
This man used to be a minister? Shouldn't he have a vague familiarity with the Gospels?
And now he wants to be President.

Re: Is Huckabee a Dominionist?
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 -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.
Apart from everything else, that's a bloody funny use of the word "contemporary".
I suppose to Huckabee everything since the Enlightenment seems frighteningly modern.

Re:
One has to wonder why you think it would. Tell me: Reading the Constitution, what prohibits a man from marrying a tree? Consent?-- the famed catch-all response? No problem.
That would, in fact, be a problem. How could a tree consent to marriage?

If you marry two trees, is that twigamy?
