We normally don't want to encourage former Rethuglican Presidential hopeful and voice of America's Talibangelists Mike "Hucksterbee" Huckabee, but his latest crusade against his Party's weakening resolve against marriage equality deserves encouragement, because it threatens to divide the Rethugs on an issue that "social conservatives" hold dear, but which is broadly unpopular with Americans.
On his Fux program yesterday, Hucksterbee announced that if the Republicans didn't "grow a spine" and resist the growing tide of judges and States allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry, they should "lead, follow or get out of the way." Hucksterbee is among a dwindling number of politically engaged "social conservatives," and has hinted at forming a new right wing party around social issues that would effectively compete with the Republican / New Confederate / Stupid Party. We can only wish Hucksterbee success with that.
