US Elections 2008: How Huckabee's role as pastor influences his political ideals

Mike Huckabee For President.

Mike Huckabee as President is just what our country needs to set women's rights back two hundred year's. The first words out of his mouth was pro life. Yes I do think he is influenced by his religious back ground. By living in the bible belt I know first hand, that women don't have equal rights when it come to religion. Baptist are well known for their rules of womens place in the church. Mike Huckabee has been educated as a religious leader, not as political leader. Leading a church service on Sunday morning is nothing compared to running our country.

Go home Mike! If you think the women of the country are going to give up what few rights it has taken us two hundred year's to get. If it was left up to men like him women would be wearing animal skin's and being dragged around by the hair of her head. We don't need a bible packing President telling us how we should live. It's OK for a woman to work and bring home half of the house whole money as long as she lets the man stand around and brag as to how he brings home the bacon and is the man of the house. We have been beat over the head with the bible since time begin. Bow down and kiss the feet of man. Submit to his will. This is the kind of teaching Mike Huckabee has.

Wake up women, stand up for your rights. It's bad enough that we are treated like second class citizen in our church's and our homes. Let's not give up any of our rights that the law's of our country gives us. Our President should have some education in law. We citizens depend on them as our leader to see that America stays number one in the world. If we let the church rule our country we will end up no better than the third world country's that we are now at war with.

I know the United States was founded on freedom to worship as we choose. It was also founded on the fact the all men are equal. Didn't say one word about women. We have had to fight our own men for our right to vote, to have total control over our own bodies and the right to equal pay. I guess white women was lucky we didn't have to sit in the back of the bus. There has been more than one kind of slavery in the United States. White women still suffer from letting man being the Master. Mike Huckabee might just be that kind of President if he goes into office.
