Wow... Mike Huckabee explicitly endorses extra-constitutional dictatorship in America.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

In the CNBC debate the man actually said that if the president seeks war authorization from congress and congress says NO, the president has an obligation to go to war anyway and let the chips fall where they may.

And he's the NICE republican.

1. I know.

Scratch the surface and they're all the same.

[Horse with no Name]

2. That ought to pick him up a few more votes from the flat-earth crowd

:(

[Ilsa]

3. I bet his support picks up five-fold with that one. I have thought

so far that GOPers didn't like him because he wasn't hateful enough. If he's dictatorial enough, it might be just fine with them.

4. have any of them even considered what domestic surveilance

and war powers means when a democrat is in the white house?

Want to see 6 old, odd, doddering farts suddenly change their minds?

5. Holy Chit!. . Well, at least Colbert will be his VP. . .n/t

6. Thanks for posting this.

Here I was thinking that he was the nicest one, and aside from the abortion issue and a few others, I thought he was alright for a rethug! I wonder if any rethugs are at all turned off, or is just the opposite ahappening!?? Argh!

[ellacott]

7. Wow, yes he is the nice one

I bet his poll numbers do go up.:-(

[incapsulated]

8. I guess he lost his understanding of Democracy

With all that weight.

14. He's a tricky little dude

and the only one that really worries me. But its just a "little" worry. Glad he outed himself as a dictator-to-be. Gives us good ammunition.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Isn't that the same thing as saying, "Let's just rip up the Constitution"?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. Sometimes the only thing that stands between us and military dictatorship is the military.

There are one or two among the brass that would think twice before following such an order.

[Bucky]

10. Brrrr. I'm feeling the chill

This is the type of rhetoric that ends republics. I don't know if we're in the last days of constitutionalism, but I know who in this country wants to end it.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

19. With you!

[indepat]

12. Why do 'pukes hate our Republic, its Constitution? They must really hate the American ideal and its

founding principles for 'pukes are undermining our Constitution by unconstitutional means imo.

15. They hate The Enlightenment: it thwarts their view of a perpetual serfdom.

[zulchzulu]

13. Nooses are really cool to make

The skill may come in handy...ya never know....

[TwilightGardener]

16. He's not the "nice" Republican. He's Chimpy-from-Arkansas.

edit to add: he also said in a prior debate that he would have to balance the Constitution against his conscience. He is a fucking scary individual.

[NoPasaran]

17. And when in history has Congress ever turned a President down?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. kick for the 9PM replay.

We are beyond outrage.
