Mike Huckabee sez: Our soldiers are afraid of catching gay cooties
Mike Huckabee tells the AFA's OneNewsNow that he supports reinstating Don't Ask, Don't Tell:

Mike Huckabee says he would support legislation aimed at reinstating the 1993 law that prohibits homosexuals from serving openly in the military.

"I would -- because that's really what the military wants," says Huckabee. "There's been some talk that the military is fine with having same-sex orientation people. But if you really surveyed the combat troops, that is not at all the case."

According to Huckabee, currently a political analyst for Fox News, politicians should back out of the picture. "...I don't think that these are decisions that politicians should make. These are decisions that soldiers should make," he says emphatically. "And when the soldiers in the foxholes make the decisions, they choose something different -- and we should listen to them."

How many surveys do we need? How many times do we need to remind the tea whiners that only they think that being gay is a contagious disease?

2. I wonder what Hucksters opinion on letting blacks into the military would have been 60 years ago
No. Not really. I know what it would have been...

4. Righties didn't like what the survey found out, so they pretend it never happened

5. Has he ever served in the Military?
I mean he somehow thinks it's okay for soldiers to dictate policy over the actuall leadership. Does he let his kids decide what rules he had in his house?

7. The military doesn't set policy
The civilian government does...unless he would like to allow soldiers the ability to pick which conflict they want to participate in.

16. No Mike.. what "some" are afraid of is this..
They are afraid that they will make friends with, and like a fellow soldier and THEN find out that he/she is gay.. That totally flummoxes them because they start to doubt themselves and their upbringing.

18. And amazingly
Huckabee has been elected a Governor, has his own TV show, and is considered by many to be perfectly fine presidential timber. America never ceases to amaze me. It truly still is the land of opportunity, if you're straight, white, Republican and "christian".

22. So, when did Huckabee "really survey" the combat troops?
It's a cinch old triple-wide hasn't been near a shot fired in anger in his whole miserable life. Who did he talk to for this "survey"? When? What's his margin of error? What were the questions his "survey" asked? Cross-tabs?

Gee Mike; I'll bet you know that bearing false witness is against the Big Ten. So you know that lying makes the baby Jesus cry. Give us the details of your survey.

24. I didn't know Huckabee was against the Iraq War.
Remember that poll from 2007 70 some % of US troops wanted withdrawal from Iraq within a year?

If the guys in the foxholes make a decision...

25. And how many combat troops has Hucklefuck actually talked to?
Even if the troops didn't want it, their commanders do. The Joint Chiefs want it. The President wants it.

It's gonna happen and I will enjoy watching Hucklefuck squirm.
