In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: "I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention." What was in the family statement from the SBC? "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ."
The ad wasn't just a blanket, "we support the SBC statement," but rather highlighted details. The ad Huckabee signed specifically said of the SBC family statement: "You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership."

No. Men are human and therefore fallible. Oh this pisses me off in so many ways. For the life of me I do not understand how they can feed into this archaic crap. It's cultural people not biblical. They dare not say anything about how the radical Islamists treat their women.

No. I believe marriage should be a partnership not a relationship of dominance and subservience. Was there also a corresponding statement that husbands should 'graciously submit' to their wives. I'm guessing not.

No, but I also don't have to practice his religion or join his church. Huckabee, despite what people think, understands that people have the freedom to practice whatever religion they choose. He has the right to follow his religion. But that doesn't automatically mean that he will force the country to follow his religious practices....
so this support of archaic religious beliefs doesn't really affect my opinion of him.

Just another pile of crap that's been wrapped in religion.
I love the rationale ... you should be subordinate to me because I'm subordinate to an imaginary deity that makes his will known with a voice inside my head.
Duh!

Democrats will certainly use this if Huckabee is nominated.
