Huckabee's Views On Women Scrutinized

GOP Hopeful Signed 1998 Statement Backing Idea That Wives Should "Submit Graciously" To Husbands

(AP)  Republican Mike Huckabee's record on women's rights is coming under increased scrutiny, including his endorsement of the Southern Baptist Convention's stance that women should "submit graciously" to their husbands and his opposition to sending women into combat.

Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, defended his record Thursday, saying he appointed many women to high positions in state government and on his staff during his 10½ years as Arkansas governor.

"If you look at my cabinet, I had more women in my cabinet and on my staff in key positions, including chief of staff, than any other governor probably in Arkansas history," Huckabee said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Huckabee had been asked on the TV show about his support of the Baptist convention's statement of beliefs on marriage. The former Arkansas governor and his wife Janet signed a full-page ad in USA Today in support of the statement with 129 other evangelical leaders in 1998.

"A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ," the convention says in its statement of faith. Baptist Press reported that the 1998 ad was addressed to denomination leaders and said: "You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership."

Huckabee was supported by 17 percent of women in a nationwide AP-Ipsos poll earlier this month, making him roughly even with Rudy Giuliani and John McCain for the lead among female voters among GOP presidential contenders.

Huckabee has faced questions before over his support of the marriage statement, with a rival in his 1998 re-election campaign citing the statement and accusing Huckabee of opposing equal pay for women.

"It's one thing for Mike Huckabee to think a wife should submit graciously to her husband, but it's another to have her work for less than she's worth," Democratic challenger Bill Bristow said in a 1998 ad.

Huckabee's campaign then cried foul and accused Bristow of taking a swipe at Southern Baptists.

In 1992, when Huckabee was a candidate for the U.S. Senate, he said in a 229-question survey submitted by The Associated Press that he opposed placing women in combat roles in the military "because of my strong traditional view that women should be treated with respect and dignity and not subject to the kinds of abuses that could occur in combat."

However, Huckabee's traditional view of women apparently doesn't extend to the political arena.

In the same survey, Huckabee was asked about the number of women serving in the House and Senate. He wrote: "I really cannot say whether or not the presence of so few women has made any difference in Congress, but women are certainly as capable as men of serving in the Senate."

That view also extends to the White House. Huckabee said Thursday in the ABC interview that he fully expects a woman will be elected to lead the country someday - he just hopes it won't be next year since he wants the job.

"Will there be a female president? Of course there will. And should there be? Absolutely," Huckabee said.

[oscarez]

Southern Baptist know how to treat their women, keep them barefooted and pregnant.

[micma-2009]

Huckabee likes women. He thinks that everyone should own one.

[memerider]

The Southern Baptists very recently regressed to their ancient Paulist roots and reaffirmed his view of women. They actually fired tenure female professors from college teaching posts unless the women were teaching traditionally female subjects like home arts. And Huckabee is a preacher for this sect. Electing Huckabee looks like a stop on the road to theocracy.

[rowdytexan2]

Does he live a dual life? The SBC ordained minister who expects women to be submissive in all things, and the lying cheating, stealing, neocon republican who believes the same thing? Maybe it''s not a dual life after all!

The Southern Baptist Convention is highly opposed to women leading the church. And they trot out that Ephesians 6 scripture every time you turn around. They forget that scripture was written back when men were still half animal, and women NEEDED to be protected from other men.

Thank goodness women have learned that they DON''T have to submit, and in fact can knock your lights out if they are willing to go about it.

The fanatics are preaching the same thing over in Iraq....turn in your guns, ladies, the MEN will take care of you! And by Allah if you don''t keep your hair covered, we''ll just cut your head off and throw you in a ditch!

Maybe I do like living in the US after all! Oh, but wait. How many cases have we had in the US in the last year where guys have offered their wives when they got tired of being controlled? Or demanded alimony and child support? I bet every one of those guys voted for BUSH!

These people are the Christian Taliban. Just like the Muslim Taliban, if they get power over this country (which they desperately want) we will see "morality police" beating people in the streets and "purity squads" monitoring every kind of media to ensure they conform to THESE PEOPLE''S interpretation of the bible. Your home with be "Christ''s Castle" where every aspect of your personal lives is scrutinized by little Hitlers carrying bibles.

You think it fantasy? Paranoia? No- this is just the expressed intent of many of the leaders of this movement. They want to take the power of the American government, then they want to use it to make you live according to their dictates. They are doing this piece by piece - under the radar so the alarms are not set off.

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

Every segment of society all through history has its leaders ie chief,boss, manager, ect. to run things, but when more than one leader tries to run the show, problems occur.Unfortunatly, such is the case with the modern family where traditional leadership has come against rebellion by currant ideology,and now chaos is the order.

[memerider]

And Huckabee raised his hand when asked did he believe in "creationism," or the fundamentalist Christian belief that the world is only about 6,000 years old and the supernatural being in the sky with the big gonads created it to look like there was a big bang and evolution--as if a supernatural being couldn''t make those things actually happen.

We already have an anti-science wingnut in the White House. Huckabee will drag us down the slippery slope into theocracy.

Mitt Romney is the Republican Howard Dean!!! Read all about it!

After the Iowa debate yesterday Mitt Romney stopped in Marion, Iowa to give a speech at Linn-Mar High School. He said the following:

%u201CAnd I%u2019m convinced the world will remember as well because you%u2019re going to do something which people don%u2019t expect, which is give me a victory,%u201D Romney said. %u201CAnd then I%u2019m going to New Hampshire where I%u2019m pretty solidly in the lead in New Hampshire, and I%u2019m gonna be in Nevada, and I%u2019m gonna win Nevada, and I%u2019m gonna be in Wyoming, and I%u2019ll win that one and Michigan. And we%u2019re gonna do pretty *** well%u2014that%u2019s at least what I plan."

.... Yahhh Hip Ha!!!

Everybody is reading all about this now. Mitt Romney is Howard Dean all over again. The media and the Democrats will now play this over and over and over and over.

This is what brought down Howard Dean and now is bringing down Mitt Romney. Republicans don''''t need another Howard Dean.

.... Yahhh Hip Ha!!!

[mcharlton]

Submit graciously to your husband. My wife won''t submit graciously to me. She wants to be an equal partner. That''s the way it should be. That doctrine is misguided and if taken out of context, can lead to middle-eastern thinking.

[realpatriot1]

jankebenz,

Mature adults approach life''s problems as a team working for the common good. Those who value their marriage and their mate resolve issues through collaboration. Couples who truly respect one another recognize that both must occasionally defer to the other.

That''s a marriage; what your describing is a dysfuntional relationship masquerading as a marriage.

A tyrannical cult of personality based upon the insecurities of 2 people is not leadership.

The marriage you describe is an ideal scenario more prevelant before the age of radical feminism. The feminist ideology and agenda has put a rive into the family unit by pitting woman against man and/or confusing the distinctive roles each was meant for. Man,s physiological nature is and should be to lead and provide,and women,s genetical nature is to care and nurture. Thats essentially what each were made for,but now both sexes are not satisfied with nature,s design and hence we have chaos

You may fool some of the folks out there with this but not me. You see I was born and raised in the South and I know what he and you are saying. The Religious Reich had a real problem with the Women''s movement during the 60''s because it played into the movement of Blacks, Both groups were VERY surpressed in the South. Any Woman who "slipped" and gave in to nature was painted a "bad girl" or was forced into a wedding. Once "Wed" she became a slave for all intents and purpose''s. How many times I''ve heard these "human''s" say, "keep''em bare foot and pregnant and you don''t have to worry". They, like this loser, concidered Women as nothing more than Property to be used.

[realpatriot1]

jankebenz,

My wife could be desribed as a feminist but there''s nothing radical about her. I think the concept is more a figment of your imagination than a real phenomenon.

There''s nothing ideal about the marriage I describe, it''s the kind of marriage that I and most rational and well adjusted adults in the 21st Century have.

We both care and nurture and provide for one another and it''s totally natural. It''s not a 50-50 relationship, it''s a 100-100 relationship.

[Con Mohrat]

" A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband ..."

Is this fellow in the 21st century? I think he must belong in the Middle East.
They not only believe that, but are allowed four wives.

And he thinks we should elect him president of a western democracy ??

[rosesnpearls]

I agree, we should be submissive. If we are married to a Christian man who is following Christ and living his life appropriately, we have nothing to fear; he will have our best interest at heart. Submissive doesn''t mean slave and the passage that discusses this is in the context of two way respect for each other.

[jankebenz]

Posted by realpatriot1 at 08:43 PM : Dec 13, 2007

"Flingbat" descripes that wacko pres that had his brains in his dingdong, more interested in skirts than the country. Bush is no shining angel sure, but at least he took action after 9/11 to fight jihad,which seems to have escaped from many memories.And I,ll bet you were rooting for him just as hard as the other 85 percent back then. Surplus? give me a break,where were you back then? obviously not in tune with the 9 or so trillion we were already in debt

It seems you are the one fooled, feminism was not instigated in the south by religion, but by anti christians rebelling against biblical principles and the status quo. Not surprising coming from a reich raper

[kansas1946]

The guy isn''t going to be president, so I guess it really doesn''t matter what he thinks of women. Why is he a politician anyway. I thought ministers were called to serve and not run for public office. Jesus would be very disappointed since he had no love for politicians.

I guess if a women absolutely should be in the White House, then Huckabee has no choice than to get a ***-change. I guess he is agreeing to that with his final statement in this article!

Hwy71So....
Please excuse me but I am a little confused by your post. "If you guys are so adament about keeping church and state separate, then why on earth do you keep trying to combine them? Liberal Democrats...I just don''t know what to think of them." I thought that the liberals were the ones who were trying to keep separation of church and state but you seem to be saying that it is the libs who are trying to keep religion involved in politics. I''m not trying to pick on you, I am sincerely interested in what you mean. As I have read many of your posts in the past I know that if you perceive that I am disagreeing with you you will attack but please don''t do that. This is just a request for clarification.

[element51]

After reading these posts I guess that my wife and I are doing it all wrong. We have a solid strong marriage and in all our years together have seldom had harsh words. The thing is that we have a partnership. We respect each other and all our decisions are made jointly after we each state our opinions. I do not ever want her to be afraid to tell me if she thinks I am wrong about something. While it is true that about 50% of marriages end badly I think it is due more to the influences of modern society than lack of religious beliefs. Also, for many years, people stayed together in miserable relationships because of the stigma attached to divorce. Finally, marriage is the biggest gamble of all. If you get the wrong one you will have problems. I was lucky. I got a good one.

[hwy71so]

No, I don''t mean to attack. And you''re right in your assessment.

It''s well known that as goes the media, so goes the democratic stance. The past two days, there''ve been numerous articles by CBS and the other networks regarding Huckabee''s religion; constantly implying that Huckabee''s religion will be the governing foundation if he is elected. Huckabee as proven through 10 1/2 years as governor that his religion will not rule the government. 8 years is max term as president, 10 1/2 years should more than cover as an example of how he would lead.

But, you are right. I have been quite aggressive on this message board and I''ll try to adjust that.

[element51]

Hwy71So...
You don''t have to answer this question if you don''t want to. I will certainly understand. I was wondering, from your name, do you live in Mo. or Ark.? I live in SW Mo. very close to Hwy. 71. Just curious.

Posted by jankebenz at 09:59 PM : Dec 13, 2007

Just hold on...! There you go again. Mr. Clinton tried for MONTHS to get Al Queda during his presidency. The CIA and FBI, pro''bly supported by the republicans, would not certify them as terrorists, so Mr. Clinton was not able to get landing privileges over there to send in the troops to get them! Mr. Bush was informed about Al Queda the day he took office and ignored them DELIBERATELY until the week before 9/11 to make it look like he was taking an interest. So get OFF the pissing in the wind about Mr.Clinton and the events of 9/11. It wasn''t on HIS watch!

As for the marriage issue, I see no value whatsoever in either partner in a marriage being submissive to anybody. Submissive means that somebody is going to have control! And that is against everything that a true partnership and the concept of supporting the relationship. And I agree that is why you MUST choose your partner wisely, and make a total commitment to the marriage. Those of you who found that partner and made that commitment, I commend you. Compromises and working out solutions to differences of opinion and nature is NOT submission.

However submission is the exact way that most theologist interpret the words of the Bible. And they apply it in the churches where they worship.

Mr. Huckabee won''t get my vote because he supports the republicans. Fortunately in this day and age, he can''t apply his beliefs to the work place. The 60''s did that for us, thank goodness.

[sgtrds]

"A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ,"

Sort of says it all doesn''t it? Huckabee signed off on this so what more do you need to know. He uses his book of myths to try to force women into subservience and submission. I''m sure his uneducated, moonshine swilling hillbilly followers love this idea, but most Americans abhor it. We''re (hopefully) coming out of 7 years of a lunatic religious nut who listens to voices in his head because he thinks they''re "god" talking to him and it''s cost us a trillion dollars and, more importantly, nearly 4000 of our best young people in a war that didn''t have to happen. Do we really want someone else to drag us even further back into the dark ages?

This guy Huckabee is a religious loon and belongs in the Hills of Kentucky, not in the White House......

Voters are tired of mean people, Mike is a just nice guy and all by itself that may be enough to win in this election after the Bush and Republican War years!

[hwy71so]

Before I went in the military 25 years ago I lived in Arkansas.

People. People, people, people. Don''t you all know that if you live in a union, a marriage, based on equality, you will have to submit to your spouse''s desires at one time or another. Otherwise, you''ll be fighting constantly and the marriage WILL fail. Why do you have such a problem with this "submissive" as presented in the Bible. If you''d read further, you''d see that the Husband is to be willing to DIE for the wife. I would hardly think that means the husband is an oppressive ruler over "his wo-man".

[realpatriot1]

jankebenz,

I just read a the response you made at 9:59 last night to my post at 8:43. Although your comments Bush & Clinton had no relation whatsoever to my comments about marriage I''d like to respond to what you addressed to me.

Republicans at the time were more interested in Clinton''s affection for skirts than in the country''s business, so no need for either side to get all morally superior. As far as Bush taking action after 911 and rooting for him, I was part of the 85% who wanted to kick tail in Afghanistan. I still do want to kick tail there and have been severely disappointed in the way he''s taken his eye off the ball on the real battlefield in order to launch the ill-advised misadventure in Iraq. It''s taken our resources away from the real war and has allowed the Taliban to reconstitute itself.

Clinton did respond to the USS Cole and the attacks in Africa in a proportionate manner. The attacks there weren''t compaarble to 911 and no Republicans at the time were calling for any more aggressive action than the ones Clinton took. His response to WTC1 led to the imprisonment of the perps.

Bush gave up on taking Bin Laden dead or alive a long time ago.
