Accused by some of not taking a strong enough stand against same-sex marriage, the Republican Party may lose two of its staunchest supporters.

 

Last week, Mike Huckabee - who has tried and failed to secure the Republican presidential nomination in the past - complained: "I'm utterly exasperated with Republicans and the so-called leadership of the Republicans who have abdicated on this issue. If Republicans want to lose guys like me and a whole bunch of still God-fearing, Bible-believing people, go ahead and abdicate on this issue and while you’re at it go ahead and say abortion doesn’t matter either. Because at that point, you’ll lose me.

 

"I’ll become an independent. I’ll start finding people that have guts to stand. I’m tired of this."

 

“We refuse to follow the leaders in Washington as if we were sheep expected to dutifully support candidates whose positions are an insult to conservatives and will severely damage the nation.”

 

Because you know that if they can't win using one of the two main political parties, they'll do so much better as Independents.
