I'd like to see the context of that. Listening to the last line it doesn't sound as ominous as at first. It sounds less religious and more ideals found in religion, such as kindness and compassion.

Huck, the Constitution and 'God's standards'

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy
WARREN, Mich. -- Huckabee's closing argument to voters here this evening
featured a few new stories and two prolonged sections on illegal immigration
and Christian values.
These two topics usually feature prominently in Huckabee's stump speech, but
last night he got specific, promising to build a border fence within 18
months if elected and elaborating on his belief that the constitution needs
to be amended.
"[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I
believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to
change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend
the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's
standards," Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human
life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a
woman.
Huckabee often refers to the need to amend the constitution on these
grounds, but he has never so specifically called for the Constitution to be
brought within "God's standards," which are themselves debated amongst
religious scholars. As a closing statement he asked the room of nearly 500
supporters to "pray and then work hard, and in that order," to help him
secure a victory in Tuesday's GOP primary.
Tomorrow Huckabee will visit two polling places in the morning before taking
off for South Carolina where he will watch Michigan's returns come in.

OMG please lord don't let him win.
If he turns out to be the nominee, all of this will come out again and blast him out of the water.

OMG please lord don't let him win.
Amen!
If this guy in nominated he would do more damage to Conservatism and the GOP than anyone.
The thing is that he is one of the few who would actually lose if nominated.
IMO, he won't get it. Conservatives will not support him in states where only Republicans can vote for Republicans in their primaries. He's getting moderates, cross-over-libs and indies who will vote Dem anyway come Nov.
He is the DNC's wet-dream. Can you imagine the accusations from the left and the questions from the press?
Huck would be toast.
This guy has no idea.
