ok i'm a dope. pardons
The question was... ...what do you think... ...of using a cross for political purposes... RP's answer was to that... The questioner made the leap that RP called Huck a fascist and defended him... A non issue. You are right in that it will be (has been) spun as an attack on Huck.
I think you are right to focus on your relationship, if a 72 year old man from Texas can can recite a quote on TV and cause a "fracture" in your relationship then yes it is time for a come to Jesus meeting in your home.
Good Luck my friend, I wish you and your love well. I hope it works out.

That was a horrid interview...
I have to say I was also shocked when he said that. I agree with what he says, but sometimes it's best to left things unsaid (at least from a political survivability point of view)
He did what will seem to be an attack on an innocent preacher in a red sweater wishing people happy holidays and God bless them. Then again, in reality he really didn't attack him (Huck) at all, he just quoted a quote. It was more of the Fox News guy rewording what he said.

Our founding fathers risked "their Lives, their Fortunes, and their sacred Honor" (see Declaration of Independence) to found this great country. Don't give up your liberty for a fussing spouse. Stand your ground and gently advance your cause. Show your spouse that you are doing what you feel is best for the both of you. Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither." I hope you make the wise choice!

Sinclair Lewis, not CS Lewis.
Paul said nothing that was not truth. The nature of the quote was that patriotism and religion are the two most basic emotional drivers of leadership.
Here are some other quotes from former FDR VP Henry Wallace:
"The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power. . . .
"The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power."

This is why women shouldn't be allowed to vote.
(Only kidding)

Sorry, my family comes before the Revolution. That being said, I can understand it. My wife and I disagree over Ron Paul as well. She tolerates me so far. 
But, she just thinks he is out there on some of the important issues to her. Does not mean I love her less. And, if my marriage was standing on it, I too would walk away from the public side of this and go to giving my vote.

Someones post above leads me back to my thought. RP was not firing at Huckabee. He was firing at the media. They are the most obvious fascists, by the definitions I have seen. And, they are the long STANDING ones. Huck and the others are young, by that standard.

Huckafuck is trying to act like it is God that endorses HIM....like he is the only candidate who is in good with God. I think it is cleary a sinister tactic to use God for political gains. I don't see what is so obectionable about what Ron said....he is simply trying to keep the race honest. There is no place to using the name of God to further one's greedy ambitions.
Hey Huck: If you think Jesus is too smart to enter politics then stop trying to make him a part of your candidacy.

No, he quoted Sinclair Lewis, a well known Atheist author.

I'm in the same situation. My wife doesn't get it and just doesn't think he stands a chance.
