At the Republican National Committee meeting, Mike Huckabee was reading from a prepared text – someone had to have proofread it. This guy was a Southern Baptist pastor before becoming governor of Arkansas and he still preaches:

“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” Huckabee declared. “Let us take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be.”

He’s Rush Limbaugh with a “Rev.” in front of his name. He is calling any woman on any form of birth control – except abstinence – a slut and is calling the government our pimp.

This idiot wants to force women to make their rapists and incestuous relatives fathers of completely unsuspecting infants. Empowering women by calling every woman on the planet that uses birth control a whore is not my idea of empowerment.

The GOP wants to make you helpless by telling you what you can do with your own body. This guy has a wife and daughters.

Denying women, especially poor women, birth control is supposed to prevent unwanted pregnancies?

Being nice to every member on the condescending, patronizing, Just-Any-Old-Preacher-knows-best side of the aisle is not my idea of bipartisanship.

I will not on any occasion be nice to this chauvinistic load of manure.

NO, it isn’t going to happen.
