Huckabee: Single mothers poor, dumb and unemployed

[CowboyBob]

The Lakewood Police Officer shooting scandal involving Mike Huckabee:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakewood_police_officer_shooting

"Mike Huckabee has received nationwide criticism for his role in Clemmons' release from prison"

It appears Huckabee's carelessness and inexperience is indirectly responsible for the death of a police officer. Are there other scandals?

UPDATE:

Hmmm.... the Westboro Middle School massacre took place when Huckabee was governor.

Uh oh. From the number of people who have quoted this..........

Did someone grab the wrong end of the stick here?

I'll bet someone is feeling really, really silly right about now.

BTW, Pirate, the quotes around 'gay marriage' are what one would expect from a straight right wing housefrau. I'm surprised that the phrase 'for your own kind' wasn't used as well.

Bob, you should really follow your own advice and stop derailing the thread.

Statistically, it is far more likely that members of single parent families will live in poverty than any other group.

The idea that poverty is strongly linked to single parent families is borne out by statistics.

Mike Huckabee is bass player in a band called "Capitol Offense" (fitting name).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Offense_(band)

During Huckabee's failed Presidential run in 2008, he repeatedly played Boston's song "More Than a Feeling", and Boston's guitarist and songwriter Ton Scholtz told him to stop playing his copyrighted song. They did not support his candidacy.

Huckabee used the song at public appearances without consent of the copyright owner. Isn't that a felony?

As a Baptist, he is intolerant of other people's religions:

"Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Mike_Huckabee

Or does he say that because he's ignorant? Even far right extremists Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh criticize him.

This guy is a loser.

UPDATE:

Oh oh, he equates homosexuality with paedophilia and bestiality.

The Cato Institute gave him an F for his spending and tax policies and a D for his career as governor. Appears he's a failure as governor.

Club For Growth, a conservative group, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars attacking his economic policies.

Even right wing nutjob Bill O'Reilly asked if he's "too religious" to be elected President.

Kathy Webb said he doesn't have tolerance and goodwill towards gay people. Mass Resistance's founder Brian Camenker and Huckabee have been photographed together. They are classified a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Huckabee was told this and he said he knew.

He wants you to buy his book. If this someone you really want to support? If this is the best the Republicans can do, then President Obama is assured a second term.

 

[CowboyBob]

hasn't that happened to like every conservative candidate ever?

unfortunately, the artists involved usually don't have a say in the matter.

Except when it's Ted Nugent, and what conservative Republican wants to use Cat Scratch Fever in their campaigns?

 

[rareboy]

I don't fucking get it though.

Huckabee must want all these women who get knocked up by some idiot who doesn't think he should wear a condom to keep their precious fetus and raise it until it can leave the nest.

How can he reconcile his apparent distaste for single mothers with his desire to clamp every uterus shut until his God says 'let this child be born' and bring this miracle child forth.

How can he have it both ways?

Is he in favour of sterilizing the men who have fathered and abandoned a baby? Is that what he's saying? Is he saying that the state should be able to force the couple to get married and stay together so that we don't have single, unemployed mothers?

Or is he blaming only the mother for the act of procreation....ie 'stupid cunt shoulda had protection' kind of thinking......

Is this what he's saying?

Please Mike and all of his sycophantic followers who talk out of both sides of their mouths....could y'all please elucidate?

 

[BostonPirate]

they wont answer because it doesn't make sense.

The republicans do not have a plan for the nation, just a handful of positions.

 

[frankfrank]

for what it's worth, Fox News insiders don't think Huckabee is seriously going to run for president (but rather, is using the press to push book sales)

Somebody somewhere (not on JUB, I don't think) mentioned that Huckabee probably won't run for President, but FOX will keep him on the air, grooming him to be drafted as the VICE-Presidential candidate by somebody.

Huckabee might like Wang-dang-sweet-poon0-tang better
And Gingrich could use "You can yank me, You can crank me, but don't you get up in the morning and thank me"

all of them a pile of dirt bags

 

[Kulindahr]

Other than the fact that this guy never got his mind improved by education....

he's actually correct about the Mormon teaching about Jesus and the Devil: according to LDS teaching, the two are actually brothers. Weird, huh?

 

[NineOfClubs]

To describe Governor Huckabee as a "frontrunner" in the GOP race shows you to be very out of touch with current GOP thinking..

 

[bike10]

He is paid by Fox News so why should he tell the truth?

 

[BostonPirate]

Who IS the frontrunner? My guess would have been Mitt Romney all along.

Every time the poll its different....

this is todays Poll....

A NEW GALLUP POLL has shown that there is almost a three-way tie between the most likely Republican candidates to run in the US presidential elections of 2012.
Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney are currently polling closely to be the party’s chosen candidate for the election.

http://www.thejournal.ie/no-republi...idate-for-2012-campaign-says-us-poll-2011-03/

but the kicker is..... Romney has 18, and Palin and Huckabee have 16 percent....

Not an overwhe,ming show of enthusiasm. Can ANYONE truly envision any of those three winning against Obama? Palin and Huckabee will ravage the only guy that has a shot... Romney. They will link him to Obama vis a vis healthcare, throw in a dash of christians only crap and mop up the floor with him.

Oh my God, Mike Huckabee hates you too:

What gay man would vote for this hate-filled Repubilcan?

He's racist, hates single mothers, hates the poor, hates gays. This guy is sick.

I'm a Clinton Democrat who has switched to Independent. I think the only difference between the your argument and that of the far right is that far right is open about their views.

I say that because what you're saying might sound good but I am almost certain that you are guilty of the same prejudices. You said: "He's a racist." Well, racism comes in many forms and if you as a gay man, aren't attracted to blacks, east indians, asians, muslims, etc. then that makes you a racist.

You said: he "hates single mothers." Well, if you aren't attracted to single mothers, don't befriend single mothers, don't invite them to parties or to dinner, then it's reasonable to say that you too hate single mothers.

You said: he "hates the poor." So, what are you doing to support poor people? Do you date poor men? Do you date poor women? Would you date a homeless man or would you bypass him for the perfect gay guy? Do you invite poor people into your home and do you live among poor people? Probably not.

So, I think many voters, like me, are wising up to the far left and are going to vote against Obama in 2012. It's going to be an interesting election. Also, I think more blacks, as they come into money, are going to vote republican.

I respectfully disagree. Huckabee is playing to the kooky right wing of his party. Apparently the family values thing is important to him, but whatever.

I don't think your assessment of what is in other members hearts because of what they may or may not do follows logically. Using your logic, if I sleep with someone who is poor, I support the plight of the poor. If I invite a minority into my home I'm not a racist. It's about what is in people's hearts that matters, not what they do as a show. Every year, in an extremely poor city near me, rich people from an affluent suburb come and pick up garbage for a few hours. It makes them feel good. News media cover the rich white folks picking up empty beer cans in the ghetto. Then they leave for another year. Do they do it to make the community better or to make themselves feel good? It all depends on what's in their hearts when they do it.

Welcome back.

Your logic is absurdly specious.

This isn't about JUBBERS.

They're not going to be running to represent and work on behalf of all Americans.

This is about Huckabee.

And what an unbelievably ignorant and dangerous asshat the man is.

Colbert has put him 'on notice', for not having delivered any of the ugly and incendiary fundamentalist nonsense when he was on his show, but carting it around to the shows that would resonate with his base.

So he isn't open with his views or he would have dared to direct them to Colbert's audience.

So on to the next issue. I've no doubt you will make a noticeable contribution to the discussions here.

Well noted.

This blaring flaw in the Moral arguments of conservatives is something they never address.

The child in the womb MUST be protected... after that? fuck'em. They are stupid welfare mamas who are on their own.

^Reminds me of something Bill Maher said last week on his show :

"According to conservatives, life begins at conception and ends at birth.".
