Mike Huckabee: Dems stop trying to control women!

"If the Democrats want to insult women 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," he said. "Let us take this discussion all across America because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be."




Wait, What?

Did Gov. Mike Huckabee just say that democrats are trying to make women think they need the government to control their libido's?

Yes he did, he even goes as far as to say that women need to stand up to these democrats and tell them that enough is enough.

Really Governor?

But wait, isn't the GOP the ones who are consistently waging their war on women? Just the other day on the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade they made sure to postpone their winter meetings so that every republican can march and show how much they are against women taking control of our bodies, and health.

No, Gov. You've got it wrong. Your party's representatives are making it harder and harder for planned parenthood and other clinics that support women's health to stay afloat. This in turn makes it almost impossible for women to do what they've always wanted, to be in control of their own lives. And to be able to make the best decisions for their families.

Your party has done everything in it's power to take away as much control away from women as you can. 

So no Gov. Mike Huckabee what you are doing is trying to insult our intellegence and we won't go for that. We can see right through your lies.

Bob McDonnell Goes Down

The former Virginia governor has been federally charged with taking thousands of dollars worth of gifts from a supporter while he was in office. When the investigation started and the media found out about the scandal Bob McDonnell thought he could get escape prosecution by giving all the money and gifts back, but that is proving untrue as he comes up on charges today.

These weren't just small gifts either, some of them including $15,000 to help pay for his daughters wedding, a $6,000 Rolex watch and $10,000 in Oscar de la Renta clothing.

 According to the 14-count indictment, the couple received the gifts and loans in exchange for McDonnell helping  on an “as-needed basis to legitimize, promote and obtain research studies for Star’s products.” That included arranging meetings with state government officials and hosting events at the Governor’s Mansion,  with the goal of persuading  university researchers to initiate studies of Star’s products.

In response to the scandal the now Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe has promised to sign an executive order to limit gifts to himself and members of his staff. In a statement he said,  “obviously troubled by the charges that federal prosecutors have made against Governor McDonnell and his wife Maureen and the message that this period in our history sends about how government in this Commonwealth is run.”  McAuliffe added that it’s his hope that justice will be served and that  he can help  prevent “episodes like this from occurring ever again.”

This comes as a big blow to the Republican party who was depending on McDonnell and Chris Christie to run for president in 2016. They have both landed themselves deep in scandal. 

It seems that the Republican party is being over taken by scandals created by there representatives. Will they be able to survive until 2016? Who will be under investigation next?
