I thought he was out of line because she's no teen and he doesn't know the circumstances under which she got pregnant. It could have been contraception that failed. If so, she obviously chose to keep it. If you don't the details in the case of a woman who is not in the poverty level and not in her teens...who are you to pass judgement ? How is it any of Huckabee's or anyone else's business ?<br /><br />SB Smith<br />TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-90950531542812771372011-03-06T15:34:06.298-05:002011-03-06T15:34:06.298-05:00Huckabee said "and if it weren't for gove...Huckabee said "and if it weren't for government assistance their kidss would starve to death and never have health care"<br />The problem with this comment is that Huckabee is a stealth socialist who does support government programs...I know, I live in Arkansas.<br />I will not vote for this man.

Big battles over social issues will only help to create distractions for the left to muddy the waters.

Today, girls in high school have babies and bring them to school with them - the schools provide day care! It's a moral, social problem that perpetuates poverty - very few young women have the resources of a Hollywood actress. Having said that, conservatives need to make their 'social' views known but they must realize they are giving the leftist press ammo to divert attention from their other non-social views - AND - the right needs to know and prepare for the press to take out the front runners - they have destroyed Palin, they took out George Allen in 2008 - and they will take out anyone in order to force another McCain down our throats. There is NOTHING the right can do to win over the press - the sooner they realize that and FIRE BACK AT THEM the better we will all be. As for Huckabee - I don't think this country will ever have a president with a country bumpkin name like 'Huckabee' - but then, I never thought we would have one named Hussein either!

I am with Lisa, I am not voting for him in the primaries, but he didn't owe anyone an apology.Just a conservative girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982406297072353275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-2514353718870282042011-03-05T00:41:32.299-05:002011-03-05T00:41:32.299-05:00I happen to agree with him about Natalie Portman. ...I happen to agree with him about Natalie Portman. Coincidentally, I blogged about this exact topic several weeks ago... there seems to be a plethora of stars getting pregnant without being married. I don't get it.<br /><br />Anyway... it's definitely not enough to make me vote for him and as you said, I'll be laser focused on who can run this country from an economic perspective in 2012.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865685340069753604noreply@blogger.com
