I find Huckabee’s comment “devalue people” very interesting, in light of the fact that the Republican Party has for the past few years devalued the poor, the immigrants, the minorities, the unemployed and women. Moreover it is Huckabee who just yesterday in his speech about women and their”libidos” had the interesting view that it was the democrats who were trying to control women reproductive rights rather than the other way around. I have to say that I find Huckabee’s worldview slightly skewed and not in the right direction. It appears that what I see up, he would say it was down. I appreciate the fact that he is is seeing clearly when he is asking the tea party to back off on primarying, it is a very self-destructive tactic in the game of politics. The democrats do benefit from the tea party’s absolutism when it comes to purity within their party. To me it is statements such as these given by Huckabee that shows me that he really doesn’t understand what is at stake here. His party by their actions in congress such as cutting the SNAP benefits and letting the unemployment benefits expire, devalue those constituents who are the less fortunate and the most vulnerable. Furthermore, his party by their consistent attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, make getting abortions more difficult and let’s not forget birth control, that is the essence of controlling a woman’s private life through the insertion of government, not the democrats, who believe otherwise.
