Mike Huckabee says "Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care." Mike, we single moms don't wake up and say hey, I want to have a family all by myself. We usually are divorced, widowed, victims of rape or of deadbeat dads--and who can the kids count on--their MOMS, their SINGLE MOMS who actually care about them! I for ONE of the many single moms have a COLLEGE DIPLOMA hanging on MY OFFICE wall; I am EMPLOYED; I have provided HEALTH, DENTAL & VISION INSURANCE for my children; I have even provided a PAROCHIAL SCHOOL EDUCATION for them. And I raised my kids ALONE for 11 years! Now they are almost grown & I am happy to say do not lie, cheat, or steal like MOST POLITICIANS and MEDIA-HUNGRY TV PERSONALITIES do! Wait, was that a bigoted generalization I just made?
Okay, as much as there have been a few things Mike has said that I've agreed with, I must say I'm SO glad you jumped on this one! With both feet, might I add!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME response, C - you should send this link to his email address/website...
Amen, sister! Nothing aggravates me more than some know-it-all white man making millions of dollars who thinks he knows better than me what I need/want/should do.
ReplyDeleteI made this comment on Huckabee's site--but added an ending about politicians getting off the couch & doing something about the deadbeat epidemic splitting up American families instead of pointing fingers at the MOMS holding the country together!
