Related: About this forumTYT: 'Birth Control Is How Dems Control Horny Women' Says Prominent Caveman
"Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) is so fed up with the anti-Republican "War on Women" narrative that he went on a rant Thursday, accusing Democrats of trying to convince women they need the government to help them "control their libidos."
"Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women," Huckabee told his audience at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in downtown Washington. "That's not a war on them. It's a war for them. And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America 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."
Huckabee, a former preacher and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, was referring to the provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires most employers to cover the full range of contraception in their health insurance plans. "* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

making them look at a video of Mike Huckabee. That'll kill your libido for weeks.

Sadly, the entire GOP is overrun by cavemen/women. Because of them, it is tough to get anything really meaningful done in D.C. anymore.
