Lots of things for men are covered by insurance, INCLUDING supporting their need for sex with things like viagra. Women only want that same treatment. Since women don't have a choice about having a uterus, they simply want coverage of medication that allows them to control what it does. Telling them that they should just keep their legs closed is exactly the problem. They simply want equal treatment. Women like sex too.
I really don't understand how some folks can be so obnoxious to not see the obvious sexism here. By the way I am a man. You don't need to be a woman, or a democrat, to understand equality. But then again, this is the same group that is trying to hold on to many forms of oppression, so we shouldn't be surprised. They don't really understand what equality means and fight it on every front. They continue to lose that fight, by the way. But god bless them they keep trying.

Reason: flaming
Exactly--no reason for hysteria over that statement. I don't even see much issue with the 'libido' reference, and in any case it is entirely incidental to the point. As Cokie Roberts used to say, there's no there there. But they sure are getting worked up over it, aren't they.
I know, but libido was probably not a good word to use. In politics, they come at you for those things.
Again conservatives are very very fortunate that most Americans won't even hear what Mike Huckabee said, don't know who is and wouldn't be able to identify him as a conservative.
I think for a very long time in this nation there was a level of political agreement over basic reality. The Republican party used to be rational. I think many voters just assume that hey he or she is from one of the major political parties how radical can that person be, but conservatives are radical. They believe insane things about a lot of different topics.
They have a weird understanding of American history and culture, and they are fearful of other Americans ruining their nation.
conservatives hate the last 100 or so years of American history because it has been defined by an activist federal government. conservatives hated social security, they hated medicare, they hated medicaid, they hated unemployment benefits, etc and so on.
They have antiquated views on black people, muslims, women, gay people, etc and so on. They are wedded to an economic philosophy that caused the largest recession in American history.
And still they change nothing, they question nothing, it just same rhetoric over and over and over again. It is so boring. Mike Huckabee could have said this in 2005 or 1995 or 1985 or 1975 or 1965 conservatives don't evolve they don't change, they don't say hey maybe that idea is wrong. Nope same crap different year.
If you need help from the government, any help, it means you're incapable of doing for yourself. Doesn't matter if it's libido, food, milk, whatever.
Isn't it funny how libs spout all the time about how a woman's body is theirs to do with as they choose. But they can't perform the simple function of keeping their legs closed. If you want to accept control, show you're capable or can accept the responsibility if you don't.
so what you're saying is, you believe premarital sex is wrong and women who have premarital sex should be punished, because of your beliefs?
This is fascinating. Huckabee made a simple, easy to understand argument and you folks on the left have deliberately twisted and perverted it away from what he actually said. You people are actually afraid of Huckabee, aren't you? It's the only explanation for the total and deliberate lying and misinterpretations being made about his comments. You libs are more worried about 2014 and 2016 than I realized.
Huckabee? lmfao. Doesn't he do infomercials now?
soon to be the next spokesman for reverse mortgages, or maybe even the Rascal mobile device, another media has been.

Then don't ***** about the number of abortions women have. How about the married woman who doesn't want to have kids? Or the woman living with her boyfriend who doesn't want to have kids. Sounds like they're being responsible. And what about the male factor in this equation?
Yours is a typical GOP response, and ultimatly it will cost your party in the women's vote.
