huckabee is flat out lying, 79.5 percent of single moms work and only 27 percent live in poverty

huckabee's quote:

"Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance," Huckabee said, "their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing."

*****************************


The public image of the "typical" single parent is quite distorted. In fact, many Americans would be surprised to learn just how much they have in common with the average single parent.

According to Custodial Mothers and Fathers and Their Child Support: 2007, released by the U.S. Census Bureau in November, 2009, there are approximately 13.7 million single parents in the United States today, and those parents are responsible for raising 21.8 million children (approximately 26% of children under 21 in the U.S. today).

single moms:

79.5% of custodial single mothers are gainfully employed

27% of custodial single mothers and their children live in poverty

1. It is about time we force them to cite statistics.

Really fed up with how easily they frame the issues with a nasty derogatory term like welfare queens.

Framing was something that Nashville brook's group was working on.

Huckabee is currently trying to out bag the tea baggers. He is a disgusting person.

4. facts?

he's just like all of the other psuedo-celebrity types. He's got a job on teevee, he doesn't have to be bothered with facts. I mean, HE IS on faux news and we ALL know how "factual" they are.
