Huckabee: Poverty Will Fall If Single Parents Just Get Married (VIDEO)
According to former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R), America's poverty problem would be greatly reduced if single parents would simply tie the knot.
The potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate made the statements in the course of his appearance on Fox & Friend as part of the promotional tour for his new book, A Simple Government -- Twelve Things We Really Need from Washington (And a Trillion We Don't).

GOProud Co-Founder: Tony Perkins "Demonizes Gay People" (VIDEO)
Family Council Research President Tony Perkins and GOProud Co-Founder & Chair Christopher Barron
The 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference hasn't begun yet, and it's already producing fireworks.
Those fireworks took the form of a segment earlier today on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports in which GOProud co-founder & chair Christopher Barron hammered Family Council Research (FRC) President Tony Perkins for not only misrepresenting his group's agenda, but for also being anti-gay.

Grayson Knocks 'Taliban Dan' Webster For Supporting 'Covenant Marriage'
Republican congressional candidate Daniel Webster
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) isn't taking any chances with his re-election, attacking all of his potential opponents as they fight each other in the GOP primary. But he's saving his harshest line for his likely rival, Daniel Webster -- or, as Grayson calls him, "Taliban Dan." Why? Because in 1990, Webster sponsored and supported legislation in Florida that would have made it much more difficult for people to divorce -- a policy called "covenant marriage."
In a letter to supporters, Grayson described it like this: "Dan Webster's bill reduces the institution of marriage to a roach motel: You can check in, but you can't check out."
