Huckabee Says Let SC Decide on Flag

even though Klaudt was wrong to trick the girls into letting him touch them, his actions did not amount to rape because the girls consented in the belief that they could make money from donating their eggs to infertile couples.
But prosecutors said Klaudt raped the girls because he coereced them into the fake medical examinations and they did not consent to what Klaudt was really doing.
The charges involved two former foster daughters who testified Klaudt touched their breasts and penetrated them with his fingers and a vibrator while conducting what he said were examinations to determine ifthey were healthy enough to donate their eggs.
During one of the legislative sessions, one of the girls served as a legislative page - high school students who run errands for lawmakers.
The girls lived in Klaudt's home as part of a program that provides foster care for young people who have no safe home to return to after completing time in juvenile reform programs.
One young woman, now 19, testified that Klaudt did up to 10 tests on her, but only three occurred in Pierre in his motel suite. She said she went along with the exams because she believed the egg donation was real and she hoped to make thousands of dollars.
The young woman said she cried during each examination and Klaudt warned her not to tell anyone or she would likely be locked up until she was 21.
The second yound woman, now 20, said she initially wanted Klaudt to examine her because she wanted to make money donating eggs. But she said when he examined her in the Pierre motel in early 2006, she asked him to stop a genital examination three times but he did not stop.
Law officers also testified that Klaudt tried to manipulate the girls by sending e-mails and Internet chat messages, often with vulgar language, under a number of aliases. One of e-mail accounts pretended to be a woman who worked for an egg-donation program, and that fake person urged one of the foster daughters to let Klaudt perform another exam.
Klaudt served eight years in the House from 1999-2006 and left because of term limits. He ran for a Senate seat in 2006 but lost to the Democratic candidate.

Was this misprint a deliberate attempt to remind people of Huckabee’s alleged hand in the Wayne Dumond pardon, or was it an honest mistake? Why is it still live on the internet several hours after it was initially reported to AOL? When the first emails and phone calls to pull it were made this afternoon? These are dirty politics reminiscent of the Clintons and the responsible GOP campaign should be publicly admonished. Then again, it could be The Machine’s shot in the dark to discredit Huckaboom long before the general elections. One can never put anything past them.
Dirty dirty politics.
I have faith in The Huckster and trust that he will come through for us. He is God’s anointed candidate in this race and the 2 loses he sustained so far are to remind him that he is mortal and thus strengthening the existing strong bond between him and God.
Go Huckaboom Go.
