[quote name='Iacobus' date='Nov 9 2004, 11:22 PM'] He could have directed more funds towards AIDS research and education, it was and is a new virus that we know relativly little about. The CDC and Ft. Detrek (sp? that is the right one right, the Bio warfare lab?) are under the control of the gov't being gov't insitutions. When Ebola Zaire had an outbreak the CDC and the army both engaged in large and gov'tly funded research and preventition progarms.

Reagan never mentioned AIDS until 1988, the last year of his 2nd term. Why? Because, as Socrates has repeated over and over again in defense of letting other men die while doing nothing, it is a "gay man's virus." [/quote]
Whoa, some harsh charges there!

As we all know, throwing federal money at things is the solution to all problems!

It's the president's job to find a cure for AIDS, and to provide us all with flu vaccines, and make sure everyone has a job, but of course, it's not the place of government to interfere with a "woman's-right-to-choose" while millions of [i]innocent [/i]lives are taken!

Chastity and morality is the cure for AIDS! That's not going to solved with taxpayer's money. (But of course if someone proposes using tax $$ to promote such things, the liberals howl!)

Libs, such delightfully consistent people!
(well, I guess they do consistently promote immorality!)

Well, that's true. Bush IS the one who makes liberals mad. 12 hours of standing up straight from protesting CAN give you hemorrhoids.

When will peoplec get the idea that the economy doesn't change overnight?

We rode Bush Sr's decisions through much of Clinton's terms, then Clinton's decisions spilled over into Bush's. We are recovering from a Democrat at the helm.

Think of the economy as a train: It don't stop on a dime. This ain't rocket science, people.

I would use tax money to run an ad campgain and yes, chastity would be a key factor, however, I would have started that in 1981, not 1990.
