"So now we're going after politicians who smoke cigarettes? "

This article looks to be written in some dem underground type place, it even mentions it. I could care less what politician smokes a legal product. It is curious though, that he has felt the need to repeat his AIDS test for the 3rd time.........WHY?

Word for sure on the legal product thing. Soon we'll be hearing reports about politicians who are eating too many transfats...

Gotta be honest - his politics may be horrible but I respect him for those AIDS tests. The disease is really bad in Africa and heavily stigmatized - to the point that people won't even take AIDS tests. An Afican man that is a success in America taking a public AIDS test will go a long way towards de-stigmatizing, and hopefully even making "cool," the idea of being tested. And while there, hopefully get observed by a nurse or doctor and possibly given the opportunity to get other diseases diagnosed.

I'm just saying. Now pardon me while I sit back and take a bunch of incoming fire from a bunch of nice folks who will say I'm a DU plant, a flaming Liberal, a naive idiot who falls for obvious political propaganda, etc, etc. Well, I believe that disease eradication is one of those issues that should transcend politics and I really believe that those tests he took will have a positive effect in Africa.
