BTW, if State Senator John McKinney is half as despicable an excuse for a Republican and for a human being as his congresscritter father who died of AIDS, we don't need him either. Lieberman won't die of AIDS, whatever his drawbacks may be.
Stewart McKinney contracted HIV/AIDS during heart surgery where he was given blood from an HIV infected donor. That does not make him a despicable person, if anything he is a victim of the Left's unwillingness to fight HIV/AIDS in an politically incorrect fashion. (IE. Banning Homosexual Men and IV drug users from donating blood or quarenting HIV positive infected persons)
