I agree with Huckabee on all three statements...it’s the elephant in the room. A lot of folks are thinking the same thing but no one has been willing to say so.

If they had done it in 1981, when the disease was first identified, it might have worked, but by 1992 it was way too late. I remember reading once that Castro quarantined AIDS sufferers, but I don't know if Cuba has continued to do so. Obviously gays have too much political clout in this country for something like that to be implemented, and not even the imprimatur of Uncle Fidel would cause Democrats to support the idea.
