The gays turned AIDS into a social disease. It was never treated like a sexually transmitted disease. Names were withheld and partners were not tracked. If you want to blame anyone, you should blame the gay activists for turning the disease into a social statement rather than a disease to be erradicated.

Everytime a Republican is in the whitehouse, the AIDS activists say the Republicans are not spending enough money on the problem. Clinton was in for eight years and all of a sudden the activists were quiet. Now it is the Republicans fault again.

Clinton has been directly linked to the tainted blood scandal when he was governor of Arkansaw. If you want to research the subject, there have been plenty of Freeper threads over the years on this scandal with documentation.

An immediate quarantine of all homosexuals and I.V. drug users could have stopped the spread, but good luck getting THAT one passed! They even now refuse to acknowledge that it is a BEHAVIORALLY spread disease.

AIDS is a 99.9% preventable disease and could have been stopped in its tracks, regardless of who the president was, with a simple change in behavior. By and large, the gay community wanted to blame others for the predicament that it put itself into -- not to say that anyone "deserves" the disease, but neither can you blame others for your own high-risk behavior. This is why Africa is an AIDS-doomed mess. They all know about condoms. They just don't want to use them.
