I don't think this is a bad thing. Why should millions of infants and children suffer? Dubya is a compassionate conservative, IMHO.

I agree. This is a crisis. Not one of those lib fabricated ones. It's the right thing to do and make sure the money is used for what it is meant to be used for. Beats wasting money in the fed trash heap.

This is great. After this I am sure he intends to send aid to Eastern Europe to help fight the aids epidemic there too.

I would suggest that millions of suffering children and families are affected by the actions of various family members that acted in an irresponsible manner. How can responsibility be transferred to distant third parties without providing an object lesson in the consequences of their actions? It is a virtue to be compassionate in a beneficial way, but a vice to be stupid in a compassionate way and to encourage further irresponsibility.

I don't know that Bush is a substitute for God, but I do know that following the Godly ten commandments pretty well eliminates the problem of AIDs/HIV. The only exception where innocent victims are affected has been through contaminated blood supplies and health workers exposed in the care of AIDs patients. I certainly have no objection to helping this type of victims. We have enough irresponsibility in this country through our various welfare programs without exporting it to Africa.

"Dubya is a compassionate conservative, IMHO."

No, in this instance Dubya is a liberal.
Giving money to Africa is pouring it down a gopher hole, and it will achieve the same result - none.
I've lived there and worked there for many years, which is something that GW and his advisors have not done.

It is NOT his money! It is easy to be compassionate with money confiscated from someone else, if you haven't noticed it is always "FOR THE CHILDREN!" Somehow the money never gets to "The Children," it always seems to end up in the pockets of corrupt thugs.

Been to nursing home lately, annie?

Most of the folks there are wandering around in the world of Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia. How much is our compassionate conservative President spending on that tragedy?

What's that? These poor old folks don't vote? Well, Shrub can spend 10 time 15 billion and he won't make a dent in the black vote.

Bushies make me laugh/cry when they claim he's not a politician.

Wow, so many anarchists we have here. :-)
