Why not just make it up as you go along? Nanny State? It is the responsibility of the government to manage epidemics; HIV/AIDS is an epidemic. Look at the NIH which has entire institutes dedicated to fighting specific diseases (e.g., cancer, eye, diabetes, heart). And that “nurse” who told you about the $500,000 figure . . you might want to do some research and demonstrate a more significant understanding yourself. Gays are not the leaders in AIDS. At present blacks are the leaders in U.S. HIV cases. Many of these are black men on the down-low who would hardly consider themselves gay, and the black women who are their sex partners. Finally the attack on democrats is just crazy — party affiliation has nothing to do with a virus.

Please – the man promised to be our “fierce advocate,” and had supermajorities in the House for his first two years. All he had to do was to deliver on what he promised. How many votes did he loose from progressive and liberals voters last week? He without question hurt his party. And don’t inject race into something where it is not there.

The main reason so many gay men vote for BIG GOVERNMENT is because they believe the gay lifestyle requires a big NANNY STATE.. Every year since the discovery of the HIV virus, gay men have led the USA in new infections. In fact. a nurse of 35 years told me that the average cost of government money to AIDS patients is $500,000 per patient’s lifetime – housing, utilities, food, medicine, MEDICAID, MEDICARE. The next time you go to a gay bar and joke about someone being a “whore”, think about what you are paying for…IDIOT DEMOCRATS !!!

It amaze me how folks can have such short memories.. All the stuff that LGBT community is fighting for is the same stuff that your beloved Clintons signed into LAW.. You guys give Clinton 8yrs in-spite of all his short comings.. When it comes to this Black President Obama in office for only 20months is a different story.

@ BMF and Similar – It is so obvious as to be unworthy of a response that “the community” with all of its multicultural diversity will use race against Hillary – as the gay/black community did in 2008. It is undeniable that Hillary has far move political experience than Obama. NObama was in the senate for all of 18 months before moving toward the 2008 nomination. In addition to being First Lady, something that I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss, Hillary by had by that time been a US Senator for eight years – eight years! Obama never wanted to be a senator; he began raising funds and lined up political media consultant David Axelrod as early as August 2002, long before he formally announced his candidacy in January 2003. He was sworn in as a senator in January 2005, simply as a stop-gap along his presidential campaign. He ran a masterful new media campaign, long on sound bites and very short on substance. So what do we have now, but a president without the experience and leadership skills for the job – a true failure to those he pretended to support – and that includes progressives and the LGBT community. There is an excellent piece by David Milbank on in today’s WashPo on “Would we be better off under a President Hillary Clinton?” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/05/AR2010110505214.html?hpid=opinionsbox1). My answer is a decidedly, yes!

@Chris – I notice that you are responding at 3:45 a.m.. You are either drunk or high — either way, you aren’t making any sense. Seek help, it’s out there for you.

@Chris – you responded to two of my posts. My reply to you for both of these is to STFU, twice. Can you do this, or are you challenged?

Race used against Hillary in the gay community? Please. Hillary had incredibly high unfavorable ratings among independents and Republicans. Obama was viewed much more favorably. And experience? Being first lady doesn’t qualify you to be president. And the one big thing Hillary did handle, health care reform, was a total disaster. And who was the unexperienced guy that actually managed to move the ball forward: Barack Obama.

Oh yeah, race is definitely an issue. The issue is that white people constantly ignore their own racial bias. As if gay people are “friendly” to ethnic minorities. You’re not going to find many gay people of color signing on to that notion.
