The very last thing that anyone, especially in the broader world would ever pay attention to is is moralistic advice from the most notoious murderer of the century. Kind of like having Vlad the impaler tell you to douche more often.

From the article: the program requires that 1/3 of the money goes to "abstinence education". The democrats want to remove this requirement, and idiot says he won't sign if they do.

I have so much hate for this man.

He's certainly a thing worthy of hatred. I have long ago been unable to even look at his murderous pus without blood boiling out of my ears.

I'm certain that our dim Democrates put an abstinence bill through for American schools and added money even though statistics show It does no good at all!

Shane, I hope you don't mind if I used your Vlad-douche comment myself, although it might be hard to work it into conversation. But may I try?

That said, y'know who also promoted abstinence education? Bill Clinton. No, I'm not making that up.

Yes, the abstinence clause is ridiculous and harmful. But he has put way more money into international AIDS efforts than Clinton ever did. Facts is facts.

HKG, just because he throws money at something is a meaningless fact if the money is tied to a nonsense requirement. A third of his "contribution" needs to be discounted out of hand.

There is really nothing that Bush cound do to improve his scandelous, perverse record. It is well established not only here in America, but certainly in Africa, that no matter how much money he thows at an abstenance program, it will just be more down the tube. Do you think that those poor frightened despirate people are going to heed a murderer like him. He has wasted an incredible amount of money which will probably go to American private companies to waste.
Consider his other great expenditures: Iraq;
helped noone but Exxon/Mobile, Halburton, and Blackwater-all private companies. His Medicare part D, costs 800 million a year whichall goes to insurance and drug companies and costs people as much as they ever had to pay, only it goes to huge corporations.

Put your thinking caps on folks: he was elected!

emb: agreed, but even 2/3 of the money is way more than Clinton ever spent. Look, I think he's a horror, but I insist on pointing out this one fact. Clinton has more blood on his hands when it comes to AIDS overseas (not here, heaven knows - Bush keeps freezing Ryan White) than Bush does. And Bush deserves backhanded praise for releasing money to international AIDS efforts. If he got rid of the abstinence, he'd actually do some real good!

He was elected? Now you lost me.

point well taken, Prof. Well, what if whatever happened to make him press and kept him there occurred with a rabid chimp( about the same).
Yes, I suppose that Americans would
let him piss on and throw shit all over US.

Something is very very systemically wrong when that can happen, don't ya think?

Can you imagine any civilized democratic country in the world where an imbecile like that could be in power?(note) In any other place free people wouldn't tolerate that after Hitler, franco and The Fascist crowd that fucked up Europe, they know better.
