1. So the point of your post is that AIDS wasn't high on HRC's list of priorities?

The ability of some people to look past reality to support individuals in whatever they do, no matter how wrong, is amazing to me.

Nancy Reagan and her husband did NOTHING for AIDS victims. What part of that FACT is hard to grasp, except for the fact itself?

Obama had no need for health care reform himself. That didn't stop him from trying to wrestle some coverage for millions of people in the face of absolute opposition from many quarters. That is leadership. The Reagan response to AIDS, by ignoring and laughing at the topic while millions were infected and unknown numbers died, is cold, callous disregard for people based on their sexual identity.

How could anyone who lived through that not know that? Certainly the Clinton FOUNDATION has done good work on a global basis. How does that excuse lying in public about Nancy Reagan's history in regard to all those dead?
