Bitch-Slapping Huckabee With His Own Words, Part II

In the same article where he called AIDS a "deadly disease for which there is no cure" and referenced here, Mike Huckabee said that "In light of the extraordinary funds already being given for AIDS research, it does not seem that additional federal spending can be justified...An alternative would be to request that multimillionaire celebrities, such as Elizabeth Taylor (,) Madonna and others who are pushing for more AIDS funding be encouraged to give out of their own personal treasuries increased amounts for AIDS research."

Hey, I have an idea Mike, how about anyone who voted for Bush in either election get sent the bill for the Iraq war and the rest of us, the sane ones, not pay a penny? Or maybe Mike, the bill should only be paid by the multimillionaire Republicans, like yourself, who supported and aided and abetted the cause of Bush's personal war. Yeah, that seems fair to me.

I think this guy is just one loathsome idea after another. The Los Angeles Times did a front page story Saturday on how Huckabee has been unable to separate his personal belief system from governing and what problems that has caused in the past (more on this later). Some have noted that the AIDS quotes are from 1992 and so Huckabee should be given a pass on them, but that is a bunch of crap. It is absolutely irrelevant when the quotes were made since what he said is so repugnant.
