I Don't Heart Huckabee

Wow. Mike Huckabee is standing by his statement from 1990 about people living with HIV and AIDS. He told the Associated Press that "we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague." Bodhi is just curious, who would've taken care of the babies and small children who were HIV positive? What about the people who looked healthy? Would there have been mandatory testing for high risk groups? Who would've paid for that? What if people refused to be tested...would they be jailed? And who would pay for all the new jails we would have to build to imprison people who refused mandatory testing?
You know, we've had seven years of "leadership" from a man with small, ignorant, and hateful views. Bodhi really doesn't want to go down this road again.
