As if we are not isolated already... Being open and honest about my condition that was not contracted by drugs or promiscuous sex.... Isolates me from everything... I am afraid to work most jobs because someone is always trying to hook up with me... I disclose and suddenly there are rumours flying everywhere. I get discrimintated by individuals and health organizations as having some horrid drug history. (I did missionary work in Africa by the way... how would huckabee broach that?)
It's very disturing when a politian will look back and realize he said something wrong and does not retract knowing full well that he was wrong in his statement. Knowing that full well when he made the statement hiv/aids could not be contracted by casual contact. It's just his stupidity of being morally better than others purely...how outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was very disheartened to hear Huckabee's comments, particularly since he made them at least 7 years after it was clearly known that HIV couldn't be casually transmitted. I believe he was pandering to a particular segment of society that was and probably is still a significant part of his "base." The only other explanation would be that he's an incredibly stupid man. When it comes to dealing with AIDS-related issues, the entire presidential field is sorely lacking in courage and honesty.
What a surprise, an ignorant hillbilly running his mouth and running for the highest office in the land. Huckleberry should be fenced in like a mad dog. I've seen more loving and caring people living lives of dignity with Hiv than the whole lot of evengelicals put together. Evengelical seems like a fancy way of saying evilangels. God I hope this buffoon is shown for the ignorant bigot that he is, lets move on to more important conversations like finding a cure. Peace
I have HIV and I'm also a gay LDS (Mormon). I think Mike Huckabee has some problems, And he should not be running for office of the president. An ignorant Mormonphobe and homophobe to say the least that has a history of not thinking before opening his mouth, and seems to think scare tactics are the best means to get his way and get weak minded religiious fanatics to follow him and give him their votes. His comments remind me of Lyndon Larouche back in the 1980's who went absolutely nowhere.
Mike Huckabee is as backward as his buck teeth show him to be. He has that Holier than Thou Souther Baptist attitude. I think a little education would serve him well. He has spent too much time asking for and accepting gifts that educating himself on lifes real issues.
THROW THE BUM OUT!!!

It is just another Egomaniac that cannot admit his short comings and be a grown up man. Does this happen to remind anyone of Baby Bush in office now? We do not need another Ego we need a true leader that has the ability to lead with caring and compassion. Thank You and yes it would be a cold day in hell before I would vote for such a poor excuse of a man to lead any country!!
