Huckabee - 1992 - "AIDS Plague - Must Be Quarantined"
Boy this should be good, can’t wait to hear how he spins this one:
As a candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in 1992, Huckabee answered 229 questions submitted to him by The Associated Press. Besides a quarantine, Huckabee suggested that Hollywood celebrities fund AIDS research from their own pockets, rather than federal health agencies.
"If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague," Huckabee wrote.
"It is difficult to understand the public policy towards AIDS. It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population, and in which this deadly disease for which there is no cure is being treated as a civil rights issue instead of the true health crisis it represents."
…………………………………….
When asked about AIDS research in 1992, Huckabee complained that AIDS research received an unfair share of federal dollars when compared to cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
"In light of the extraordinary funds already being given for AIDS research, it does not seem that additional federal spending can be justified," Huckabee wrote. "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."

An interesting thing about AIDS - It was not discovered by a clinical study. It wasn't ever diagnosed until after it was declared to exist. What people call AIDS is actually a very broad spectrum of diseases and disorders. It's a category, a type of disease, not a disease itself. As such, they is no way to make a "vaccine against AIDS" any more than a flu vaccine can cure the common cold. And if there were such a miracle vaccine, it would have to work by making the recipient immune to *all* diseases! The real kicker about AIDS, is it was invented by a committee; The actual number of people with AIDS, given it's usually lethal nature and incurable status, drops every year. The only reason the number of AIDS cases keeps climbing each year is because that committee keeps classifying new diseases into the AIDS category (that were not previously considered to be AIDS). HIV causes AIDS you say? Well, what about all those dozens of diseases that used to be classified as being AIDS, but are now in their own category, due to them having every symptom of AIDS, *except* the people who have them don't now, and never have had HIV? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it *must* be an egret!
