Over 1 million people are infected with HIV in the US with 40,000 new inefections occuring every single year.
This type of ignorance of reality is the shovel Republicans are using to dig their hole even deeper. The compassionate conservatives, the fiscally responsible conservatives and the rational conservatives have left the party.
what kind of an idiot doesn’t want to treat a dangerous communicable disease?!? Not treating cancer would be smarter than this.
But I think this is only the tip of the verbal gaffe iceberg for Colorado Republicans this year. Expect this weekly, if not daily during session. Morons like Ray Rose have to figure out “creative” ways to rattle the cages of the Republican base even if it means completely discounting the “lifestyles” of an entire African continent.
is cancer a “lifestyle” disease? I mean, smoking is a lifestyle choice….
What about diabetes?
Heart disease?
Asthma?
Rose is an idiot…..look for him to go far in the Republican Party.
with the assorted morons of the Republican party. The Dobson listeners, etc. I read in the paper recently that that “Haggard was not a hypocrite, he just needs exorcism.” This man has a PhD? Rose probably listens to him, whatcha wanna bet?
….whether Gayle Haggard has gone for an HIV since the sacandal about Ted’s visits to that “dark and repulsive place” broke?
Let’s all hope and/or pray that it comes back negative, but if the worst did occur and she tested positive, at least as a U.S. citizen, she would be able to get the appropriate meds.
God help her if she were a foreigner, and Ray Rose had his way…….
After 25 years of calling HIV/AIDS “God’s revenge,” I supposed calling it a “lifestyle disease” is some degree of progress.
While we’re cutting funding for treatment for one “lifestyle disease,” what about those other lifestyle diseases?
How about no more spending on cardiovascular illnesses (i.e., heart attacks and strokes) for people who eat red meat, respiratory illnesses (i.e., lung cancer, emphezeyma, etc.) for people who inhale smoke or other dirty air, or liver ailments (for people who drink alcohol or use IV drugs)?
To borrow a phrase from Janet Rowland, “Where do we draw the line?”
for wingnuts.
And they do breed faster than libs, so this might be necessary to prevent, not Martians from taking over, but Iggarants.
I see where the fundies in Kenya are thumping to move the pre-human artifacts of Leaky, et al, to a back room so that their beliefs aren’t threatened.
ROFLMAO re: the fundies in Kenya and the Leaky exhibit! Fundamentalists are living proof that evolution runs in two directions!
And what would he say about the “lifestyle” of children with HIV/AIDS? I don’t really want to know.
Good thing they quoted Buescher, or their article would have had only 5 Republicans’ quotes.
Shorter Ray Rose: “Some people deserve to die.”
I distinctly remember that sen. Ron Teck, R-Grand Junction, ran a bill last seesion or so, to deny state medical care for smokers who end up with lung cancer – died in the first committee, of course
