Bush to help end AIDS.........In Africa

[BearDown]

Over the next 5 years George Bush wants to double what the US tax payers are already paying to fight AIDS world wide. From 15 Billion to 30 Billion. Again, when we do something for another Country it's called being a good American. When we want to do something for the people of our own Country it's called liberal welfare.

Clinton urges sweeping action on AIDS
By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, Associated Press Writer




LAKE FOREST, Calif. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton used an appearance at one of the nation's largest evangelical churches Thursday to sketch a broad agenda to take on disease around the globe, calling it "the right thing to do."


The centerpiece of a speech laced with Biblical references and reflections on her own faith was a call to spend billions of dollars to combat HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases at home and abroad. She said she would try to stamp out malaria deaths in Africa within eight years.

Money and government alone cannot solve the problems, she said. AIDS "is a problem of our common humanity, and we are called to respond with love, with mercy and with urgency," she said.

With the presidential campaign intensifying in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Clinton was alone among leading candidates to fly to coastal California to appear at Saddleback Church in Orange County, where pastor and best-selling author Rick Warren convenes a conference each year to highlight the global threat posed by HIV/AIDS.

Earlier this week Clinton released her proposal to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS, which focuses in part on fighting the spread of the illness in minority communities. As president, she would double the HIV/AIDS research budget at the National Institutes of Health — to $5.2 billion annually — and spend at least $50 billion within five years around the globe.

On Thursday, speaking to about 1,700 conference attendees, she said as president she would also call for spending $1 billion a year to address malaria infection in Africa. She set a goal of eradicating malaria deaths in Africa by the end of her second term.

Many Christian conservatives dread the possibility of another Clinton White House, a point of agreement in a year when prominent leaders in the movement have divided their loyalties among GOP contenders.

No, I was just pointing out that Dems want the money to go out too. Some have painted it as "buying love". I agree 100% with the take care of your own first. There's AIDS here too! Would rather see the money put towards stem-cell research myself.
