AIDS

If you have liberal friends, by now you've probably gotten this video emailed to you.

In it, a professional actor playing the role of a doctor explains his reason for voting Republican: "I don't want a cure for AIDS or breast cancer."

The liner notes helpfully explain:

The Bush administration has been more interested in promoting AIDS treatment in Africa (for the benefit of American pharmaceutical companies) than in assisting American citizens who have AIDS.  The administration has also withheld money from organizations in Africa that distribute condoms in attempts to control the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Because treating AIDS in Africa couldn't possibly be important or anything. An estimated 22.5 million people are HIV positive in Sub-Saharan Africa, and nearly 100 times more people died of AIDS-related illnesses in Africa than died in North America last year.
