"Misspoke" my ass. She changed the subject to HIV/AIDS, she didn't "accidentally" reference the wrong disease.

She was talking about Nancy Reagan legacy in the 80's, yet you are turning it into a whatever. Alzheimer and aids are worth talking about. What seems to be the problem?

This is unbelievable! Nancy Raygun along with Ronnie kept their mouths shut, and their actions nill, while hundreds of thousands of folks died from AIDS, and Clinton denies it.
That's it, she has lost ALL credibility with me. She could run for garbage truck driver, and she would NEVER EVER get my vote.

You see, my younger brother died from AIDS in the mid 80s. Had Raygun and those bastards not called it a "gay cancer," and refused to fund early research, my brother may have been alive today.
Anyone who denies the facts, shall NEVER EVER get my vote!

She introduced the subject and tells a story that is integrated and cohesive--about how "difficult" it was for many people to talk about HIV in the 1980s and how the Reagans courageously advocated for the disease--and is entirely false. You cannot tell the paragraph-long story she tells without making a conscious effort to lie. This is not mistaking one disease for another or using a wrong word or phrase. It's lying, pure and simple.

I was in my late teens when the AIDS crisis broke. I remember how the Reagans either said nothing or exhibited a dismissive, even contemptious, attitude toward those who suffered. It is impossible for me to believe that anyone who was alive during that time and was even halfway interested in politics could accidentally tell the absurd story Hillary Clinton told.

I was 26 years old when Reagan took office. I remember the Reagan SILENCE when AIDS struck.
Hillary is a fucking liar. This is unforgivable. I lost several friends to AIDS in the 1980's while the
Reagan's did NOTHING.

I'm sorry, I wasn't comatose during the reagan years, nor was I afk during the years after. This woman was a witch. She was a vile, nasty bitch, and she had ronnie-boy by the nuts. I was disgusted with her character then, I was disgusted with her AFTER he began to suffer from alzheimers, and she gets NO credit nor sympathy from me for supporting alzheimer research once her precious came down with the disease.

She was instrumental in seeing thousands of young men and women go to prison for possession of marijuana with her ridiculous "war on drugs", and her simpleton "just say no" bull shit remedy to the drug problem. She, and her ilk, set this country back fifty years with that dumb ass idea, and those young men and women who lost their freedom and were incarcerated because of her nonsense, bull shit pet project will NEVER get those years back again. Their lives were ruined...thanks to this feeble, selfish bitch first lady.

To play her up as some "saint" makes me want to vomit, and to listen to hrc talk such nonsense and put on the solemn, sympathy face makes me dislike her even more.

There...I got that off my chest. Thanks
