Liddy Dole wants to name AIDS bill for homophobe Helms?!
Jesse Helms, the man who in 1987 described AIDS prevention literature as "so obscene, so revolting, I may throw up."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 1988 vigorously opposed the Kennedy-Hatch AIDS research bill, saying, "There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 1995 said (in opposition to refunding the Ryan White Act) that the government should spend less on people with AIDS because they got sick due to their "deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 2002 announced that he'd changed his mind about AIDS funding for Africa, but not for American gays, because homosexuality "is the primary cause of the doubling and redoubling of AIDS cases in the United States." HuffPost

It's outrageous. Maybe they should name giant condoms--bigger than Magnums--after Helms. Or better yet, call it the ACT-UP/Helms Condom.

6. Today I could use the C word.
But I won't because I am a gentleman.

But, any possible goodwill that I might have ever had for this woman is gone.

May she spend the rest of her life and eternity servicing Bob Dole's Viagraic penis.

Viagraic? I like that word.

11. Maybe next will be the Adolf Hitler Holocost Museam
Once Jim Neal lost I didn't think I would be all that excited about this race, but now, I would literally crawl over broken glass that was treated with BenGay to vote against this horrible woman.
