Christine O’Donnell Says AIDS Gets Too Much Government Money?

Christine O'Donnell has a problem with other people's sex lives.

O'Donnell is the Tea Party-backed candidate from Delaware who swept away GOP favorite Mike Castle to win the Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Now that she is that much closer to reaching Congress her views on sex, gay or straight, have taken center stage.

O'Donnell, who founded a Christian group that promoted monogamy and no sex until marriage, has commented in the past on AIDS funding, saying that the government spends too much money on AIDS programs that promote a risky lifestyle rather than prevent it.

“A lot of the money that we’re spending goes to things that we know will not prevent AIDS, but indeed will continue to spread the disease,” she said in a C-SPAN interview. “A lot of our money goes to distribute condoms in high schools, and a lot of our money goes to distribute material that is literally pornographic.”

The Delaware native is also opposed to masturbation.

According to O'Donnell, the Bible says "lusting in your heart" is the same as committing adultery and, as O'Donnell said in a past MTV interview, "You can't masturbate without lust."

    This is laughable I would like to thank the moron Rachel Maddow. I was waiting for this one SodaHead News, whatever your are. LOL I LOVE IT.

    The Liberal Media feels the need to almost dig into this young lady's diary trying to dig up dirt and instead found conservative gold.


    Let's see can Rachel of the one who wrote this eloquent (loosely put) piece give an exact date other that "THE 90's" when a very young Christine O'Donnell spoke in this video?

    Are you hiding the date because maybe she was really young when she said this. G'damned pucking idiots.

    Thank you. You have just showed a beautiful young lady, Christine O'Donnell making adorable comments in her youth and substantiating her moral values at a very young age.

    Barack Obama can not or will not produce his academic records for us to see, but you Liberal Idiots see it fit to almost go into a teenagers school notes book.

    What next? Conservatives will have to produce their Elementary School records too.

    Give me a pucking break

    AGAIN:
    The Liberal Media feels the need to almost dig into this young lady's diary trying to dig up dirt and instead found conservative gold.

    Great piece, thank you for the gift.

    Whether or not she would consider this as a form for government policy or not it does beggar two questions from my perspective- if this is a widely held opinion.
    What treatment would be available for those unfortunates born with the AIDS virus?
    If it's accepted that AIDS is a 'self inflicted' illness through promiscuity, would it be advocated that research into other 'self inflicted' illnesses- such as anorexia, or those drink/ drug/ smoking, even the likes of asbestosis, be reduced or shelved?

    That fits with political capers. Interestingly. the concept does touch on a debate in the UK. Some doctors have questioned liver replacements for those who don't mend their drinking habits- and whether the NHS should foot the bll for those who binge drink when they injure themselves, and so forth.

    Is that like a form of rationing?
  • Lance Ed 2010/09/21 21:35:52
    Lance
    To a certain degree yes. With the likes of George Best the question was whether he should have organ replacements, only to pickle them again. Sort of fits into the category of illness- alcoholism.
    Binge drinking is being considered in a wider sphere, since it's more behavioural than George's problem. Last Christmas it was estimated that each admission cost the NHS something like £260 (not exact quote). I know that fights and alcohol often go hand in hand, but we had several nasty incidents with drunk girls attacking people for no reason- including at least one death: so there are social costs too.

    That's one reason I oppose Universal Health Insurance. Take an addict for example s/he chose to do the drugs, why should I pay through taxes if they themselves do not want to help themselves, go through treatment and back at it again. I much rather pay for my own insurance.
  • Lance Ed 2010/09/21 23:24:20
    Lance
    Quite agree. Of course the down side is that if you can't afford insurance (rather than don't want to), you can find yourself excluded.
    Straying slightly, but minimum wage here is £5.80/ hour. At perhaps 35 hours a week- £180+/- before tax- you would be lucky to find somewhere decent to rent, let alone buy insurance.
    My partner has often wondered how that works in the US. Curious, not trying to have a go as some might.

    You get discounts buying group policies instead of individual policies. In a large group, large company and employee may pay anywhere between $200 to $300 a month the employer would pay an additional 2 to 300/month. That has gone up recently since the new National Health care passed the private insurances went up and the coverage went down.

    The problem is we have an interstate commerce that does not allow sale of policies from one state to another limiting competition, if they allowed it premiums would go down, it would also eliminate the one size fits all policies and have them tailored to your needs, would also lower the costs, tort reform, limiting what lawyers can be awarded in law suits would also bring the price down. Another way to bring the price down in the US is allowing small businesses to group together, in other words buying policies in bulk so to speak.

    I used to think that spending so much money on AIDS research was a waste until I had a discussion about it with my daughter.

    And this is what you won't ever hear from the government: Most doctors believe It is only a matter of time before AIDS mutates into a virus that can be spread in ways other than bodily fluids.

    The reason no one says that is because the powers that be are afraid people with AIDS and/or HIV would be killed if this knowledge was common.

    I am not a virologist, however, from what I know of it, the potential for AIDS to mutate so that it can be spread by something other than bodily fluids is definitely there.

    I thought we could eradicate AIDS since we know how it is spread, however, the number of AIDS cases continues to grow.

    she's right having aids is not cool either what more masturbation is tough question should save it all to wife/husband instead you may call me old fashion but it is truth having sex with multiculturalism isn't smart all ladies should have close their legs period. it a huge waste of time having sex in between school and home. why not save it for marriage when get older and age wise than whore around and knew how to talk into guys quicker and more feeble and more acceptable..enough of weak ladies who thinking sex is fun but it not going to last forever. be smart and finish college and then get your own place and long run might bump into Mr. Right all along who know..Marriage is more of settle down than wild days. marriage is safe bet than wild days because marriage can last till old of age and feel worth it. being whore around isn't cool because lonely, talkative,practice sexual, friends of benefit etc list go on..what excuse for this? get up and start working and make your goal and go college this is how works than sexual around waste of time thinking of bunch of guys/ladies ...work your sweat out will work than thinking being sexual actives.

    While I may not agree with her, I will say she has the right to believe what she chooses like everyone else in this Nation. If that is all the media has to dig up, then they have a real problem. I see it as the typical mindless personal attacks. What I want to see from she and, all of the other canidates is how they plan on getting things under control as far as, the budget and, rampant government encroachment of the peoples rights.

    She's so freaking funny. I can't believe there are so many morons out there who would actually vote for her. Question. How many of the Tea Partiers had sex and got pregnant before marriage? People have sex and after all they have to have some type of comprehensive program to help decrease chances of spreading AIDS/HIV. Masturbation is a good way to reduce stress. Besides her thing with "lusting in your heart" is the same as committing adultery, maybe in Christianity where the idiots decided to make even your thoughts and emotions sins. In Judaism, we don't do that, its by actions.
  • Ed Vive le... 2010/09/18 19:15:28

    I'm sure what you meat to say "there are so many Americans out there who would actually vote for her." And calling Christians idiots, well I guess coming from you it doesn't really matter does it? In other words who cares, if that is your opinion.

    To answer your question about sex before marriage, as it applies to my first time, I was a single 12 year old when I had sex with a 36 year old woman. I played in Rock bands all my life I don't know how many times and how many girls and women I have had sex with. So what is your point.?

    You are as misinformed about the side of American that is sick and tired of Progressives ruining the country as the Progressive themselves.

    This is not about one issue so if I was to pick between a Mike Castle, Progressive Republican in bed with Harry Reid and a woman that had a good moral sense when she was a young girl, you bet I vote for her.

    The last perfect man was crucified. Like I said if that is the dirt the Progressives have dug up on this young girl, they for got to brush off the dirt and see the gold nugget they dug up. Because she did not only send a message to the Liberal Progressive but to the RINO's and the Progressive Republicans and it says "we don't want you and if you don't get out of the way, we will take you out of the way"

    I do not agree with her whatsoever.
    Masturbation is a good way to get in touch with your own body, orgasms are a good stress relief and they make you happier. Besides, who wants to be sexually frustrated? It's very uncomfortable and painful at times.

    I don't agree with telling children to deny their budding sexual feelings. If they want to masturbate, let them. They're not going out and having sex, which is a very adult decision. They're not contracting STDs, they're not getting pregnant or getting other people pregnant, they're exploring their own bodies. Waiting before marriage I can totally understand, but not even masturbating? Yeah, I don't agree with that one bit.

    I don't think we're spending too much on AIDS. People are dying from this and we're working on preventing it, and yes, that includes handing out condoms. I'm sorry all you uptight Christians who preach abstinence only... not every teen in the world is going to listen to you. Teenagers have raging hormones the majority of them are going to end up having sex before they get out of highschool, there is no use in denying it or trying to prevent it.

    I support educating kids on practicing safer sex, handing out condoms, and spending money on treating AIDS.

    So it is not appropriate to hold a personal view regarding masturbation in America. It is not appropriate for someone not to masturbate because it is what they believe. What happened to freedom of expression? Is it only free if it agrees with societal immorality? I love the media spin on this, she is a loon because she was faithful at a young age. Yes she has made mistakes financially, but hell so has the person running the IRS currently. How hypocritical the left is. If she was preaching for abortion on demand at the same age she would be heralded as a hero.

    I agree that purity is better than impurity.

    By the way ... was the host of that show a man or a woman? It seemed to be trying to be a man but it came across more as a woman. Sorry ... off topic.

    Apparently, O'Donnell was very young and struggling with the same questions that all young adults struggle with. It's good to know that some young folks realize that there are choices and that not all have to go down the road of a hooker or porn star. They can choose to be better than those things.

    I remember growing up as a Liberal being taught to ask "Why can't we [insert preferred sexual behavior here]." When I started taking responsibility for my life (ditching Liberalism), the question became "Why did we have these rules to begin with?" It seems that most all large cultural groups developed pretty much the same rules for sexual behavior so it can't be blamed on Christianity.

    It seems rather that biblical injunctions convey a subtle social wisdom that extends beyond the childish "Why can't I do what I want?" demand. Sexuality is the most dynamic human impulse and a society that can't make boundaries will soon find itself mired in narcissistic hedonism. Even with boundaries there will always be transgression but that's not a good reason to dispense with the cultural pressure that imposes limits.

    Just the idea that masturbation is selfish should be a clue as to the ideals of these young people. I say "bravo" to them for making a stand against behaviors that are indeed an insult to human dignity and the social fabric.

    These fundamentalist positions, though true to her religious beliefs, are not practical. Condoms do reduce the risk of transmitting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, as well as preventing pregnancy, but not in 100% of instances. There is nothing wrong with promoting abstinance until marriage, but in reality, young people do experiment with sexuality. With hormones raging, masturbation is the only way many will remain chaste until marriage!
