Rep. William E. Dannemeyer’s Plan for AIDS Victims
After reading the accounts of Dannemeyer’s ravings about the menace posed by homosexuals and AIDS, and having lived in the congressman’s district for a few years, I conclude that these reports reflect not only on him--the man has made no secret of his neo-Neanderthal views on life and mores--but also on the constituency that keeps sending such irresponsible Republican “looney tunes” to the government bodies designed to represent these constituents’ views.
As long as Orange County Republican voters choose to be represented by such a low caliber of politicians, they will keep getting the short end of the stick in the execution of government policy. Quality of government is more important than quantity, and a government promising to do less can still cause a lot of damage.
Orange County gets what it votes for!
