There are two issues, that are completely seperate in my view.
First -
When you and others suggest that the paper he wrote in 1991 is the basis for your beliefs that Holsinger should not be the surgeon general itmakes me want to read what he wrote. I did not detect moral judgment in his tone, nor did I get the impression he wrote anything that was not accurate at the time.
Second-
Bush is a "family values" (whatever that means, because there are contradictions that I acknowledge) President. He is going to nominate "family values" people. That is his right as our elected President. The assumption that you make that a person "biased against homosexuals" is actually going to negatively affect that population is a stretch and is unfair. There are many people who can look beyond their biases and do what is right by all the people they serve. Biases should not be feared they should be discussed and put on the table so people can deal with them.
