No, of course not.

We each get a dollar's worth of annoying commercials, and cucumber demonstrations in school.

I’m sure that Bawney Fag has many STD’s, but thats a lot of money even for him.

This “stimulus” bill is an atrocity. The only thing it stimulates is the growth of government. Hussein Obama, Pelosi, Bawney Fag, and Dingy Harry are literally stealing money out of our pockets. Either the taxpayers pick up the tab for this nonsense, or the govt prints so much money that our dollar becomes worthless.

Civil War II. We need to overthrow these corrupt bastards and take our country back.

well, you don’t expect them to promote casual sex via contraception and then not cure the diseases that are caused by casual sex, now do you? That would be irresponsible.....

The bailout ought go to alternative energy R&D,
new weapons and psyops systems, and the American
taxpayers. But it will go to Frank, Dodd, Pelosi and ACORN.

$355,000,000 for STD prevention? It’s not the economy they are looking to stimulate.

Clinics during the 90s were given a lot of money for the prevention of AIDS. As I recall, that plan backfired. Promiscous people were being encouraged to be promiscuos by the staffs at these clinics.

Moderate and conservative DemocRats would probably object to a lot of the crap in this bill.... but I’m sure all of those people for change don’t have a clue as to what’s in it. What about all those blue collar white guys in PA and OH hoping for jobs? They should have listened to Joe the Plumber.

I am reserved to the idea that the Democrats will do what they do best. Squander the money and waste 90% of it on their favorite Socialist schemes.

After the dust settles, and the economy, the country and energy production is terminally ill, maybe the public will tear themselves away from their big screen TV’s, Oprah and American Idol long enough to figure it out.

Well, at least with Gitmo shut down and most of those terrorists back leading their local cells again, it won't be long before we are hit hard again by an attack that will make 9/11 look like a yard sale.

Gas prices will go over $5 again soon and the money for more electrical will be wasted and gone on more “pixie dust” projects like wind and solar.

The Democrats won't be able to blame Conservatives on this one by any means, no matter what the MSM tries to spin.

Part of the bailout money is going to Obama’s reelection fund (via ACORN).

Ways to stop STDs 1) gals keep your legs shut 2) Boys, keep it zipped up. 3) If you must do it, use protection.

What is this fascination with STDs? Do all dems have herpes or the clap?

Is that what separates dems from conservatives?

Hmm... This would be the opposite of Pelosi’s birth control argument. In some cases STD’s can be fatal and thus meaning less people to worry about. From a liberal mind it would make more sense to not fund it and fund abortions making it all equal for everybody.

I wish these people would stop calling this a economic stimulus bill because it is certainly not one.

$335,000,000 FOR STD PREVENTION IN ECONOMIC STIMULUS BILL
Wed Jan 28 2009 09:58:30 ET

Democrats may have eliminated provisions on birth control and sod for the National Mall in the “job stimulus” — but buried on page 147 of the bill is stimulation for prevention of sexually transmitted diseases!

The House Democrats’ bill includes $335 million for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

In the past, the CDC has used STD education funding for programs that many Members of Congress find objectionable and arguably unrelated to a mission of economic stimulus [such as funding events called ‘Booty Call’ and ‘Great Sex’ put on by an organization that received $698,000 in government funds.]

“Whether this funding has merit is not the question; the point is it has no business in an economic plan supposedly focused on job creation,” says a stimulated Hill source.

And don’t forget about the unwanted babies when the government funded contraception fails. Nancy says we need to prevent them from being born.
That cuts costs y’know.
