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.

“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.....”

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.

It’s a stimulus to reverse the effects of the previous stimulus.

My Daddy used to tell me that this simple device was cheap and 100% effective when properly used:

For some strange reason, I took his advice and Mrs. Vigilanteman and I have never had an STD as a result.

Get Barney Frank and X42 to co-chair the program. If you have to have bad government it should at least be entertaining.

Now i know this stimulus plan is a crock. It was never meant to help the economy. It is meant to payback political donors and such.

I agree with Rush. Give us the 46% of the money for tax cuts.

I can prevent STDs for 25 cents.
