		<description>with the evidence of fraudulent research on hiv including the original paper linking hiv with immune system decline - see the evidence at fearoftheinvisible dot com - any funding towards hiv education, prevention and treatment should be reconsidered. the hiv test is cross-reactive to flu shots according to a 2006 New England Journal of Medicine report. the hiv test only identifies the presence of 2, 3 or 4 proteins for a positive result depending on which country one tests in and many conditions will cause the body to produce those proteins including drug use, pregnancy and tuberculosis among others. donald rumsfeld was chairman of top selling hiv drug company gilead sciences and continues to profit to this day from hiv drugs that are based on fraudulent research. i took hiv drugs for 11 years until 2 years ago when i got high speed internet and saw information i had not seen before, i will never take hiv drugs again. for more information please visit youtube/hivquestions (and healing alternatives) and please pray for all those who have been misdiagnosed with hiv and AIDS.</description>

Something that will raise your IQ to a level where you see how badly you humiliater yourself. You can notice everyone averting their eyes from your sad and pathetica presence. I am embarassed to be the same species as anyone as stupid and pathetic as you. The attention you are getting is nothing but pity. All sentient beings pity you already. Stop already. It is just so sad</description>

		<description>glezzery, there is nothing in the Economic Recovery package for ACORN. See &lt;a href=&quot;http://mediamatters.org/items/200901280027&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Media Matters&#039; summary today&lt;/a&gt; of how bad the media&#039;s coverage of this bill has been lately - including the San Francisco Chronicle, followed by Rush Limbaugh promoting the lie about ACORN funding in the bill. The funding is about redeveloping neighborhood homes that have been abandoned or foreclosed, nothing whatsoever to do with ACORN.</description>

		<description>So I&#039;m paying for Bill Maher &amp; his sle@sy gir1friends to help prevent them from getting stds?  That means more of Maher&#039;s rubberz plugging up pumps at the wastwater treatment facilities costing us thousands of more taxpayer dollars to remove with full body suits (I saw this happen at a wastewater treatment tour for a college class...worker said it happens all the time costing taxpayers thousands each time). Rubberz then end up in a landfill taking thousands or millions of years to degrade due to non-biodegradable materials.  What about making a red-light district on the Web with it ending in .xx# or beginning with http://xx#. ?  I know they tried once...but this kind of $ could make it pass through.  Internet sle@ze truly damages the economy.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m all about STD prevention, helping poor people with contraceptives, etc.  But now is not the time to throw this BS into an ECONOMIC STIMULUS bill.  Especially with a RECORD BUDGET DEFICIT.  This is rediculous.  We act like we can afford this.  

Let&#039;s focus on the main objective of this bill, which is IMMEDIATE ECONOMIC STIMULUS.  Let&#039;s get ourselves out of this hole first, then we&#039;ll have plenty of time in the next four years minimum to slide in more pork spending to &quot;save the world&quot;.</description>

Pathetic, but what can you expect from a democrap. Also, ROTFL at oblahblah not even being able to open up a window.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, you&#039;re easily amused.  I couldn&#039;t help but notice that you&#039;ve adopted the Newt Gingrich style of &quot;debate&quot; by using the word &quot;pathetic&quot;.  That was one of the words he told his &quot;GOPAC Students&quot; (fellow Republicans) to use against as a pejorative their opponents.

It&#039;s interesting that you don&#039;t know what it means, because you think it&#039;s an excuse to laugh at someone, instead of a reason to feel pity for them.  But you don&#039;t have feelings, do you?

You also like to ridicule people who are your intellectual superiors.  That is also very telling.  Almost pathetic, even.  Almost.</description>

		<description>Anything that does not put money into the pockets of the wealthy will not get the approval of the GOP.  They are not interested in preventative reforms being passed whether it is in an economic recovery bill or not. You can stick this in the health care reform bill and they still would not agree with it. 

Repubs can&#039;t/won&#039;t admit that infrastructure spending is a good way to jump start the economy.  Because frankly it does not put money in their pockets.  All it will do is ...PUT PEOPLE TO WORK!!  And improve the badly deteriorated infrastructure that needs major repairs.</description>

		<description>All of this proposed (and formerly proposed) spending on stds prevention and family-planning/contraception is fine and necessary for the country, but in an overhaul of our national health care system, not an economic stimulus package.  

Congress as a whole should have a say in the appropriations process what kind of changes to Medicaid (the family planning money) and other pressing health expenses should become law. Whatever democrats thought these health-care related expenditures in the Recovery bill would sail through Congress without any debate are making a big mistake and I hope it doesn&#039;t ruin the type of bipartisan support President Obama was looking for in the votes for this legislation.  Funding for renovating the National Mall is one thing, but these are needless controversies.  

The dems better stick to (and ask for more) infrastructure and education spending (pell grants especially), tax relief for the middle class, small business and limited big business (to make republicans happy) and that&#039;s it. But I&#039;m afraid this Recovery Act&#039;s going to balloon up to $900 billion and put us in an $800 billion deficit over 10 years that will come back to haunt us. I hope I&#039;m wrong, but you know how Congress works.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;RaptureReady Says: 

I will only support this provision, if it informs kids and young adults about abstinence. 

I would assume that everybody already knows about abstinence.  That&#039;s not &quot;information.&quot;

.

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;RaptureReady Says: 

If it relays information about safe sex (Before marriage) then I believe that most people should be against it.&lt;/em&gt;

OK, that&#039;s twelve kinds of retarded right there.  I don&#039;t even know how to read that.  Are you saying you believe that most people would be against it, or are you issuing an order from on high? 

And are you saying it would be OK to have a comprehensive sex education program in which all the examples are married and then just hope they don&#039;t figured out that those methods also work for unmarried people too?  

There&#039;s no reason to think that such a program is more worthy of funding than any other.  None.  Not even on religious grounds.  You are a crazy person.

.

&lt;em&gt;Dynamo Says: 

Obama looks like a compete idiot trying to open a window at the oval office. &lt;/em&gt;

I saw that picture.  Looks like a door to me.  Would probably look like a door to you.

You know, I&#039;ve noticed that cons fail to apply the &quot;reasonable person mistake&quot; standard when making fun of Obama for getting something wrong.  I got into it for a bit with a few of y&#039;all over at AceOfSpadesHQ the other day, and they were screaming that Obama was an idiot for missing the 43rd/44th President thing.  And also that he was a drooling imbecile for idly asking (at Mount Rushmore) how they got people up there to film &quot;North by Northwest&quot; (answer: it was faked on a set).  

Now, I wouldn&#039;t have known either of those, and neither would anybody I know, and neither would you, and neither would anybody you know.  But they tend to take that as justification to scream that he&#039;s actually as dumb as Bush.  The difference is that Bush screws up things (like the English language) that most people don&#039;t have a problem with.  Obama occasionally gets things wrong that any reasonable person might get wrong.  And frankly, he makes fewer mistakes than most people I&#039;ve heard of.

We&#039;re not the ones expecting him to be perfect.

&lt;em&gt;barack obomber Says: 

look at the 5 billion to acron!!! what a joke. &lt;/em&gt;

Where?  I&#039;m looking...

.

&lt;em&gt;LushInterior Says: 

Logic has been lost on this subject…..this should be the equation………more STD’s = need for more health care = greater chance of National health care. &lt;/em&gt;

Thanks for the tip for getting an agenda passed.  We don&#039;t work that way, because we&#039;re not evil bastards like y&#039;all.</description>

		<description>Jane, happy to see you!  I was just thinking the other day that while we&#039;ve seen Wayne, I hadn&#039;t seen anything from you in what seems like ages!

I saw Issa on Matthews too, and I love his &quot;just like prison inmates, we&#039;ve learned our lessons and can now we can be believed&quot; shtick.  I honestly laughed at how ridiculous these clowns are, but at the same time am f&#039;ing pissed that they are getting so much air time. 

Geez, Obama just finished Day 8 of his presidency and the only ones on teevee are GOP trolls.  

PEACE</description>

		<description>Ok.  I&#039;ve got to accept that some groups see fertility control devices as immoral.  

But what group stands up and says STDs are a good thing ?  (other than the anti-gardiasil group who says that it will promote promiscuity) ?</description>

		<description>LushInterior, I would say that your type will keep our national health care system busy for a while, what with all the mental care you obviously need.</description>
