Dems reject amendment to ban Viagra for sex offenders
Democrats killed an amendment by Republican Sen. Tom Coburn to prevent the newly created insurance exchanges from using federal money to cover Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for rapists, pedophiles and other sex offenders. The amendment failed 57-42
"The vast majority of Americans don't want their taxpayer dollars paying for this kind of drug for those kind of people," Coburn said.
Democratic Sen. Max Baucus urged his colleagues to defeat the amendment.
"This is a serious bill. This is a serious debate. The amendment offered by the senator from Oklahoma makes a mockery of the Senate, the debate and the American people. It is not a serious amendment. It is a crass political stunt aimed at making 30-second commercials, not public policy," he said.
Democrats have defeated every amendment offered by Republicans so far, arguing that any change will kill the bill.

Maybe they will promise to only use Viagra for consensual, legal sex.

It was a political stunt, but still unacceptable that sex offenders can get this stuff.

Why not? I dont see it as a stunt at all. Why should we pay for this crap?

It was solely designed to try and stop the healthcare bill. If it wasn't a stunt then this should be a bill with multiple co-sponsors that is introduced in the near future.
I'm not saying we should have to pay for this. We absolutely should not. But you have ask why they didn't bring this up in the Senate before it went to the House.

The GOP needs to run that 24/7 in October/Nov.

You know, I would have no problem making them take bodyfat tests.
Reminds me of the time my wife bought fast food for a fat homeless guy. ::)
