Democrats Come Out in Support of Viagra for Child Rapists

Maybe if someone pretended child rapists were tea partiers they'd be against this. But since Democrats love criminals, they're all for giving boner pills to kiddie rapists.

Change you can believe in, I guess.

It was, by all accounts, the most politically volatile amendment proposed to the health care legislation so far: a proposal by Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, to bar federal health programs and the future federally regulated insurance exchanges from covering the cost of erectile dysfunction medication for convicted sex offenders.

Mr. Coburn, arguing for his amendment, said it was a step intended to save taxpayers’ money. The proposal, he said, “creates a prohibition so that erectile dysfunction drugs are not paid for by the American taxpayers” for “convicted rapists” and “pedophiles in this country.”

Senator Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana and chairman of the Finance Committee, said, “The amendment offered by the senator from Oklahoma makes a mockery of this Senate.” He added, “It’s a crass political stunt aimed at making 30-second commercials, not public policy.”

As we all know, crass political stunts are so beneath Democrats. Well, at least we have the Democrats on record supporting the rights of child rapists. Can't wait for the commercials.
