A Great Argument for Curtailing War Funds

One of the best arguments I've heard in a long time for curtailing funds for Bush's war in Iraq came today during a debate over stem cell research. I believe it was Senator Lugar who was bloviating against funding the research, stating he was not only voting his own belief, he was voting the belief of millions of Americans. He felt it was patently unfair to ask millions of American taxpayers to fund research that violated their fundamental belief....

Okay, Senator. This war violates my fundamental beliefs, as well as those of millions of other Americans. I find it unfair that you want us to pay for it.

Think that little gem will have any effect on our GOPer friends? They're willing to cut off funds to support the Fundies, how about to support the millions of pacifists? I highly doubt it. Were we to raise the argument on the Senate floor that millions of Americans oppose the war; therefore, we shouldn't fund it, the GOPers would call the argument specious.

Shouldn't the same apply to their objections to stem cell research? Just asking....
