Absolutely right, Paul. The fact that the Federal government has no Constitutional mandate to spend the money of the people on only the legitimate functions of a minarchist government had no bearing on Bush's decision. None whatsoever. His explanation was that taxpayer money shouldn't be used to finance research that millions of Americans believe is anti-life. (how insanely laughable) It has nothing to do with Constitionality and everything to do with his personel religious beliefs and those of his supporters that he is pandering to. The fact that so many, except for you and I and a few others with a brain, can't fathom that shows just how duped and foolish so many people are these days.
