One Democrat in particular has funded research into the lives of Vietnamiese prositutes and masturbation habits of old men, but voted to gut spending for our soldiors? Why kind of priorities are those? See link:

Here's some more info for you
The second Republican advertisement was by challenger Paul R. Nelson, attacking Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) for voting to fund specific NIH grants. Shuster reported that Kind voted to "maintain peer-reviewed research standards at the National Institutes of Health. The standards cover all research." The vote cited in Nelson's advertisement corresponded with an amendment by then-Rep. Pat Toomey (R-PA) to H.R. 2660, which would have forbidden spending on specific NIH grants. Kind voted against the amendment.
However, the advertisement misled on the nature of the studies. The advertisement claimed that "Ron Kind voted to spend your money to study the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes." According to the American Psychological Association (APA), that grant was for "the first HIV prevention intervention study targeting Asian commercial sex workers at massage parlors in the U.S." Of another grant, the advertisement said "Ron Kind spent your money on masturbation habits of old men." According to the APA, that grant was for "a new analysis of data originally collected in the late 1980s" to study "sexual function and how it changes with age." The APA noted that "without a better understanding of age-related changes in men's sexual function, physicians may assume that declines in function are normal when they actually reflect early symptoms of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease." Deutsch said of Nelson's advertisement: "My favorite one is the candidate who is paying for masturbation habits of old men and pornograph -- I mean, the way these people connect these dots, it -- it's really sickening. ... I think people are sick of this stuff. And I think consumers are not stupid."

As opposed to the GOP, that didn't want to buy body armor for the troops they put in danger?
I see you use one to symbolize Dems in general. And they wonder why no one takes Con-job arguments seriously.
