He supports Claire McCaskill because he says Jim Talent doesn't support the expansion of stem cell research and wants it criminalized. He explains why someone from outside Missouri wants to see McCaskill win. For those who aren't all that passionate about opposing stem cell research (and are either for it or don't care), it's probably a powerful ad. Fox is very likeable and he doesn't come off as harsh and mean-spirited, or even as a liberal-- he's a great salesman for whatever you'd want to sell.
Another piece of propaganda to make people believe that somebody Michael J Fox would be cured tomorrow if only those evil Republicans and Pres Bush would let Federal tax dollars pay for killing embryos or fetuses. Fox could care less about anybody else in his desparate effor to save his own bacon. If anybody has seen the South Park episode about Christoper Reeves eating fetuses to regain his ability to walk, that pretty much sums it up.
The schmucks commenting over there fancy themselves informed, when they are quite obviously misinformed about the facts. Adult stem cell research is producing cures; embryonic stem cell research is only producing tumors.
The D's continue to profoundly distort the stem cell issue with no end in sight! "Those mean Republicans who are still holding back on all of the cures of all of the diseases of the world!" "Please don't re-elect those mean Republicans" (sob sob)!
Jeezz Michael. Is it Mizz-ooh-ri or Mizz-ooh-ra ? I'll bet you don't live there. I'll even bet you've never been there.
The Commies here in Arizona are pimping "stem cell research" also. What's up with that? The grants? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$????????
I think there a ballot stem cell ballot issue in MN, too.
WI governor candidate Mark Green is getting this Big Lie, too.

Where was the small town Fox was stranded in in "Doc Hollywood"? Could it have been in Missouri.
I wish these ads had full disclosure. Hey we can sacrifice millions of unborn babies for the unlikely potential of curing Parkinsons in 10 or 20 years.
So you contend that celebrities only support money for diseases they have?
Micheal Fox is the only one I can think of.
The DNC is running an ad here trashing J.D. Hayworth for his vote against embryonic stem cell research. One of the Udall kids (the west's version of the Kennedy clan) has developed Lupus because of J.D.'s vote. Or so the ad goes. We're not supposed to vote for J.D. because a Udall has Lupus. I don't get it.
Sigh.
I invite Michael J. Fox, or John Edwards, or Claire McCaskill, or any of the other champions of ESCR to inject themselves with embryonic stem cells to cure whatever chronic illnesses they might have.
Although specifics are yet unknown it does offer a potential that adult stem cell may not due to its proliferation properties.
Where's Biff when you need him?
Actually, neither embryonic or adult stem cells are producing cures. Bone marrow transplantation for malignancies has been an established treatment for many years, and can cure some people of their malignancies, but there is still a long way to go before stem cell treatment, even with adult stem cells, fulfills the promise inherent in all the hype. This is not to say that it can't happen. But it will take time.
No it goes beyond mere $$. It has to do with dehumanizing everyone bringing us to a more utilitarian (Communist/Marxist/Godless) common denominator where individuals are not important, only the supreme state, which will be god (small "g") over every aspect of our lives. Your worth will be determined by your usefulness, nothing more, you're just a blob of flesh anyway, right?
Protect and guard the unborn, the weak, the aged, the infirm in our society, be their advocate, that's our duty, our mission, as fellow human beings, evil is afoot.
