Well, well. Look who just caught up. Did Ronny finally do a little research?

But now that Mr. Reagan has contradicted the top Democrat, it's not clear whether Sen. Kerry will publicly acknowledge he and Reagan are at odds over the potential for stem cell research as a cure for Alzheimer's when Reagan addresses the Democratic convention at the end of this month. Forget Alzheimers. Twinkle toes appearance at the Dim convention has one purpose only, and, although it will be mentioned, it has absolutely nothing to do with stem cell research.

"Alzheimers is a disease, ironically, that probably wont be amenable to treatment through stem cell therapies,"
Everything is ironic.
Thanks Alanis Morissette.

Little Ronnie is a tippie-toed tutu wearin' tarantula. The feigned surprise yesterday from the blathering idiots that he was speaking at the RAT convention was laughable. Why does PMSNBC continue to retain him on their payroll when he is obviously a RAT operative?

I'm shocked he admitted it. Usually when liberals get a piece of truth that doesn't fit their agenda they keep it to themselves.

The other interesting aspect of this is that the press keeps saying that the Bush Admin doesn't fund Stem Cell Research. I believe it "didn't" fund the research to the tune of 250M$ THIS YEAR.
What little research I have done indicates that adult stem-cell research is more promising then embryonic; that we have 60 genetically diverse lines of embryonic stem cells to perform research on and that we won't fund the development of new embryonic lines.
As with everything else in the media, we always get the half baked story.

"So why have he and his mother, former first lady Nancy Reagan, made stem cell research their cause celeb? "
Two words: Patti Davis.
The compulsion of former President Reagan's children to disrespect him while he was in office, and after he left office, is only surpassed by what they are planning to do now that he has passed away.
Its "mommie dearest" without the rationale.

It will backfire. People will be talking not about Kerry, but about Ronald Reagan and what he would have said.

As with everything else in the media, we always get the half baked story. That's what infuriates me. The top-of-the-hour news was covering this subject yesterday, and the guy clearly said that Bush was "blocking stem cell research". This caused me to turn around and yell "Liar!" at my radio, which was quite a shock to one of our managers who had just walked in to use the copier.

Exactly. Everybody would ignore Ron P. and Kerry and focus more on Ronald W.
But I would guess Ron Reagan will be buried in the schedule. All they want is some counter to Zell: A "Reagan" spoke at our convention.

But I would guess Ron Reagan will be buried in the schedule.Nope, they're giving him primetime.

Everything is ironic. Thanks Alanis Morissette. Doesn't that drive you nuts?

And they only get three hours of primetime coverage.
To: The Old Hoosier
Do you have a link to the schedule? I thought I saw it floating.
I really can't believe they're putting this dim bulb in primetime.
But I guess it doesn't surprise me, these people are inhaling spite these days.

The issue with Alzheimer's disease is that any stem-cell treatment will be utterly ineffective in treating it. The problem is that Alzheimer's is what is called a "whole brain" disease as opposed to a "brain cell" disease -- so any treatment dealing with individual cells won't do a damn thing.
