It seems that I remember Bill Clinton being President during more years of Mr. Reeve's paralysis than President Bush. Why are they not hammering Clinton for not getting him cured?

[Keith in Iowa]

>>>Why are they not hammering Clinton for not getting him cured?

That would mean they had to tell the truth. They can't do that.

[Jeff Head]

Hey Paul, how about demanding that Kerry apologize, NOW!

[RightWhale]

Did they mention that Bush was the first President to allow Federal funding for stem cell research?

Paul "The Forehead" Begala? That lowlife, subhuman, liberal-demokkkRAT twerp? Blech!

=== He did not fail to mention that George W. Bush opposes embryonic stem cell research


Uh ... well, except for his OWN "do as I say, not as I do" project, right?

[Brilliant]

Bush does not oppose embryonic stem cell research. He opposes FEDERAL FUNDING of embryonic stem cell research, unless it involves a few dozen lines of cells already in existence.

It's just another fine example of how the liberal media lies for partisan purposes.

[Jim Noble]

This idea (stem cell research) is much more powerful than the facts justify.

As befits a post-Christian, lost world.

[WoodstockCat]

let them try this hooey.
They still haven't learned how far they over-reached in MN and Wellstone in 2002.

[dougherty]

Well, we knew it was coming the moment we learned of Christopher's passing. These sick b@st@rds have no shame or decency.

[Pastnowfuturealpha]

From the post: " embryonic stem cell research - "

Can what President Bush wants to do - match what the embryonic stem cell research does - Is there any proof one way or the other as to which gives the best results - ?

I understand the base difference - I just want to know if there is proof that the research needs to be "embroyonic"

just wondering -

As someone posted earlier, Reeves horse was a Republican.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Not a suprise to me.... no class.

Paul Begal = Maddox?

Maddox on Reeves

[jporcus]

I hate to bring this up, but the politicization of Reeves is bound to happen, as Begala has started, so here goes. I wonder whether in prep for the debate Kerry got a heads-up from the Reeves family that Reeves was near death? I find it incredible that Kerry just happens to mention Reeves Friday night. I would NOT find it hard to believe that Kerry would use Reeves' impending death to magnify his stance on stem-cell research.

This is not meant to be a smear on Reeves, who was an inspiration given the tragedy he suffered.

[weegee]

John Kerry danced on Ronald Reagan's casket and TOOK PICTURES.

[atomicpossum]

"The Forehead" is a Democrat. Shame is unknown to him.

[Spiff]

He did not fail to mention that George W. Bush opposes embryonic stem cell research but John Kerry and Nancy Reagan favor it.

Correction. Not correcting you, but Begala.

George W. Bush DOES support embryonic stem cell research along with adult and umbilical stem cell research. However, Bush does NOT support destroying any more embryos and fetuses to support stem cell research. There are already some stem cell lines from embryos who have already been destroyed and the research will be done using those lines, using adult stem cells, or using umbilical stem cells. Kerry wishes and Reeve wished to destroy further life to support research that only has a minute chance of having any real benefit.

When my wife and I heard the sad news concerning Chris Reeves I told her that the dims would be blaming Pres. Bush for his death.

[WashingtonSource]

Democrats are the most ghoulish people in the world. They try to turn every death, funeral, et cetera into a political statement. They have no couth.

[Arpege92]

When I first heard of Chris Reeve's death, I couldn't help but think that the Dem's would somehow try and use this against Bush. Looks as if I were right.
