And this genius made these asinine remarks at a public School, well isn't that special. Filling young skulls full of mush with instructions in how to tell really big whoppers on TV..

I really, really hope that comes up in the debate and that Kerry brings it up, I want Kerry to defend this statement, it ought to be fun.

"I'm a senior citizen," she said. "I want seniors taken care of. I want someone to get down these huge doctor bills. Kerry and Edwards will help the middle class."

Um, Rita, having a trial lawyer as veep will only increase your doctor bills.

Strange. I have only seen the Edwards quote on "right wing web sites". It seems the MSM isn't playing all that faith healing mumbo jumbo.

The president needs to hit really hard with the real facts concerning stem cell research in this next debate. Including the difference in adult stem cells, embyronic stem cells, the availability of existing lines of embyonic for research, AND the truth that if the miracles of which Kerry and Edwards speak were possible it would be done already. All the tools are there. Research is being done. The two Johns aren't going to make one whit of difference either way in this research.

Maybe Kerry will be able to perform miracles. Demonrats are able to get dead people to vote. They must have powerful voodoo.

After Edward's over the top comments about electing Kerry so People like Christopher Reeve would get up and walk, some people have been expecting that Bush would even eventually be blamed for Reeve's death.

Well. This message was just forwarded to me:
>>>>
Subject: Bush Kills Superman
I was at the store today and there were some kids there all about 8 or 9 years old. One said that he hated George Bush. The others agreed with him. He said that "for all the good that Superman did for people and our country, when it was our turn to help him, when he got into trouble, George Bush turned his back on him. Bush killed Superman." Kids are so smart.
>>>>

I believe this really happened, don't you?
I was also sent this post which was made in english on a French forum (of course) where a poster uses the same phrase.

President Bush KILLED Superman.

If Christopher Reeve got harvested stem cells he'd be alive and walking today. President Bush KILLED Superman

This "heal the sick, raise the dead" stuff out of this sleazy little twit on behalf of his French lover has pushed me past the limit. I used to just want them defeated and maybe embarassed a little. Now I want them publicly - and painfully - eviscerated. And their wives, and their pets.

That is not an actual quote, they left what I have in bold:

America just lost a great champion for this cause in Christopher Reeve. When John Kerry is president, People like Chris Reeve will get out of their wheelchairs and walk again with stem cell research."

What? Believe that the message forwarded to you or that some 8 or 9 year old kids would say something like that?
