Thanks. The Dems have been blasting the Reps for using gay marriage as a "wedge" issue, but it is clear that's exactly what the Dems are doing with the stem cell issue. Every ad for every candidate mentions stem cells, even though stem cell research has not been particularly promising as a cure for anything. It's an effort to make Bush appear anti-scientific, a "flat earth" type. And now, on top of everything else, the Dems are claiming miraculous powers, in keeping with their arrogance.

No question that's what they're doing. It makes sense, though, since they aren't exactly going after the genious segment of the population, and they're very short on issues to exploit. So they just make it up.

With the death of Christopher Reeve, are you for or against embryonic stem cell research?

  If you were to talk to John Kerry's daughter, Vanessa ... (who's a living heterosexual)... she would probably say she's glad her father wasn't able to fund her destruction for stem cell research when she was an embryo.

She would probably say this even if she knew her death would have helped her father's heroes Chris and Mike and Max.
