I agree.
based on which specific points he made? I'll read this carefully later as well. But from what I read, at least some of his points seemed thought through.
SUBJECT: Stem Cell Statements should lead to the REAL Question...

Trouble with that is... Whenever it happens to one of "our guys," we here on the homefront have to BOHICA!!! (Bend Over... Here It Comes Again!!!)
You know, like our 7 out of the "Gang of 14!" Judas Priest those Repellicans make me sick!!! (not all of 'em, just those "LIMP IN THE WRIST" ones)
Well... You sure as heck couldn't call it the "Sampson Syndrome!"
"How long before Frist is called a RINO?"
Interesting question. It seems to me that it is getting harder and harder to determine what "Republican" politicians believe in the first place, much less what a "RINO" believes.
Orrin Hatch was just on on Fox News / Special Report w/Brit Hume questioning advice the President received re: embryonic stem cell research.
Shock - the LA Times would lie?
It is real.
I'm an American Originalist Conservative first, that usually votes for Republican candidates since the other candidates are either so fruity, or stupid that my conscience would drive me to drink if I ever voted for any of those dorks.
Many times, I don't vote either for, or against a candidate, or issue at all. It amazes me how many otherwise intelligent people do NOT understand that doing that does NOT invalidate one's ballot!!!
So now I guess I am counter with Bush on several issues.
I am counter on Bush regarding the border, and the refusal of Bush to protect the border with Mexico, and he angers me to no end regarding this.
I am counter on Bush regarding Islam as "the religion peace".
I am counter on Bush regarding CAFTA.
And now, I guess I am counter on Bush regarding this.
Sorry, Frist not Frisk ... anyway, that doesn't mean I'm a supporter of him, he's really isn't very important. But I think I do now reverse my position on this....
Embryonic stem cells also have the nasty habit of turning into rampant tumors. Adult and umbilical cord blood stem cells do not.
Frist is an f-ing traitor! Forgive me my language but when our "leadership" will betray us so easily then he can take his party and shove it! I am f-ing livid!
Like many of you I am still reading up on this subject. I have always been against any stem cell research and of course I am against government funding of such research. If we allow stem cell research (in the private sector) what happens next?
A web page at http://www.griffith.edu.au/er/development/content_icmt_adultstem.html
tells about Australian researchers growing nerve cells, glial cells, liver cells, heart cells and muscle cells all from nose stem cells. It seems that it we put our mind to it we can do as much with adult stem cells as we think we could with embryonic stem cells. Another point is that ESC research must eventually lead to cloning, since only cloned embryo cells will solve tissue rejection problems.
So, no, I am not a Frist supporter, but on this issue I guess I will have to side with Sen. Orrin Hatch, whom I respect. One day, conservatives will find that he was, and is, worthy of great respect, he would have made a great President.
Look around you.
Read the newspapers.
The dam is already broken.
The floodgates have burst.
LOL :)
Yep.
Kill unborn babies so we can save some old geezer's life.
What is sickening is the pompous assurance implied in these messages that if it were not for conservatives and their fundamentalist right to life beliefs, Alzheimer's would be reversed, quadriplegics would walk again, the blind would have their vision restored - as if modern Medicine is the Messiah, and all we need are stem cells to usher us into the Promised Land.
Are you against Adult Stem Cell research too? If so, why?
