Charles Krauthammer of the Fox News All-Stars, just relayed that FRist had been supportive of ramping up support for embryonic stem cells research and said so in a speech to the Senate in 2001.
This was about one month before President Bush announced his decision to not expand embryonic research support in 2001.
FRist deferred to the President at that time and allowed 4 years to pass before now reaffirming that we need to do more research and need more lines of cells to work with..
Sometimes, not often, but sometimes Krauthammer disappoints me...
