mware is smack on!!!! A group of us pro-liers were having coffee Saturday morning when this Frist thing came up regarding embryonic stem cells. Someone in the group said the same thing as mware. We need to be shouting this from the rooftops. Take mware's statement and memorize it!!! Use it daily. Show Frist that we're not totaly brain dead yet....that there are enough of out there that will gladly tip his applecart over if he doesn't change his tune. My Senator is McConnell and I'm going to send him the same message.
