Rove: Bush to veto DeGette bill (stem cell)

Denver Post ^ | 10 july 2006 | John Farrell

[Notwithstanding]

President Bush will likely cast the first veto of his presidency if the Senate, as expected, passes legislation to expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, White House aide Karl Rove said today.

"The president is emphatic about this," Rove said in a meeting with the editorial board of The Denver Post.

The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed the legislation, co-sponsored by Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, and Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del. If the Senate approves the bill this month it would go to the president's desk.

Just like NASA, Public Utilities, Deposit Insurance....

Just doing the jobs ordinary Americans won't.

Man, you are aptly named. The fringe left of course where my money is considered your money. But definitely aptly named.

Are there any other pet projects you would like to steal my money for?

"Do you want me to go on to show how wrong you are on the other point you made, or do you just want to go on mindlessly baiting people?"

You left out "...and making sick comments about the tragedy that was the Terri Shiavo (sp) case.
Lunatic Fringe,I hope you're never faced with a family member in that condition you Jacka$$.

Thank You, Lord, for this strong pro-LIFE President!

[ohioWfan]

Thank you for that post, dirtboy.

It's good to be on the same side with you on this.

[ohioWfan]

Besides which, it doesn't work.

So ending life pointlessly at taxpayers' expense no less, is obviously not a good idea, right LUNATIC?

Amen.

The REAL issue is LIFE......

We have a pro-LIFE President.

This is one of many 'Snowflake Babies'...........real human beings saved from real death as embryos.

It matters.

[Prodn2000]

Typically, 21st century therapies don't work the first time.

That is why there is a call for research.

Wonderful post. Bush has been very clear in his position that embryos are humans too and he has not changed. I am grateful we have a man in the White House who supports protection of human life from the very beginning of life.

[ohioWfan]

The 'call for research' should never involve the ending of life.

Especially when it is completely unnecessary.

The productive research is ongoing, and it doesn't require a death sentence for an innocent child.

Xacly. I'll tell you, I never expected my own party to tool me like these guys are. You expect that from Democrats but not conservatives...oh...theres the problem. These Rino elites that control the party suffer from the same liberal strain that thinks they can outthink the people.

[4woodenboats]

I'll second that Amen and raise you a PTL :~)

[onyx]

I'll BUMP your Praise the Lord!

[LuvyaDubya]

This is FABULOUS news!

[Prodn2000]

I thought these were embryos that were going to be destroyed anyway.

There is nothing pro-life about that.

[ohioWfan]

Wrong.

You have been sadly misinformed (by the media, I presume).

Look at the baby in post #88. A LIFE saved, and not used for research.

Inform yourself before claiming that the issue is not about life.

[ohioWfan]

Amen. FABULOUS!

Praise God!

They've been experimenting on mice embryonic stem cells for nearly 30 years now, that is a fact

You are terribly misinformed as to the facts if you think scientists isolated mice embryonic stem cells almost 30 years ago.
