Da debbil made me do it!

[TexasCajun]

But will he be entering the nearest Hollywood treatment center for his drug abuse?

[traderrob6]

It didn't seem to bother him to be "symptomatic" in his testimony before Congress.

He made a commercial for Cardin in Maryland and then we find that cardin actually voted against stem cell research. Here's the case Michael . If you are for stem cells fine. If you are using stem cells to get democrats elected as part of your liberal agenda, That aint fine.

I submit its probably a bit of both, but maybe you should look before you leap.

My question is.....I have heard that over medicating exagerrates symptoms. Is this true? And if so..did he purposely do this to play on our sympathies?

[ez]

In fact, at the time he was over-medicated for his Parkinson's disease, Fox said

I take this as an admission that he knows he appeared "other than natural." There are miles of video-tape of him showing no such movements.

Whether he over-medicated or is covering for getting caught playing the "sick victim" card, Limbaugh was right to say it looked "unnatural."

There is not, that I know of, a timed release version of P-ism medication. Every dose sufficiently strong to have effects causes first near freezing and later his dyskinesia.

Why, he must be nearly a 'doctor' to use such a term in public. A B.S.D

[ladtx]

Alright, I'm throwing the BS flag on his comments, 15 yards - loss of down.

[Republican Red]

I have seen him recently on Boston Legal. He is not showing any of the symptoms that he displays in the commercial. Why can he do half a dozen episodes of taped tv shows without symptoms but during a taped commercial cannot do the same?

He wanted the symptoms shown for pity and votes. He got the pity at least.

[Niteranger68]

Boo f-ing hoo! Rush is sooo right on MJF's faux-PSA. And the media continues to gloss over Fox's quote from his own book and Cardin's actual voting record. It's disgusting!

"Fox: I Was Over-Medicated In Stem Cell Ad"

He admits to purposely doing this kind of thing before and the media are outraged when people ask if he might have done it again. They are shameless idiots.

"I don't really care about politics," Fox added. "We want to appeal to voters to elect the people that are going to give us a margin, so we can't be vetoed again."
I think this is referred to as speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
Kinda' like - "I voted for it before I voted against it."

[Man50D]

"The irony is that I was too medicated.

He's had Parkinson's for a few years now and knows the proper amount of medication but for some unknown reason and by coincidence he happens to take too much medication shortly before filming the ad? This ignores the fact being a taped ad, those involved in its production could have waited until he had taken the correct amount of medication.

[Terabitten]

Stem cell research = GOOD.

Embryonic stem cell research = BAD.

Why is it so hard for everyone to grasp this?

[mel]

It is a side effect extra pyramidal symptoms

[lawdude]

BS BS BS BS BS

His ad was made by professionals and had he NOT WANTED EXPLICITLY to appear that wat he could have postponed the taping or waited until he was "OK"! I don't buy your line.

Mike, you purposely put yourself into a condition that enhanced the effects of your disease to garner sympathy and put forth a false image. That condition is NOT normal and you can control you meds to prevent it. OD, MY ASS.

Mikey, you are a paid hitman shill for the lying democrats. You know the ad was phoney and you let it happen.

Shame, Shame!

[mystery-ak]

Exactly.....well said.

[blinachka]

Supporters of the state referendum deny that assertion, noting the language of the proposed constitutional amendment explicitly bans human cloning.

So then the amendment does NOT allow for the closing of human embryos? It specifically and explicitly BANS the cloning of human embryos?

[Man50D]

"I don't really care about politics," Fox added.

That is a contradiction considering he said in the ad ""Unfortunately, Sen. Jim Talent opposes expanding stem cell research," Fox says in the 30-second spot. "Sen. Talent even wanted to criminalize the science that gives us a chance for hope.". This implies voters should vote for a Democrat if people want a cure from embryonic stem cell research. This ignores the fact there are no known cures with embryonic stem cell research for the foreseeable future.

But he opposes the Missouri ballot initiative, claiming it would "make cloning human life at the earliest stage a constitutional right."

That's what it's about, not embryonic stem cell research.
