Missouri stem-cell debate gets the spotlight (Rush turned this one around)
Townhall.com ^ | Oct. 29, 2006 | Jonathan Garthwaite

As you can imagine, this controversy has stirred the emotions of everyone on both sides and has a lot more people involved in the debate than had been during the late Summer.

The Michael J. Fox ad caused several Missouri celebrities, who are opposed to Amendment 2, to create their own ad starring St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, Passion of the Christ star, Jim Caviezel, and Everyone Loves Raymond actress, Patricia Heaton.

So much for secretly passing the constitutional amendment in the dark of night. Missouri voters are in a full-fledged debate about cloning and they are beginning to see the light.

The embryonic stem cell proponents may still prevail and pass this Amendment, but they have a much tougher road ahead now that they have overreached.

In just the past two weeks, polling has shown that the number of people whose vote is a “certain yes” on the measure has dropped from 57% to 45%. It seems the more Missourians know about Amendment 2, the more they know they don’t like it.

It would help if the good guys would do research and tell the truth in their reporting.

This ad was already being made before the Michael J. Fox ad was aired.

And the Dems did it to themselves.

If they would have just kept their mouths shut about Rush's comments, chances are this thing would have sailed through.

But, being Dems, they just couldn't help themselves to try to 'demonize' a republican.

Sucks to be them.

Sorry, they've been advertising the hell out of this for weeks, at least on radio and now on TV. Kind of odd if they were hoping to sneak it past anyone.

But we'd need cloning in FL for that.

Why don't the advocates of stem cell research put their money toward privately-funded research, instead of buying ad time to advocate for public funding of research?
