Dean: President Bush Has Turned His Back on the American People
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement today after President Bush once again put politics ahead of science by vetoing the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007.
The legislation, providing federal funding for life-saving embryonic stem cell research, has the overwhelming support of the American people and passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support. A recent USA Today/Gallup poll showed that 64% of Americans believed President Bush should not veto the bill. [http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=27898]:
“President Bush’s veto of life-saving stem cell research is just another example of how out of touch he is with the American people,” Dean said. “Bush once again put political posturing ahead of sound science, turning his back on the overwhelming majority of Americans who support stem cell research and the 100 million Americans suffering from debilitating diseases who could benefit from this life-saving science. Republicans should stand up to this President and instead stand with the American people by overriding his veto. We absolutely must elect a Democratic President in 2008 to provide the change in direction that the American people have demanded.”
Where’s ole Howie been? Have they kept him tied up in a closet? Very seldom hear from him (Thank heavens)!
Howard Dean is a pantie wearing nutcase who likes to take it from behind. (so I hear)
“President Bush’s veto of life-saving stem cell research is ......”
Name on life saved by embryonic stem cells.....name one.
He may be right about Bush turning his back on the American people but he is totally wrong about the issue involved.
What ugly liars, saying 100 million Americans’ lives would be saved. If this research is so earth shattering, why isn’t private industry doing it?
A bit off topic, I want to ask MJ Fox why the government musts fund the research. I guess he and the dems don’t believe in the free market medical research.
And the Dem Congress hasn’t, Howie? (Liberals are such hypocrites.)
As a fellower sufferer of genetic neuropathy, I would like to ask MJ how he could let his condition make him so narcissistic that he puts his own condition above the lives of others.
Howie, if it’s so damned good, then you should be spending your time getting the drug companies to put up the money. That’s not against the law!
They’d be held liable for the Cancer it causes.
Dean should just go somewhere and scratch his ass.
He’s got celebrity hockey games to play in, how about you?
Yes, I thought you do this by beaming microwaves, but I think it’s recently been used against the mob, or was it in the war on terror.
Is there a more irrelevant person than Howard Dean?
On stem cell research, I don't think any is at human testing stage so industry could do it without worrying about cancers. I'm guessing that in clinical trials you pretty much sign your life away. I've never read about lawsuits from one, and sometimes patients do die.
Right line, wrong issue.
But Deaniac can’t mention that issue since his own kind is helping turn their back as well.
Oh shut up Howie.
BULLCRAP! That's 1 in 3 Americans.
