No particular Republican is named but it’s no mystery whom this is aimed at.

Was Joe Biden referring to Sarah Palin, a mother of a child with Down syndrome, when he made this comment?

“I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there’s joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don’t you support stem cell research?”

Biden received a thunderous ovation when he made the remark at a town hall style meeting this morning in Columbia.

Mr. Biden. If YOU care so much for kids with birth defects, why do you want them killed?

Someone needs to tell Biden that we DO support stem cell research - ADULT stem cell research.

What we don’t support is stem cell research utilizing aborted embryos. You know, the ones Biden’s side routinely destroy when they found out that the baby in utero wasn’t “perfect.”

Republicans DO support stem cell research. It was a Republican president, George W. Bush, who put in place the first government funding for stem cell research. What conservatives do NOT support is the creation of human embryos for the express purpose of destroying them in order to engage in this research.

We do. Adult stem cell research, the kind that actually cures diseases, not the kind that kills kids and makes tumors grow.

Republicans do support Stem Cell Research. Adult Stems Cell research. Embryonic Stem Cells, which Obiden is talking about here, has been a medical dead end that produces nothing of use to the Medical community. Even the orginal proponet of Embroyonic stem cells says it a waste of time to follow and that research should shift to Adult Stem Cells.

Biden is a liar and a putz. President Bush was the first president to support stem cell research. President Bush, like most of America, does NOT support embryonic stem cell research that uses aborted babies.

Who in their right mind would ever consider Joe Biden as presidential material?

Hard to know where to begin to address the level of ignorance in that comment. His solution is to make perfect babies? Perfect non-gay babies too? Or does he just want to abort the imperfect babies for their stem cells and feed them to celebrities to keep them looking young forever. I’m ranting. Sorry...

If you care about it, why don’t you support stem cell research?”

We do support stem cell research you frikin' indecent moron! They only thing that you, Mr. Biden, have proven is that you take your voter base to be so dumb as to not know what embryonic stem cells are!

How come you left out the word "embryonic'?

Assclown!

Republicans do support ADULT STEM CELL research.

Conservatives do support stem cell research. We do not support embryonic research where one must die for another to live. Doesn’t he know the difference?
