No particular Republican is named but its 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 theres 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 dont 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.

I believe in Stem-cell research. My wife and I cord-banked blood only just 3.5 weeks ago. But I will not kill innocent people to save others.

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?

"Ya know, Joe's right ... why there are hundreds of cures on the market right now using Embryonic Stem ... yes? what??? no??? not a single blessed one? but, but, I've heard there were stem cell therapies discovered and ... yes? what??? no kidding? adult stem cells??? really?
nevermind."

We could try to explain to Mr. Biden that we do support stem cell research, and that slaughtering unborn children is not necessary in that pursuit ... but ... he just isn’t smart enough to understand it. I’m afraid his intelligence falls a bit short. Unfortunately, those in the audience offering him thunderous applause for his inadequacies, are largely less intelligent than he is. It is a sorry day for their team.

Biden is an idiot. Tons of money is being spent on stem cell research supported by McCain and Palin. The US gummint spends $640 million a year, States more, and private industry $1.7 billion.

Biden the buffoon steps in it again. Keep talking loser.
To: Free ThinkerNY
Because most cries for embryonic stem cell research are actually thinly veiled demands for unlimited abortion. Every child not aborted is a possible cure for cancer passed by (in their view). They look at Trig Palin and complain among themselves that his brain should have been sucked out for the advancement of science.

If Libs wants to pursue stem-cell research so aggressively, why can’t they do it with adult stem-cells that don’t require embryos, don’t cause uncontrollable tumor growth, and have already proven to be successful?
Oh wait.. these are the same people who think killing animals for sustenance is horrific slaughter, but killing babies for convenience is “a divine right”.

He’s a fool. Most pubbies do support stem-cell research. ADULT stem-cell research, not EMBRYONCI stem-cell research. Stupid RATS do not understand this.

Because Joe, you don’t murder one child in order to help another child.

Once again, Dumb Joe is venturing into a subject and content that is way above his pay grade, intellect, integrity and religious training....
He simply never learned when to shut his lying plagiarizing mouth....

And John McCain supports Stem Cell Research.
To: Free ThinkerNY
The correct answer: We do support it. We support adult stem cell research, chord blood stem cell research, etc., just not embryonic stem cell research, which has proved disastrous on tests in humans.
To: Tax-chick
Biden is openly flaunting his opposition to Church teaching on embroyonic stem-cell research. He is flirting with excommunication.
