More Castle liberalism...

[Ev Reeman]

Let us remember that Castle voted to investigate Bush about the Iraq war.

[muawiyah]

Castle is one of these pukes who views tiny human embryos as being nothing more than a different sort of caviar.

Time to turn Castle into political chum!

[DPMD]

This makes perfect sense, coming from Congress. Like the war on poverty, the war on drugs, and the war on bad education, embryonic stem cell research has produced no track record of success, therefore we need to throw even more money down the rat hole of persistent failure.

On the up side, think of the donors and supporters who will profit from the direct payments from Congress, and the secret offshore accounts that will bulge even further after the appropriate kickbacks..er, I mean campaign donations.

[Cicero]

Mike Castle is liberal on defense, liberal on spending, liberal on big, corrupt government, and liberal on baby killing and same-sex marriage.

How any Republican can justify voting for him is beyond me.

[RockinRight]

You know a great way to kill this issue?

Address it scientifically. Embryonic stem cells:

1. DON’T WORK
2. CAUSE CANCER

Adult stem cells:

1. Work
2. Are the patients own DNA so no rejection/reaction risk

End of discussion.

[MichaelCorleone]

My understanding is that adult stem cells produce better results than embyonic. At that time (maybe 10 yrs ago) I thought a ton of private money went into adult SC research for that reason.

If that’s still true, why isn’t the medical community driving that point home? Or is it that abortion rules even there?

[ravingnutter]

[SumProVita]

I sincerely hope that Castle is overwhelmingly defeated!

[Haiku Guy]

One can make an argument for abortion rights under Roe vs. Wade. The argument might not be persuasive, but there is a certain logic to it.

The argument for Embryonic Stem Cell Research, on the other hand, is flat-out evil. It weighs the value of human life against some external good, and finds in favor of the external. That kind of utilitarian thinking has paved the way for every mass-murdering despot to come down the pike, from Cain to Hitler to Mao.

We know where this road leads. We must not take this turn.

[Kenny Bunk]

Where in the Constitution is any Federal Connection to the issue of Embryonic or other Stem Cell scientific research? Health Insurance? Gay Marriage? Abortion?

It is the States that form the Federal Government, not vice-versa.

[MEGoody]

So Castle wants the Republican platform to look just like the Democrat platform? Why doesn’t he just change parties?
