We need to break the generational curse. Our generation (I'm whistling too brother) needs to fade away and the next couple generations need to continue to remind people that ... they aren't just flushing the goldfish down the toilet or drowning puppies down at the Humane Society. The death culture's time has come and America must breathe and cleanse itself of this Holocaust of Cowardice...
A case in point would be Senator Frist. He defended embryo stem cell harvesting when the issue arose. He did fall in line and support the President when Bush allowed federal money to be spent ONLY on the stem cell lines that existed at the time of his ruling, with No monies to be spent on cell lines that would be generated after the ruling (like using cadaver tissue rather than killing alive people to establish tissue lines).
I have mixed feelings about Frist because of his defense for open season on alive embryos and his tacit support for 'limited cloning'. Yet I can give him marks for supporting the President's path, a path that Frist didn't anticipate and wasn't made privy to at the time. The same may not be said for Specter. He is too dangerous to allow him ANY POWER in the Committee.
Lest we forget, there are issue of tort reform (Specter is a great friend of trial lawyers), circuit court nominees, and bans on things like embryo exploitation and cloning that will arise during a Specter tenure as Committee Chairman. I don't want a rino like Specter having so much power to bend the Republican agenda to his liberal gutter.
