Shrub (i.e. Little Bush) finally unsheathed his veto pen in order to limit the harvesting of unborn babies for medical research. Patches Kennedy thinks this is unforgivable because "Every family in America has a loved one who is suffering from a disease that could be benefited from the advances of stem cell research ... every single American."

Of course, from his perspective, in his small world of Congress, the Kennedy Klan, and Rehab, that might just be true.

Why call the President "Shrub" and "Little Bush?" He's more of a man than you'll ever be.

I don't.

Maybe Patty Boy thinks he'll be able to restore some lost brain cells with this research.

First of all, your crude comments about my President are not appreciated.

Now... we have to absolute worthless CONgresscritters from the smallest, in every way, state whining they don't like what the President did. When either of them make into the White House, they can veto whatever they dang well please.

Meanwhile, Patrick Kennedy and James Langevin - saying Bush had dashed the hopes of millions of Americans who suffer from diseases and chronic illnesses.

They are both free to give all their money to fund the "research" any time they want. All President Bush did was ban MY money from being spent on ESC research.

Patches could put his money where his mouth is and fund it himself!

I see Molly Ivins has been talking to you in her sleep again.

Stem cell research couldn't cure what ails Patches.

I smell troll.

If these guys are so serious about stem cell research, why doesn't he propose a bill to fund stem cell research of cells taken from adults and umbilical cord blood at the same levels as the previous embryonic bill - or heck, even double the amount? The fact that he doesn't indicates he is not for stem cell research, but just for the destruction of human embryos to provide another cash cow for the industry of "disposable" human beings.

Shrub (i.e. Little Bush)

You know, I've never seen President Bush referred to in this forum as a plant. Now you, you're a plant, but hopefully not for long. Thank God someone stands up against the evil of "embryo harvest". Took a man and a woman to make that embryo. It is life.

Spending a lot of time over at DU? This derogatory language isn't appreciated here.

[Alas Babylon!]

IBTZ!

Who knows...maybe stem cell research can find a cure for the liberal weasel trait of breaking the law and then running to the Mayo Clinic for a quick "cure"? That this loser is still in office proves that the Democrats in MA are beyond ridicule.

[Doctor Raoul]

Guess the Kennedys are hoping stem cells will cure drunkeness?

[TheDoneFrankDog]

I think what the President needs to do is to better explain the differences between Neo-Natal blood cord, Embryonic, and Adult bone marrow stem cell research. When he and the GOP thoroughly explain the promises of Neo-natal blood cord and Adult bone marrow stem cell research, and the lack of promise in Embryonic stem cell research, he will win this debate.
