Talent is not against stem cell research. Fox's ads not only say Talent is against it, he says Talent wants to CRIMINALIZE it, an even worse lie.

Also, Rush, who follows this closely because he is from Missouri, said the issue on the ballot there is an attempt to force human cloning on the public by putting it in the MO constitution and by mandating public funding for it. He said the ballot issue there is about human cloning, NOT stem cell research. But that the proponents have named it the Stem Cell Research for Cures propostion or something like that, in order to confuse people into voting for it.

A final point: there is a lot of stem cell research going on in Missouri right now, including embryonic stem cell research. The idea that somebody is stopping it is another lie.

I don't live in MO, obviously, so I have to pay close attention to others more in the know than I am.

ok, so talent is in favor of stem cell research?

Is this accurate? is limbaugh really following closely an issue that is being discussed in a state where he has not resided for 30 years?

So I guess it's really not much of an issue after all?

Mr Fox has his opinion, and please consider, since when is the mere opinion of some "entertainer" worthy of serious discussion?

Excellent point. The MSM has long accused conservatives of "banning" stem cell research. People buy it because it's easy to understand. They in fact just say that the taxpayers shouldn't foot the bill. Imagine outrage by these capitalist haters if government gave billions of dollars to Glaxo Smith Kline for R&D for a new drug that had no guarantee of working.
