Bush vetoes stem cell bill

Hillary is also far behind the latest science. Seems a Japanese researcher figured out how to dope mouse skin cells with 4 chemicals to RESET their DNA to turn them into plurapotent stemcells, that is, the same thing as embryonic stem cells.

Perhaps he could reset Hillary's DNA so she could grow the male equipment she no doubt has been longing to tuck into her boxers all her life? ;)

Your cynicism and disillusion pale only to your ignorance.

The Dems are supporting fetal stem cell research not because they care about it, but because most of the GOP is against it, and because polls show a majority of Americans, if asked "would you support stem cell research to cure xxxx disease" say yes. It's a classic wedge issue.

The majority say yes only because the poll question always leaves out the important word "embryonic" as did the headline. This is deliberate in my opinion. The Feds have been funding non-embryonic stem cell research all along.

[Shelayne]

Absolutely right. It is a clever deception that works quite well.

I have heard people I work with talk about stem-cell research successes. Of course, they were speaking about ADULT stem cells, but they think it is all the same thing. When I try to tell them the facts, they look at me like “Yeah whatever. Why should I believe YOU over ABCCBSNBCCNN?”

Almost forgot! Thank you Mr. President!! :^)

"This is just one example of how the president puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families, just one more example of how out of touch with reality he and his party have become," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., told the Take Back America conference of liberal activists Wednesday.

Oh right. Especially since there has been SO much success in the research using embryonic stem cells in the last few years. /s

[mkjessup]

Your cynicism and disillusion pale only to your ignorance.

Your myopic hero worship and idolization of someone who is running roughshod over the Constitution and failing to defend the borders of our Republic is exceeded only by the treadmark wear indicators on your GWB-kneepads.

It is always a ‘good day’ when the unborn are protected.

[tomnbeverly]

That is so true With 1.5 million abortions performed each year in the U.S. alone. People don’t even realized that, the number of abortions performed equals half of the number of babies that are born.... Yes its that many. Women ran with Roe V Wade and obviously feel it is an acceptable form of Birth Control.

[batter]

We can give credit when it is due. Good job, Mr. President.

Bump.

[fatnotlazy]

“Women ran with Roe V Wade and obviously feel it is an acceptable form of Birth Control.”

Just for the record, this woman did not. :)

Politics without principle is fascism.

And for the guy who had an issue with the embryos getting tossed vs. used... it is sad that the embryos will die. But if you can imagine if this research is allowed that it would just open the floodgates to indescriminate harvesting— it is good to hold the line here.

Mr. President, you are lousy on immigration but you done good here.

[RightWhale]

Politics without principle is fascism.

Interesting. Never heard that predication before.

[tomnbeverly]

Hope Hillary or Oblama does a better job with that single border issue you got there friend.

Oh but don’t forget you get all the other liberal garbage like partial birth abortion, cloning, death on demand... not to mention the terrorists that will be coming here to kill our families...

Obviously your blind hatred of illegal immigrants has caused you to be unable to see the political forest through the trees..

Good luck... You might as well get an account over on DU while your at it.

[mgstarr]

I wasn’t going to dignify his/her comment with a reply but I concur wholeheartedly with what you said.

[Alter Kaker]

Politics without principle is fascism.

And principle alone, without paying attention to political reality, gets you nowhere.

"This is just one example of how the president puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families, just one more example of how out of touch with reality he and his party have become," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton

Here's a clear case of projection. It's Shrillary's party which puts politics before EVERYTHING, including "the needs of our families."

[mkjessup]

Hope Hillary or Oblama does a better job with that single border issue you got there friend.

Wise up Sparky, that "single issue" is a knife at the throat of our national security. A veto of a stem cell bill is fine, but it does nothing to make America's borders more secure. Wake up and take a look around.

Oh but don’t forget you get all the other liberal garbage like partial birth abortion, cloning, death on demand... not to mention the terrorists that will be coming here to kill our families...

Cruising right across our southern border where there SHOULD be a double-security fence, mandated by legislation that your hero GWB signed, but has failed to implement.

Obviously your blind hatred of illegal immigrants has caused you to be unable to see the political forest through the trees..

It's not hatred at all 'friend', so don't even try that gambit, check out the operative word:

ILLEGAL

They're *illegal* and have no business being in this country, and when you have a President that has taken leave of his senses in this area, making common cause with Fat Teddy Kennedy, it means that within those 12 to 20+ million ILLEGAL immigrants that would be validated, legitimized, and welcomed aboard, there are going to be murderers, rapists, child molesters, *terrorists*, and every other kind of misfit. You talk about not seeing the 'forest', you better wake the Hell up and notice the trees about to fall down on our collective heads.

Good luck... You might as well get an account over on DU while your at it.

Funny you should mention DU. It was the same kind of brainless and blind allegiance to one man (Bill Clinton) which prevented those dirtbags at DU from recognizing that Clinton had lied to the American people, failed to uphold his Oath of Office, had dishonored that Office, and should have been removed from the Presidency. Their mantra then was that "it was just sex", "the economy's great", "vast right wing conspiracy", blah-blah-blah, and that kneejerk reaction was absolutely NO different than the blind hero-worshipping you and other GWB idolizers are engaging in now.

I voted for our President 3 times, in the primaries of 2000, and in the general elections of 2000 and 2004, so don't even try that 'Bush-hating, go to DU' horsesh*t on me pal, I stand with the Constitution and our American Republic, that is where my allegiance is, and not to any one man.

Pull the blinders off, if you're capable of doing so.

[mkjessup]

I wasn’t going to dignify his/her comment with a reply but I concur wholeheartedly with what you said.

Thank you FRiend. But keep reading, I'm just getting warmed up now.

[firebrand]

He needs to just say, "ESCR does not work -- I am not going to support killing babies for something that has been tried for almost 30 years and never made a single person better."

So if it did make a single person better it's OK to kill babies? Maybe it was just as well he didn't say that.
