Yes, with NIH we get focused research lead by a few people that think they are the only ones with a good idea. We have probably set back a cure for cancer by years. The best and brightest are following the political researcher’s paths so that they will be funded, NIH grants the route to tenure, instead of making their own discoveries. We would be better off letting the States fund researchers instead of supporting Government projects at NIH and CDC.

Every researcher knows that the best project is one that will be funded by NIH but will never be solved. A career maker.

Government lead research is like everything else the government does.

I will bet as this gets around it won’t be viewed as a coup.

Pay to play, it’s the Obama way.

Looks like Specter got his 30 pieces of silver. Why am I not surprised.

It would seem that if there was in fact and kind and loving God he would has sent the traitor to the grave before he voted to drive a stake through the heart of the country that I love..

So he got 10 billion dollars out of a 787 billion dollar boondoggle. He sold out cheap.

Folks, the money is only fifteen of the silver pieces.

The other fifteen lay in the words of this “journalistic BJ” masquerading as a news piece. Think back to your high school days, and to the poor souls who would do anything to be considered part of the “in-crowd”; or recall the college youth who would accept all manner of humiliation to join just the right fraternity. You now know the juvenile insecurities that motivate full-grown men and women to forsake all else (common sense, principle, honor, loyalty) to bask in the ego-boosting prose of such as the NYT.

Specter must be smoking his post-orgasm cigarette right about now.

Mitch McConnell should remove him from the Judiciary Committee for this act of treason (treason to the party AND to the nation).

He flushed our country down the toilet for a pet project deal made at a Super Bowl Party. You think our govt. doesn’t need an overhaul? Or is their even enough of an honest govt left to overhaul?

And, with any luck at all, it will result in a dose of the political clap.
