Stem Cells: The Ultimate Fundamentalist Hypocrisy

[aftermid 0]

'In the case of the stem cell bill, Bush left no room for compromise. Using federal money for research on new stem cell lines - even those derived from embryos created for fertility treatments and otherwise slated for disposal, as specified in the measure - would mean sanctioning the destruction of human life, the president says.'

How does he explain killing 50,000+ Iraqi civillians? I'd say he doesn't have much of a problem sanctioning the destruction of human life. I guess it all depends on how you define life. I think it is quite scary that in 21st century the most powerful country on earth could elect such a backwoods leader. Just remember this is the same guy when asked about evolution his response was: "the jury's still out on that one"

although I agree with your intentions, this is a pretty simplistic & unrealistic way of arguing your point.

That argument was all over the loony-left websites yesterday, so it's no surprise it showed up here.

Kewl... yall are still swimming in the morality cesspool yet again.

Muslim lives are way less valuable than American cells.

Bush has NO UNDERSTANDING of science, so this should not surprise anyone. On the plus side, most Americans disagree, and this will hurt the cons in Nov.

I don't think Amazon assigned you to one end of the morality cesspool or another; she just pointed out that you are swimming in it.

Apparently, you don't know Amazon very well.

Oh come on now Karl.. you support everthing else lock stock and barrel this administration does....

Remember when you ran him on MORALS issues...all the hot button crap the Ultra Right has been forcing down our throats for the last 6 years..

Your MORAL MAJORITY is certainly not moral... scnadals.. bearing false witness....WAR( yeah that is the ultimate form of hatred you always acuse anyone who does not agree with you of being filled with)...incompetence....arrogance.....gee all such good Christian Values as found in Biblical Scripture.;

When I look at bush and this admin the following Einstein quote seems to fit:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Obviuosly Bush has never had a loved one who was is paralized or lost a limb.

It is just ignorant religious beliefs that are getting in the way.

I bet if his daughters had a massive accident and were left paralized, he would think twice about stem cell research.

It is fucking amazing the way people think.

Bush just vetoed the bill. His first veto ever. I don't think there is any doubt that the religious right has immense power over your current president.

Can't veto any bills that toss money around like leaves, but one that could save lives...that gets vetoed.

bleh.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

A true sign of the times that valuable scientific research is being restricted by the personal beliefs of our chief executive. His level of micro management makes the average bureacracy look downright flexible.

Not only is GWB a moron, but he's a very dangerous moron.

There we can agree on something right?

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

What a goof. I'm expecting any day now that he will take the conspiracy theorist side in the debate over whether the moon landings were faked or not.

I guess fair is fair though. The Reagan's consulted astrologers.

At least Clinton was a good old-fashioned guy who just wanted to get laid.

I'll take hot-for-the-babes over Bible-thumping senility or Bible-thumping fundamentalism anyday.

What? Signing statements are outta vogue now?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Well, even if his reasoning is flawed and his positions are hypocritical, Bush at least got this one right.

Edit: Right in the sense that there shouldn't be federal funding for stem cell research.

Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.

Hell I would lay odds of 100 to 1 that if one of them got pregnant they would find some discreet offshore clinic to get rid of it.. just like back in the good ole days when it was legal elsewhere but back-alley coat hanger time here in the US of A.....and the rich sent their " problems" offshore to clinics rather than sending them to the poor but pregnant...unmarried mothers homes.

Should be no surprise to you that he Vetoed this bill. He made it clear way back that he would, and there does not appear to be enough votes to over ride the veto.

Adult stem cells have proved to be far more effective for several decades now.

So lets all move along now to other topic of interest, this one is getting old.

not saying how I feel about this, but let's keep in mind that Bush vetoed FEDERAL FUNDING of stem cell research; he did not ban it from being done.
