Bush To Veto Funding of Stem Cell Research Posted by Ron Chusid July 10th, 2006 @ 8:33 pm George Bush might finally have something to veto. The Denver Post reports that, according to Karl Rove, "President Bush will likely cast the first veto of his presidency if the Senate, as expected, passes legislation to expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research." This, along with attacking gay marriage and promoting an anti-flag burning amendement, will help excite the base. Maybe it will work. However on this issue Bush is on the wrong side, both ethically and in terms of what the majority of voters want. Are there enough fanatic authoritarian right wing voters out there to outweigh the will of the majority of voters (who are also less likely to vote in off year elections)? We'll see in November.

Hello Howard Dean? Are you watching? Big Roy Says: July 10th, 2006 at 10:00 pm This is probably the one of the few issues I totally disagree with Bush on. We need more funding in all areas of medical research. Most basic research wouldn't be done if it wasn't for federal funding. I don't want to have to rely on the greedy pharmaceuticals. Rayilyn Brown Says: July 11th, 2006 at 8:44 am I disagree with Bush on everything, but his impending veto of stem cell research affects me personally. I have Parkinson's disease and do not share his faith-based delusion that microscopic undifferentiated cells are people. This veto will be his worst crime against humanity as it affects millions of actual living suffering people. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
