What does George Bush have against America? That's what I wonder.


He and his Christian Fundamentalist base are not stopping the research from happening. Most stem cell research is occurring overseas, in places such as South Korea. All they are doing is: Americans (still) can not do needed research, Americans (still) can not publish papers (since the research is non-existent), Americans (still) can not patent products which arise (since the research is non-existent), and ultimately the American bio-tech industry can not profit (because of the non-existent research).


Oh, the American Capitalism of stem cell research aside, where is his American Compassion for the Americans and humans world-wide who will, bottom line, suffer since the pharmaceuticals which do result from bio-medical research will not be there for them?


How can GW BUSH be so against research which has such a potential? The GOOD vastly outweighs the BAD.


Much like Ronald Reagan suffered from Alzheimer’s as some type of divine retribution for not increasing research into Alzheimer’s when he was president, GW BUSH should hope and pray no such aliments, such as certain cancers, inflict him in his old age.

I think GWB and his Reds are just plain hatin' on our American values, is all.

They should move to IraqIranAfghanistan where they'd fit right in.

If anyone is interested on a commentary on the executive order W issued along with his veto, check out my analysis. It's a little more focused than surfing rats.

What else do you expect from a man who says he represents a "culture of life" yet has no qualms about killing innocent people in a bullshit war?

I long for the day he gets Parkinsons...

I really think that the Dems should make a commercial. Hold up a vial of stem cells (or petri dish or whatever) and say, "These stem cells are an excess product of helping a family have a child. These could be used to cure Parkinson's, help people walk again, or help millions of people, but they can never, ever, ever be used to create new life. Because of George Bush's veto, there is no funding to help the suffering. As such, there is only one choice in what to do with these." Then pour the bleach in, shake it up, and pour it down the drain.
