Thomas Jefferson, 1781


"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. "
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

Bush Veto of Stem Cell Research - Ignorance

Bush will keep you in a wheel chair because of his screwed view of ethics.

Question; You are in a laboratory with 10 embryos of 150 cells each in a test tube and a little 2 year old girl is sitting in the corner. Suddenly there is a fire, you can only save the test tube (with 10 embryos) or the little girl.. what do you do? I thought so. You save the girl... EVERYBODY would save the little girl. You know the embryos are not the same thing as human life.
How would Bush answer this question?

FROM MSNBC:
Bush to stem cell community: Drop dead
President's veto of embryonic research funding reflects incoherent policy

COMMENTARY
By Arthur Caplan, Ph.D.
MSNBC contributor
Updated: 2:02 p.m. ET July 19, 2006

President Bush’s embryonic stem cell policy began with lies and has now ended with one.
Bush reserved his first veto as president for one of the only valuable things this do-almost-nothing Congress has managed to actually get done.
............
An administration that has shown itself over and over again to have trouble telling the truth is now telling Americans in wheelchairs, those with damaged hearts, babies who are diabetic and those left immobile by Parkinsonism not to worry. The president, whose grasp of science left him unable to identify creationism as a fundamentally religious idea, and his trusty sidekick Karl Rove, rarely seen in a white lab coat but who knows something about rats, having been in Washington for some time now, claim to know best which medical research is most likely to benefit diseased Americans in the future.
............
The president has now told doctors, researchers and patients to drop dead. Science policy in the Bush administration is best made in the White House, not by scientists and not by Congress.
