Michael Fox barely twitched in his support ad for Arlen Specter. Nary a sway or flopping around to be seen. Funny that, when compared to Missouri AD. Kind of puts the lie to the matter, doesn't it.
"Couric: You, Tom Harkin, and Arlen Specter. You're like tight.
Michael J. Fox: Yeah. Strange bedfellows. But he's been an amazing champion of medical science."

Ummm no. It's a degenerative disease. The Arlen ad is from over 2 years ago. It doesn't prove anything, but I could I guess show you pictures of me at 18 which will prove that the weight gain since then is false using your logic.
Well, he is two years farther into his disease.
What difference does it make what he looked like in the Ads? That was Rush's thing, we don't have to defend Rush when he is stupid.
As conservatives, we bristle when the left ignores the facts and attacks side issues. Well, Fox's appearance is a side issue that has no bearing on the real issue, which is that he lied about Talent, and is backing Cardin who voted AGAINST stem cell research.
And he falsely claimed the embryonic stem cell research was "restricted" when in fact Bush expanded it by allowing federal dollars for some research, and there are NO restrictions on the research being proposed, just limits on FEDERAL FUNDING.
And he falsely claimed that embryonic stem cell research was the "most promising", when in fact it is simply the most "speculative". All other stem cell projects have acheived real successes.
The only think embryonic research has going for it is that nobody has wasted their time much on it yet, so scientists could jump in and make a lot of money and build power bases with research hiring and operations if they could just get funding -- and since there's little hope for the research, there isn't much funding so they need the federal government to waste OUR tax dollars on it.
The idea that a multi-millionare like Michael Fox is using his disease to try to steal MY hard-earned money in tax dollars to pay for HIS cure should be laughable.
It's like Bill Gates suggesting we should pay for his dinner.
