It only says PUBLIC funds can't be used to pursue such research. There is NO legal prohibition against it as long as you use your own money. The taxpayers should not be forced to pay for ethically controversial science.

you miss the point..

the MSM touted, loudly, his decision to lift federal funding..this reversal will be met with complete silence (except for CNS, I can’t find this information anywhere)..so from a liberals perspective, all is now right with the world and stem cell research can begin again (even though it was never stopped in the private sector using strictly private funds).

liberals heads will explode when they find this out, but since it won’t be on PMSNBC,CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN etc., they won’t find out..

I have a liberal friend I’m going to forward this to (who was jumping for joy when ears signed the first bill), then I’m going to sit back and watch him spin in circles..

Bambi is so dumb he didn’t realize it. He obviously didn’t even have staff members read the bill to find out what was in it. What a dim bulb.

Perhaps they were all busy preparing their 2008 tax returns

Obamunism is a mental disorder.

“so let me get this right. Obama legalized something that was illegal but then turned around and made it illegal again. Only Obama could do something like that.”

One fence, paint both sides. What’s the problem?

Do any of y’all actually, honestly, believe that Barry the Big Zero read the bill before signing it? Heck ... I doubt if any Congressthings or Senaturds read the whole thing, either.

LOL. This was brilliant.

Now they have to fix it legislatively.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless America.

That's not really the closing salutation, is it?

Which God is he talking about?

I think he's mocking Christians, myself. The same way as if I closed correspondence with "Satan be praised" if it was addressed to people who were largely muslim.

Found in Section 509 of Title V of the omnibus bill (at page 280 of the 465-page document)...

Better read all 465 pages. I wouldn't put it past this guy to have "exceptions" hidden within the bill.

Was he against it before he was for it or for it before he was against it or both? I’m apparently as confused as he is on his stance.

And theres the crux of the matter in my opinion. It never was against the law to study it, you just couldnt use tax dollars. I never have got a satisfactory answer to one small question.

From a capitalist point of view only. If Fetal stem cells are everything they say, and would change medicine as we know it, etc,,, wouldnt it be a no brainer that some private money would happily fund it? It would be like inventing viagra 50 times over.

Kind of odd that *nobody* with a little money thought there was much chance to make the crippled walk again there, huh? Usually capitalists never miss a chance at the big “sure thing”. Curious.

I think the Wicker in question is indeed Roger Wicker, but he “did good” not this year, but way back in 1995 when the provision was put into law (remember, it also has the name of the other co-sponsor, Congressman Dickey of Arkansas, who lost reelection way back in 2000).

The Dickey-Wicker language from 1995 is certainly something for which Wicker should be commended, but I think that Gov. Barbour’s appointment of Wicker to the Senate was just about the worst thing he could do, since it gave a House seat to the RATs, almost cost us what should have been a safe Senate seat (Chip Pickering would have won without breaking a sweat), and now the nation is stuck with a Senator that not only is addicted to pork but that is in the pocket of corrupt and anti-American politicians in Puerto Rico (such as former Gov. Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá, an anti-American liberal Democrat whom Wicker endorsed in a TV ad alongside the likes of Ted Kennedy, James Clyburn and Bob Menendez and who is currently undergoing a federal corruption trial).
