Surprisingly, this comes from CNN...

Well, maybe there is such a thing as evolution. . .

The left is going to have to find another way to ease their collective guilt over abortion.

When I wrote ‘America, We Need To Talk’, right after Bush blocked federal funding for any new embryonic stem cell lines, I stated then that the goal of working with ESC was to understand how the progression occurs, what enzymes, etc are involved, and to learn if science may ‘back cells up’ along that line of progression, to derive cell lines for certain targeted body tissues. The ideal would be to be able to do that with a patient’s own cells, but researchers would try to develop genetic grouping cell lines to treat diseases in genetically similar peoples. In an odd sort of way, we can thank ol’ George Bush the younger for this advancement ... but then, entrepreneurial advance happens best when federal funding is withheld.

It’s all about the funding, stupid.

Bush’s Fault?

Some advice....

When you’re fighting two wars and want to seem credible to the public as a war leader.....don’t try to sell yourself as a bleeding heart....

It really hurt Republicans after a while for them to be arguing that we were so full of “love” for Muslims that we were fighting two wars....

Or that men and women needed to fight and kill and be killed or maimed.....but Bush’s heart and Santorum’s heart were bleeding for frzoen embroyos...

I don’t like government subsidizing the creation of an embryo-farming industry, either-—but in fact, it’s hard to sell yourselves as both warriors AND bleeding hearts.

Republicans started sounding phoney and lost the Catholic vote because of it.....I think most of all, it’s Catholics who move between the two parties more than any other people....

I think that the argument against stem-cell funding using embryos should have been the common sense fiscal conservative one-—that we didn’t have the money just to fund just one kind of open-ended research over others at a time when we need to hold spending down because of war and the Boomer’s retirement...

Better to offer rewards for actual cures than fund the research/ Plus, funding such research creates a feedback loop of corruption...

Our money goes to fund the research and they keep telling us “the cure is in the mail” and we have NO PROOF that they are spending the money wisely—but they keep on kicking back part of the money in campaign contributions to keep the gravy train rolling......and the politicians who fund the gravy train stay in office to dole out pork for many years....

Then IF a cure is found, the researches patent it and cash in on it and the taxpayer never gets paid back....in fact, we pay for it AGAIN....when patients start receiving the treatments....
