Politics - 21 July 2006

There is NO stem cell research ban. None. There is only a ban on FEDERAL FUNDING of reearch. If you are John Kerry you could sell a couple million shares of Heinz Ketchup stock and fund it for a year. If you're Bill Gates rich, you could fund it forever. There is absolutely no ban on PRIVATE funding of stem cell research.

Personally, I'm not against stem cell research per se, but I do think(1) Any public funding of controversial things should be done with great care (2) If stem cell research was that promising, you'd have pharmaceutical and medical companies tripping over each other trying to fund the best medical minds. This isn't happening, folks, because it is a medical dead end.

Still, why does the media NEVER report that there really is no ban on research only a ban on federal funding of such research. There IS a difference.

Should I start the National Association for the Advancement of White People? The goal of the group would not be to hurt anybody else, just to help all the whities out there. And should we let Asians in? They don't have any race based groups helping them.

They are frozen embryos that were adopted instead of discarded.
they were the kids that were behind Bush at his stem cell vetoe announcement.
They were there to convince people that frozen embryos are actually human lives.

Bush forgot to mention that those kids wouldn't even exist without.....are you ready for it........EXTENSIVE STEM CELL RESEARCH!

He doesn't believe in federally funded stem cell research because, and I quote, "American taxpayers shouldn't pay for murder."

Then what the hell did we do in Iraq?

35000+ civilian lives lost.

I guess what he meant was taxpayers should only pay for government approved murder.

I'M GEORGE W. BUSH , AND I APPROVED THIS MASSACRE

the role of the president as leader of the free world is to have diplomatic relations with other nations and respect there input and feedback. and to use military action-when absolutely necessary. the role of our president is to send troops as a last course of action. some of the neo-cons either dont care, ignore this, or are misinformed of the role of the president.

And if so what exactly do they do? I am not trying to be funny or disrespectful in any way I would just like to see what if any good they do. Most of what I hear from the NAACP are nut bags like this Dick Gregory guy spouting far fetched conspiracy theories about the governments secret plans to hurt or kill black people.

It is YOUR fault we have high oil prices. We have plenty of oil on our own lands but the problem is that they are on government land. Who keeps them from opening up this land... hippy liberals. How can you blame Bush, that is outrageous. Oil is a commodity, supply and demand rule the price not the president. There is simply not enough being produced to meet the world's demand. Open up our govt. lands for drilling (maybe hurting a little wildlife) and oil prices will go down within the next 5 years or so.

Actually, what he said was that his ideal culture is "one where every human life is treated as precious."
Really?
You mean like the 35000+ civilian lives taken in Iraq?
Why are frozen embryos in a lab "precious human lives", but innocent Iraqis "collateral damage"?

i find it amusing a president that cuts pell grants for college, head start, and work training programs had the nerve to stress ownership in his speech. education is the key to learning how to run a business mr.president, not everybody was born to a rich oil tycoon. you just dont say hey i want to start and own a business. maybe bush did and that is why he failed as a businessman.

for you poeple that support the war iniraq, why iraq? i beleive there are many other countries that are proven more dangerous to america than iraq has ever been. for example north korea and iran. north korea is activly pursueing nuclear weapons but yet america just says diplomacy must work with them. iran is highly suspected of pursueing nuclear weapons and has definite hatred of america but yet we don't give them an ultimatium and attack, america just wants to talk talk talk.

but when it came to iraq, hardly any diplomacy or anything like they are doing with NK and iran, america just attacked, why is that?

I understand that a combination of the 2 is preferred BUT - I like to know the principles of the person I voted for. I do not like politicians who govern on a whim. Meaning - they go with whatever feels good to them on that day ( a la Bill Clinton).

Due to his war on the middle east and the fact that the man cant even talk right, how long before we can officially consider him a lame duck? He has not done one great thing since he has been in office besides starting a never ending war or "conflict" in the middle east.

Weren't you neodems (since you guys like to say neocons) crying about how much money Bush spends?

Didn't Clinton cut funding to these education programs to achieve his 'surplus'?

Isn't there STILL more funding to these programs under Bush than there was under Clinton?

Why are you neodems such hypocrites?

It irritates me that we are considered allies of the US because of that shameless lapdog Blair.

The reality that the PEOPLE here did not want to support the US (especially if we had been told the truth about WMDs)

Or do they only steal from the party they are most like? Perot stole from Bush Sr. and Nader stole from Gore and Kerry. Do you think for national elections it should be only the top 2 with the best chance to win?
