Science's most horrific invention is the nuclear weapon. It saves lives by taking lives, just like stem cell research (assuming you consider embryos to be lives) Yet he seems to have no problems with all the talk of developing new nuclear weapons, those bunker busters and the like. It's inconsistent and hypocritical, and thus indefensible?

Well said, the hypocrisy runs deep. Bush has only been successful this long because of his pit bulls of spin Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh and Rupert Murdock to name a few.
Many of his base voters are one issue voters and go on faith, not knowledge. I believe a wave of change is coming as more people are figuring out his real agenda is not very Christian.

I'm a Democrat, but try not to be too much of a Bush-basher, and I hate generalizations, as others who have read my answers know.
In matters of war vs. defense, we have to be as prepared as the enemy. It's a whole different situation than stem cell research. I don't think the administration's desire to develop nuclear weapons for defense purposes is hypocritical. Are we supposed to just sit around and wait until the next terrorist attack? I am altogether opposed to the war, but since we're in the midst of it, it's unconscionable not to be able to meet any potential enemy on its own terms.

To me morality itself is subjective (and therefore inconsistent).The only real difference is that some people use a predominant set of morals (in his case those derived from Christianity) to manipulate for personal gain. And no, it's not defensible in my opinion, but it has worked for him and as long as it continues to do so, he will use it.

DUHbya, Bin Laden, Kim Jong IL, the nut from Iran; the pattern among all these criminals against humanity is obvious. The bottom line is whatever generates $$$ for them and their cronies at the expense of innocent citizens. It's obscene.

Nuclear weapons are a necessity and nobody is really pro-life. Bush is just another person that doesn't practice what he preaches.

He has issues with that. You see, Bush has always played the morality card to appease the Christian Conservative movement, who helped him get elected in office twice. All he's doing is telling Americans that abortion, gay marriage, and other things are totally immoral! I call that a third-degree count of incompetence on his count!

Bush has never been too consistent. (On an aside, that Feelgood clone is a tool!!!)

Bush, in general, is inconsistent.

Plus, he has no qualms in sending soldiers to Iraq because "that man tried to kill my daddy."
