Yes, I knew.
+3I can't wait for the answers from those who thought Obama was a HERO for this embryonic stem-cell research "change".
No. He needed the Christian right votes to steal another term in office.
Because he couldn't curb the research far enough, does not mean he didn't hinder it.
Stemcell research, however, was...and we advanced a lot in that matter under the Bush administration.
How is Stem so bad it need be hindered? Please, I really want to know.
*knock knock...anyone in there???*
EMBRYONIC stem cell is bad...so hindering it was a good thing...we would have killed babies for no reason.
REGULAR stem cell is not....we didn't hinder this and hense good things have come out of it.
Really?
Are you playing dumb or are you dumb for real??? Unbelievable.
but on this issue...not sure I follow you....what's your point?
Protect our freedoms. Have a strong national defense. Look at and take care of our borders. Have a sound currency. That was the responsibility of the federal government, not to run our lives and run everything in the economy and extend the interstate-commerce clause and the general-welfare clause to do anything they want to do.
You know, the WOD didn't start bugging me until the day I was cleaning my AK and heard Bill Bennett (the clown who cribbed the "Book of Virtues") talking about how "assault weapons" were the "weapons of choice" of "drug dealers". I stopped the bore cleaning in mid stroke, looked up at the TV and went "Uh, oh".
We remember those life changing moments, when the people whom we thought were our friends suddenly weren't so friendly after all. I think that moment was the beginning of the end of a second term for Bush Sr. Sure left me cold by 1992.
I must have missed that.
He supported the advancement. It happened under HIS administration moron.
Al Gore. The Internet.
You guys gave him total shit for that, why can't I give Bush shit for the same sort of claim?
[edited reply to your edit]
I'm a stalker for responding to an open poll I didn't even look to see who posted?
"During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet..."
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/...
Snopes printed this quote out in its entirety but then excused Gore by saying he was not really thinking this while he said it, but then took him to task for some "silly political posturing". I guess if a person says something in a campaign contest we ought to doubt him or her if it sounds silly?
In any case, Gore got what was coming to him, even if some of the lefties who did help found the Internet let him off of the hook.
Bush is to credit for stem cell research advances = appropriated money for it.
Bush could not have appropriated Federal money for anything, only Congress can allocate money. The President either approves or disapproves. Right?
Aside that the man was a gigantic disappointment.
He allowed the EPA to ram all sorts of crap onto us, such as banning small two cycle motors, parts per billion ozone regs and so on. He did nothing to stifle James Hansen, who continued to vomit his pseudo-science to the world from his bully pulpit at NASA. Bush did nothing to curb the largess which drives "Climate Science" but did cut funding for Langley Research Center and other useful institutions in the US.
"No Child Left Behind" and "Prescription Drug" benefits were the largest entitlements since Lyndon Johnson created that horrorshow known as "medicare".
Bush did not rein in a GOP Congress which could not control its spending by using his veto pen. That would have been wonderful, and might have taught those characters some fiscal discipline. Maybe they would have kept Congress?
Hell, maybe someone like Ron Paul might have been taken more seriously instead of being branded a "kook" by both the Liberals and their "me too" chorus that we laughingly call "Neo-Cons". It's a pretty sad state of affairs when a man as sensible as Ron Paul is branded a kook by "Conservatives".

Lasty, Iraq. The unnecessary war, based upon the false premise that Saddam Hussein actually had something to do with 9/11. Saudi Arabia had more to do with 9/11 than Saddam. Plus "nation building" in Afghanistan, the grave yard of empires.
I was a Conservative in 1980, back when it was not only not cool to be a Conservative but kind of dangerous to one's health. I voted for Reagan. Twice.
I would have turned up my nose at Bush if he'd been old enough to run in 1980. "Compassionate Conservatism". Compassionate to whom? Not productive people, and not the taxpayers.
