The last stem, err, I mean straw
« on: July 19, 2006, 01:33:54 PM »
Once a supporter, albeit never a huge one, I am now officially a huge supporter of the end of his administration.

Stem cell veto


I honestly think that this man may be getting dumber by the day. He should go back to the blow and booze. It may make all our lives a bit easier.

He can take his moral boundary and shove it as far as I'm concerned.

I can see no reason for the veto except to keep the religious right happy.  It makes no logical sense otherwise.  Unfortunately it looks like there will not be enough votes to override the veto.

What I don't get is.... why????

Idiot can't run again, so why not go out and do at least one thing right? Is he really a religious fanatic? I was convinced that he was doing it for the same reason that all politicians in high office do anything--to garner more votes. Apparently, that was a pipe dream.

Bush has recently said things like 'yo' and '****', and now he feels righteous to use his veto right, just because it's not proper to murder humans.. err.. I mean stem cells...   ??

As if he doesn't have anything more important at his hands.

nope - unlike the other side- he just stands by his convictions

they knew he was going to veto it when they sent it up.. maybe the why?? belongs there ..

Good for him.

Maybe this marks the end of the Bush spending spree.

I thought his "call out" of the senate during his speech this afternoon was well done.  Though from all of these responses, I can tell none of you caught it.


Basically he said that medical research is not worth corrupting human life by the trafficking of human fetuses.

He then went on to describe how the other stem cell research, that which is not derived or taken from the bodies of dead babies, was canned in Congress through basically a procedural veto.


So for some people, stem cell research doesn't mean anything unless you're killing babies to do it.

Maybe the democrats are trying to establish a stepping stone to make abortions more morally right.

Anyone know how many times Bush has actually used his Veto power while in office?

He has threatened plenty but the last I remember hearing he hasnt used it once yet.

Bush Makes History. 5 years without saying "no"

In any event it doesnt really matter.
If it doesnt pass in this administration it is almost sure to the next.
Its comming, its just a matter of when

LOL, it would be worth 4 years of Hillary just to see the Lazs / Riptard / Eagler meltdown trifecta. I want to see how "American" they really are and how they stand behind Mrs. President.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

I'm voting for Hillary.  She might not be pretty, but since shes got something to prove, she'll put-out something fierce.
