sandie.. I believe that Bush is a republican lite so far as welfare state goes... he is not a full blown democrat but allmost half as bad as that.
Given the alternatives... we had no choice. kerry and co would have continued the welfare state slide at an alarming rate... they would also have appointed liberal judges and continued and encouraged the anti gun nuts.
We had no choice...
I think it would be ironic and plausible that the government not getting "involved" in stem cell would make the private and state sector do that much better a job and "ironic" that something real come out of it.
It would also be "ironic" if government sponsored stem cell led to the same thing as government sponsored (rebates) solar hot water heaters of the 80's... every sleaze ball contractor who could throw up a system no matter how lousy.... mining the government for gold and all the rest of us being cheated out of real progress because the real research was not where the money was.
