Even Republicans Think Bush Is A Religious Nutcase |
Republicans Try to Stave Off Bush Veto of Stem Cell Bill Being Debated
in the Senate
WASHINGTON Jul 18, 2006 (AP)- Debating science, ethics, morality and
humanity, the Senate prepared Tuesday to send a bill expanding federal
funding of embryonic stem cell research to an unreceptive President
Bush.
It wasn't a matter of simple party politics, however, as some of Bush
fellow Republicans launched a last-ditch lobbying effort to save the
bill from his veto.
Wrote California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger: "Mr. President, I urge you
not to make the first veto of your presidency one that turns America
backwards on the path of scientific progress and limits the promise of
medical miracles for generations to come."
And former first lady Nancy Reagan quietly made calls to a few senators
to try to build support toward a veto-proof margin. But no one was
predicting the legislation would win the required 67 votes.

Yeah, put that word "Try" in quotes, because I'd guess that they're
just playing election-year games.

Gee, how about that. The Republicans can't even muster up 20 senators
to vote for the bill.

That even one person out of 8,000,000,000 believes an embryonic cell
can feel pain
or can be "murdered," is one person too many.

Remember the Doonesbury about Bush hearing the cries of the stem cells?
Things probably will move forward about 1% by 4006.
