Yesterday, President Bush vetoed a bill that would have expanded stem cell research. Sen. Harkin, a longtime advocate of stem cell research, sent out this response...
President Bush's veto pen has again irresponsibly halted important stem cell research legislation that offered hope to millions of Americans suffering from diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, heart disease, cancer, and in my nephew's case, spinal cord injuries.
I have fought tirelessly on this issue because I know first-hand how frustrating it is for families to watch this president deny us the opportunity to find cures for our loved ones.
A great majority of the American people, a bipartisan majority in Congress, and scientists across this country understand that there is no alternative to the promise offered by embryonic stem cell research.
History will show that this president repeatedly stood in the way of remarkable scientific progress, ignoring the requests of prominent members of his own party and turning a cold heart to millions of American families that battle these debilitating diseases everyday.
I promise to keep fighting for this legislation because I know that these cures are within our reach. We will continue to pursue expanded stem cell research funding until it becomes law -- for my nephew, Kelly, for every child battling juvenile diabetes, for every mother or father fighting multiple sclerosis, and for all of our family members, friends, and neighbors that hope for a cure to these and many other diseases everyday.
For them, the fight goes on because science is on our side, hope is on our side, and the American people are on our side

Geez, this is the lie that keeps on lying.
No one is keeping anyone from experimenting on embryonic stem cells; you can do it if you want to. The difference is that Bush does not want the Federal government to pay for it. What's wrong with that? Oh no, it might mean that Bush has ethics, something that is terribly lacking in the Party of Death?
Libs like to make it out that there is some sort of miracle cure from killing off not-yet-born babies. If there was such hope, why aren't private companies doing it now on their own dime? Why aren't venture capitalists funding them? It's because there is no hope in finding solutions from embryonic stem cells. It's all a big fraud!
Harkin is invested in the Party of Death - he and other babykilling enablers want the Federal government to pay for destroying human life at a stage that cannot defend itself. Harkin's rhetoric is so full of pomp and piss that it's a wonder he can walk through a hallway without getting caught in it.
You have some good points and I agree with some of them. I would counter that a lot of advances in medicene and technology were done with federal investments.
I am a liberal because I feel that the Bible directs us to take care of each other and our environment. I am not a baby killer and to call me and other Liberals that is, to be kind, inflammatory. The US government pays to kill people all the time.
Christi, I don't disagree with you that the Lord does call us to be kind to others and to what He has provided for us (the environment). I absolutely believe in that. However, Liberals are more likely to support the murder of unborn children than conservatives. That is a true statement. Maybe you're not really a liberal, but associate yourself with them because you don't like the other side very much.
