Monday Morning Political Rant

Stem Cells this week...

As I was re-reading this piece from last week in the Washington Post, one thing kept standing out - and that's how Bush is being completely hypocritical when he continues to veto Stem Cell legislation.

One one hand, he continues to call it immoral and insists that scientific advances allow researchers to pursue research without destroying human embryos. Yet on the other, he's gushing about private sector research. Wasn't it just a few days ago that Tony Snow said the White House wants to “encourage” privately-funded embryonic stem-cell research? He practically boasted about the “billions of dollars available in the private sector to make such research possible.”

It's hard to argue that Bush isn't a puppet to behind the scenes special interests. And it's sad they're keeping us from investing in potentially lifesaving research.
