Stem Cell Research

One of the great things obout being an independent thinker like me is that you get to look at things from an objective viewpoint.

President Bush's announcement that he will veto any bill coming out of Congress that would open up new lines and ways to do stem cell research is what I would have expected. The President will not fund stem cell research in any meaningful manner. The rest of the world and private businesses will pour huge amounts of money into this progressive and lucrative enterprise whose goal is to alleviate some of the most deadly diseases known.

President Bush knows this and he knows that there is not a damned thing he can really do to stop stem cell research. So why will he veto any bill?

He is appealing to 'The Base'.
