The Senate voted Tuesday after two days of emotional debate to expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, sending the measure to President Bush for a promised veto, the first of his presidency.
The bill passed 63-37, four votes short of the two-thirds majority that would be needed to override Bush's veto. The president left little doubt he would reject the bill despite late appeals on its behalf from fellow Republicans Nancy Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"The simple answer is he thinks murder's wrong," said White House spokesman Tony Snow.
"The president is not going to get on the slippery slope of taking something living and making it dead for the purposes of scientific research."
So our President would rather save the potential life of a bundle of cells then to have helped Christopher Reeve walk again. Or maybe help Stephen Hawkins to get some of the feeling back in some part of his crippled body.
This is what happens when you elect the village idiot to run the country. Or allow him and his cronies to steal the election. God I am tired of this asshole.
