Very true!
And then, because if you give 'em an inch they want a mile, instead of slipping their boondoggle embryonic stem cell bill into a omnibus bill or another one they knew Bush would sign, they grandstanded with a separate bill which they knew he would veto. So they could convince idiots that Bush is "against science."
Then legions of goobs such as Chris here, think Dems are all about more stem cell research, when actually, obviously it's just the opposite. Because they could have gotten most anything they wanted out of Bush.
They didn't really want it for anything other than a political football, and the dupes bought it! And where is it now, dupeass dolts? Why weren't there billions for it in the stimulus bill? Why not billions for it in the omnibus spending package just approved? The Dems have total control now, and still no more funding for embryonic stem cell research? Egads!
Because it is coming in a seperate bill....
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two prominent supporters of stem cell research said on Thursday they had reintroduced a Senate bill that would allow federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research, in anticipation of President Barack Obama's support for the work.
Senators Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, and Arlen Specter, a Republican from Pennsylvania, said their bipartisan measure would allow federal funding for research using stem cells taken from human embryos left over from fertility treatments.
"It is the same bill that both houses of Congress approved in 2007, but was vetoed by President Bush," they said in a statement.
Obama has promised to overturn Bush's policy that strictly limited the use of federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.
Many groups that support embryonic stem cell research have been eagerly waiting for him to do so, but White House spokesman Robert Gibbs has hinted that Obama would prefer to wait and do something in concert with Congress.
"For too long, political interference has delayed research that holds the promise for millions of Americans who suffer from a wide range of diseases," Harkin said in a statement.
