Pres. Bush's First Veto is Set to Deny Stem Cell Legislation

Congress is set to debate stem cell research this week and Pres. Bush is set to use his veto power for the first time in his Presidency. More on that misleading statement later and I would suggest you read on because if you think it’s a big deal that Pres. Bush has never vetoed a single bill sent to him by Congress, you are living in exactly the same kind of delusional dreamworld as the President himself. But first, let’s get to the subject of stem cell research.

Whether you are for or against stem cell research really isn’t at issue here. Literally. The President of the United States, George W. Bush, has decided once again to chart the course of American lives by making a completely unilateral based on misinformation and incomplete information and, ultimately the wishes and desires of those who would turn American into even more of a Christian theocracy than it already is. The bill before Congress would would simply expand federal aid for stem cell research. Opponents insist that stem cell research is immoral; never mind the immorality of not being able to cure diseases because the research needed interferes with one’s religious views. Recent polls suggest that 70% of American support federally funding stem cell research that might result in a cure for such diseases as diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
