It seems obvious to me that neither ‘Brownshirt’, Bush or the poster (#32) has a a clue what a stem cell is. They should be forced to sit through a simple Biology class that would explain to them that this is nothing more than a cluster of cells that would fit on the head of a pin then ask them to point to anything that looks like a little girl or little boy. With that said ……………

I can think of one person in the White House who would benefit tremendously from a “stem cell transplant”…… one that would grow a brain!

Dear Mr. Snow,
Since the President believes using new lines of embryonic stem cells is, as you have said, tantamount to “murder”, will you be submitting legislation preventing any cures for Parkinson’s, paralysis, diabetes etc. that may be developed in morally corrupt foreign countries to be used in the United States ?

Other planks in the Grand Old Party’s platform are: we will lie to the American public (fundamental of Bar/Neil’s party’s platform). (true) We will deceive the American public. (true) We will pander to the religious fundamentalists, the Taliban excepted. (true) We will discard solid science and accept superstitions and myths. (true) Our Grand Old Party will damn the masses and favor the economically elite. (true) We will rape the environment. (true) We will pollute our earth’s thin atmosphere and exploit what natural resources remain. (true) We will assume an anti-intellectual posture and kick thinkers out of responsible governmental positions. (true) Our Grand Old Party will use any nefarious tactic, legal or illegal, to achieve one of our ends. (true) We will not be future-oriented or think causally. (true, as Katrina proved) We will nominate incompetent party loyalists or inept personal favorites to positions of considerable responsibility. (true) Our leader will not know grammar, geology, geography, international law, Constitutional law, or what constitutes appropriate behavior in another culture. (true) We will continuously damn judges and congressmen and congresswomen who do not support an unfettered, free-ranging Imperial Presidency. (true) And, our Grand Old Party will ignore the civil rights of people with phones, computers, medical records, bank accounts, library cards, or any other sources of information we may “mine” and exploit (in the name of national security). (true)

How can anyone with two thoughts above a ‘possum support such a gang?

I’m no OB/GYN, but I thought that embryos didn’t develope their own blood, and their own circulatory system until week 6-7.

Doesn’t that mean that “biblically speaking” – even GOD recognizes that these clumps of cells are “just” clumps of cells?

We hear all this BS about how Bush is butch and doesn’t cut and run and then he doesn’t have the guts to let people see him veto a bill. All hat and no cattle.

You guys are idiots. Have you even read the bill??? It was a horrible and broad bill. Why kill baby’s when you can take adult and embilical cord stem cells? And there is private funding for stem cells, so if you want them to continue, then donate your F*cking money. I don’t want my tax money being wasted on stem cell research. So get your heads out of ur A$$es and wisen up.

Obviously a reasonable, scientifically-minded person.

Marc, how about we use the same approach with the war in Iraq? You want it to continue, so you donate private funds. Then the rest of us won’t be forced to fund something that we find morally reprehensible. Does that work for you?

And by the way, this bill doesn’t prevent any kind of killing. The cells will now be discarded rather than used for life-saving research. That’s something most anti-research conservatives don’t seem to understand. But I can’t really blame them; they don’t know they’ve been lied to.

They are troglodytes with Old Testaments.

Vote the illiterate bastards out of office in November…Vote Democrat.

As far as all this about stem cell research, I wonder, will we soon require “menstral interventions” to save every womans egg that doesn’t get fertalized each month? I mean that is the same as letting a child die every time us guys don’t step up and get the job done. Isn’t it?
Or worse yet will there be a constitutional amendment banning masterbation? Aren’t us guys guilty of murdering millions of potential children everytime we ring the joy bell. Or maybe we should just hold responsible the sperm that don’t get the job done. Well anyway, Science be damned, emotional response has always been the best way to get the job done hasn’t it? I mean it got our “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq, didn’t it???????

Later

Point: Republicans change the subject to hot-button issues that play on voter fear of the unknown. They understand basic psychology.
Point: Republicans don’t actually care about those issues. They are simply tools of the game to win.
Point: Republicans word their messages in a way to change the subject and get the Democrats off subject.

Bar/Neil has accomplished this trick several times in this string. And pointed it out. And told you to stay on message or you’ll lose. This is the truth.

In another trick, elsewhere I noticed a political cartoon inked by a Republican that listed a bunch of so-called Democratic issues, and they really weren’t. Republicans keep pulling us off topic by defining OUR agenda.

We must respond to people who pull us off topic by understanding how they do this. We have our antennae up because we don’t want to be Swift-boated again, but there is a difference between responding ferociously to nasty charges from a well-funded organization and responding with name-calling to a possible troll.

The National Democratic Party and many, many good organizations are supplying talking points for dealing with Republican lies. The more we understand their language and tactics, the better we will be at turning and deflecting their garbage back onto them. And it can start by having the public on our side in something like stem cell research.

Make sure you don’t use their language–always examine it carefully for how it affects you and the average voter.

Good ole Republican speak, always there to unite us. If you had any BALLS,
you wouldn’t be a coward-ass Repub-nut.

Besides, I’d rather have brains, than balls.
