Terrific ad. Show it at the national level.
October 26th, 2006 at 6:06 pmAwsome ad!!!
October 26th, 2006 at 6:09 pmGood ad.
The Stem Cell advocates should go for broke and ask Nancy Reagan to appear in an ad next.
October 26th, 2006 at 6:12 pmOk.
I know it was aimed at tugging at the heart strings.
So when I watched it, I was skeptical.
By the end, I cried.
October 26th, 2006 at 6:16 pmReally. I’m not a weenie. You won’t tell anyone, will you?
good idea peter…!
October 26th, 2006 at 6:16 pmok..I’ve been a weenie 2 times this week…MJF and this.
October 26th, 2006 at 6:18 pmBy the end, I cried.
Really. I’m not a weenie. You won’t tell anyone, will you?

Oh, you bleeding heart liberal, you =)
October 26th, 2006 at 6:27 pm( that’s a good thing in my book )
oh blue – you are a weenie, it’s true :-) … you’re the most emotional person in this blog, if it’s possible to determine that…
it got me too… but i cry at commercials (remember the dove ads for girls self-respect? – that’s one)…
it’s a damn good ad – needs to be national…
October 26th, 2006 at 6:36 pm.
Shhhhh,
October 26th, 2006 at 6:37 pmWayne, don’t tell anyone.
;)
katy,
I’m a stone.
Really.
…..really…..
Damn!
October 26th, 2006 at 6:39 pmI’m not fooling anyone here, am I? How do you people know??
Oh, this is that SLEAZY ad with some little girl saying that Rep. X wants her to get diabates.
Sleaze.
October 26th, 2006 at 6:41 pmNo!
You didn’t watch it.
She’s diagnosed with diabetes.
Nice heart ya got there, Jake.
October 26th, 2006 at 6:47 pm11— Jake is obviously a stone hearted RePIGlican, who didn’t actually watch the ad.
October 26th, 2006 at 7:27 pmThe truth is better than sentimentality
American’s are such suckers for sentimentality – the flag, stem cell research, and the predictable end to sitcome episodes.
October 26th, 2006 at 7:35 pmAll of this preoccupation with stem cell research and cures for terminal illnesses is a futile waste of speech and thought.
October 26th, 2006 at 7:40 pmGiven that in about 43 years, this planet will require two planets worth of resources to maintain the current level of consumption.
Two questions……
A) Where is a second planet to be found to start stripping, and I mean, like now……..
B) Which nation on Earth is going to suffer the most dramatic and painful reduction in its lifestyle?
They are also using this ad in Upstate New York against Repug Congressman Walsh. Wonderfully powerful ad.
October 26th, 2006 at 7:44 pmYes, it is a real ad. I know a little girl just like this one with diabetes. The rational thing to do is proceed with the research. Those eight cell blastocyst, by products on in vitro fertilization are destined to be dumped as medical waste. Also my sister suffered for 20 years with renal failure and died of medical error at age 51.
Everyone who has seen the horrors of serious chronic illness know the right thing to do is proceed with the research.
But we know these republicans, supported by the radical christian right have no problem throwing money into more war and not a cent into medicince and science. Why is this? Because poppa Bush and his cronies are invested in Carlye that owns 70% of military contractors.
We need to clean house of the repug thugs.
October 26th, 2006 at 7:57 pmI hope it will able to cure my wife of Lupus soon. I live in painful. F* Crazy Christians vote against stem cell. I’m willing sell my soul for Satan if he can cure my wife.
October 26th, 2006 at 8:20 pmAnybody ever wonder at how little we change since childhood? Look at this home movie of Rush Limbaugh as a child and this YouTube film of him mocking Michael J. Fox last week.
October 26th, 2006 at 10:14 pmIt is no OK to invest in stem cells.
It is OK to invest in guns.
US is supposed (according to US citizens, go figure) to lead the world? I am out.
October 26th, 2006 at 11:27 pmThis is an issue that should have been hammered back in 04. I have Type II diabetes, and would appreciate further work on this; nevertheless I can survive with present medicines although I am not making plans for life beyond 65 or 70 at best. More importantly, my girlfriend’s 16 yo daughter’s Type I diabetes is effectively the same as her having no pancreas. I watched her take a blood sugar reading the other day and she had a 367. I would be in a coma with that. The poor girl probably won’t live to see 30. And these f**king bastards want to prevent research that might save this young, dynamic, intellegent young lady because of what their invisible friend in the sky says about blastocysts. To anyone opposed to stem cell research out there, I give you a hale and hearty “F**K YOU.” I would under normal circumstances never wish any ill upon anyone, but if you oppose this research, I hope you and everyone in your family is diagnosed with diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and every other disease for which relief or even a cure might be discovered through stem-cell research, and that you suffer all the hells that your superstitious nonsense prescribes for all sinners.

I agree, rationally. However, the Republicans win because they get right up in people’s bowels and make people feel. Dems are right 95% of the time but they lose because Pugs know how to pull the emotional strings. It is sad, but we need to use knee-jerk emotions to beat them instead of logic and competence.
