Laura Bush on Michael J. Fox: ‘It’s Always Easy To Manipulate People’s Feelings’»

In an interview on C-Span, First Lady Laura Bush was asked about Michael J Fox’s advocacy for candidates who support embryonic stem cell research. Mrs. Bush responded that it was wrong for Fox and others to suggest that increased support for embryonic stem cell research could lead to cures for Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

She concluded with a thinly veiled critique of Fox: “It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.” Watch it:

Transcript:

Q: One of the issues that’s come up. Michael J. Fox. The whole issue of stem cell research. Your reaction to the events of the past week.

LAURA BUSH: Well, I don’t have any idea about any of those. I mean, I’ve watch on television just like you have. But the fact is President Bush is the only president that authorized funding for stem cell research. And, um, you know, it’s an issue that it’s easy to try to manipulate people’s feelings about and I understand that. My dad died of Alzheimer’s. You know, there’ s nothing I’d like more than to think there was a cure for Alzheimer’s. Especially before I get to be the age he is, but knowing also how he suffered. It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.

    You know, because her husband would never manipulate feelings such as fear, terror or xenophobia.


  2. profmarcus Says:

    she can count herself lucky her stepford-wife wiring didn’t malfunction as she was speaking… imagine an endless loop of “before i get to the age he is,” “before i get to the age he is,” before i get to the age he is…”

    And, yes, I DO take it personally


  3. Kippy Says:

    Hmmmmmmmmm…Can we look forward to Laura getting Alzheimer’s? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy…well, Maybe Her moronic Husband!


  4. Manuel Says:

    And conservatives have the nerve to call Hillary an insensitive woman !!


  5. William+Cormier Says:

    If the Bush administration was sincere, they would work to reduce the amount of sexually transmitted diseases that run rampant throughout our country.

    I was absolutely astounded to find out that the government is now touting “Abstinence Only” for adults from the ages of 20 thru 29. It sounds like a joke, but it’s not, and of course, no mention of contraceptives or any other viable method of reducing sexually transmitted diseases except complete abstinence from sex, even for adults.

    This demonstrates the religious-right has far too much power over Bush and Washington - and if we don’t stop them soon, I’d guess the “Morality Police” will one day emerge from this government that appears to have lost all semblances of sanity in their attempts to push their puritan morals on the rest of America!

    Now the government touts no sex for Adults!


  6. Pablo Says:

    Oh, those feelings of people are just so easily manipulated! Grief of 9/11 or Fear of the elusive and undetectable foe. If only they would just be manipulated to what we want them to be!!


  7. Technodaoist Says:

    “It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about…”

    Let’s hear it for the Bush Sadministration… they take it easy.


  8. dude Says:

    What do you expect? She’s been blowing a little dope.


  9. Marie Says:

    Previous presidents did not have the opportunity to authorize spending for stem-cell research, so it is disingenuous to claim her husband is the only one - it’s not a lie, but it is not the truth either.
    There she is, the Stepford wife, smiling as she insults MJF. She is popular because she plays her role well, but behind her smile is a person no better than the scumbag she married and his rotten family.
    What does it take for these political animals to have compassion - I don’t think they are capable.


  10. Mary Poplins Says:

    How does this bag know that Embryonic Stem Cells Reseach could not cure diseases like Parkinson, Alzheimer, etc? Does she have a crystal ball? Her jerk husband vetl the Stem Cell Bill. She is a liar.


  11. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    So, it was OK for our country to spend BILLIONS of dollars and THOUSANDS of lives, without research, to try to force democracy on Iraq? It sure is easy to manipulate people’s feelings (fear, patriotism, religious fervor), especially when you don’t give a d*** about truth.


  12. Bruce+Gorton Says:

    dude

    I didn’t know George was on the show.


  13. Democrat Soldier Says:

    #8 - Don’t forget her history of being a murderer!


  14. john+o. Says:

    They obviously are terrified of Fox’s message to be sending St. Laura out to attack him. Luckily for them she is irony challenged and shameless. (Looks like she’s had one too many facelifts too.)


  15. oxillini Says:

    Well, PLC, you must keep in mind that this administration is all about a “Culture of Life!” I just haven’t figured out which ones yet.


  16. kelso Says:

    ‘It’s Always Easy To Manipulate People’s Feelings’

    Well, Laura would know plenty about that.


  17. Dog_named_Boo Says:

    Her rambling makes no sense. She’s being a good Botox Bride and stumping for the referendum on bush that lynne said doesn’t exist.


  18. Fools on the Hill Says:

    No compassion coming from these flip flopping compassionate conservatives. So where is Nancy Reagan? Is she sick or did they silence her somehow?


  19. hellinabucket Says:

    #8. That’s a good one.


  20. Zooey Says:

    “It’s Always Easy to Manipulate People’s Feelings,” which is my primary function, says the shiny new LauraBot2007. Released early!


  21. Anastasia Says:

    #7 (Technodaoist) nails it. The hypocrisy of her comment is mindblowing.


  22. oxillini Says:

    Off topic: Why do taxpayers pay for the President to stump for his party and his buddies? He delivered a speech yesterday (again) announcing that only Republicans can protect yoiu from the boogeyman. A vote for a democrat is like asking terrorists to come to your house and kill your family. Seriously, that annoys me that my tax dollars support that. I’m not saying Clinton didn’t do some of this, but I’m really getting fed up to the point that I think the RNC better start reimbursing the Federal government for renting Air Force One and the President. Same holds true when the DNC does this after 2008.


  23. Dumb_Fox Says:

    It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.

    Diseases like religious fundamentalism, no?


  24. Dog_named_Boo Says:

    If the world is coming to an end why do these people care?


  25. Zippy the Other Pinhead Says:

    I wonder if stem cells can bring back to life the person Laura killed when she was driving drunk?

    Oh, yeah — like we haven’t heard worse over the last few months from the repukes running for their lives for the next week…


  26. Pete_Bogs Says:

    indeed… as it was easy to have a young girl in a Bush ‘04 ad… she lost a parent on 9/11, and said that she knew George Bush would keep her safe… if that’s not manipulating emotions I don’t know what is…


  27. SouthwestBob Says:

    Yes, Laura, it’s easy when to manipulate people’s feelings when you have a disease that will destroy your life. It’s called having creditability. You see, you and your sweet brainless hubby do not possess any creditablity. So, in that respect, it guess it’s just not fair is it?


  28. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    you must keep in mind that this administration is all about a “Culture of Life!” I just haven’t figured out which ones yet. Comment by oxillini

    The High Life (vs. all those other “low lifes”)


  29. oxillini Says:

    This year’s Republican campaign rhetoric should be used in Political Science classes for what the physical manifestation of desperation looks like.


  30. Dan Says:

    I bet Laura would be more supportive of embryonic stem cell research if it could cure death by head-on collision…


  31. American+Nightmare Says:

    Somehow to this cold hearted creature MJF is a manipulator of feelings and not someone who is actually suffering and wants funding to find a cure. Someone should turn around and say how Jesus was only out to manipulate us into worshiping him with all that torture crucifixion crown of thorns stuff.

    It takes a very sad individual to “love” and “care” for someone they read about in a book than someone suffering right in front of them. This is what they call the “Religious-Right”.


  32. oxillini Says:

    PLC, ahh the High Life, the Champagne of Beers. I’ll be toasting a few on November 8th!


  33. klyde Says:

    Why do you have a picture of The Joker up there? Oh sorry it’s a prescription pill addicted closet smoker who dressers like a wal-mart greeter not The Joker?


  34. Dog_named_Boo Says:

    Culture of Life!

    Maybe that should be culture of birth. The GrOPes only care about life from the time of conception to the time of birth. After that they do not care about that life.


  35. RUCerious Says:

    She manipulates my feelings of disgust and loathing every time she opens her mouth.


  36. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    Democratic campaign ad:

    Laura Bush: “It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings”

    Cut to any Republican smear ad clip, such as the “terrorists are out there” kind.

    Narrator: “Yes, it’s easier to manipulate people’s feelings than have rational ideas…Vote Democrat.”


  37. Keith H. Says:

    Nice picture . . . . looks like the wicked witch.


  38. Hardy+Haberman Says:

    Well once her divorce is final we won’t have to listen to her anymore.


  39. miles Says:

    You know, because her husband would never manipulate feelings such as fear, terror or xenophobia.

    Comment by oxillini — October 31, 2006 @ 9:54 am

    Amen!


  40. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    oxillini

    I’ll be toasting as well, but with a glass (OK, a bottle or two) of Reisling wine - tastes great, less filling. A toast for a new Democratic Governor and a new Democratic U.S. Senator and a new Democratic U.S. Representative from my district in the once and future great state of Ohio. Salute!


  41. Jeff Says:

    So I guess with her logic, increasing support for AIDS research, cancer research and the like won’t increase the likelyhood of cures.

    Let’s just drop all those monies into Iraq, cuz we are just follish to waste it on curing illness.


  42. lw Says:

    Yes, it’s easy to manipulate feelings, especially regarding fear - as in all those repeated references to giant mushroom clouds, 9/11, “fight them there so we don’t have to fight them here”, “they want to kill your family”, etc. Yeah, she would know about manipulation all right.


  43. Happy+Guy Says:

    Now we know the truth. Mr Fox was used. He never read the bill. He was told it supported Stem Cell research but they never told him about the cloning. And we also find the ad was paid for by a company owned by the Stowers. They pumped $28 Million into advertising and lobbying. If they get the Democrat in and he pushed the bill through their Biotech company stands to make Billions of dollars when the state becomes a safe haven for their company. The bill stops any laws from being passed that prevent their little Frankenstein pursuits.

    Talk about manipulation. The truth hurts and it is all about money. Of course all you losers can do is make fun of the first lady. One week until you lose again.


  44. Peejay3306 Says:

    I want to know WHY we can’t take back our own country from idiots like the Bush’s and the Republican Party??? Are we in America become so apathetic,,,,so under the thumb of our own government and corporations that WE ARE TOTALLY IMMOBILE?? I don’t think many of the Democrats are much better and I DON’T THINK A TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS WORKING! As long as we continue to play by the rules OF THEIR GAME…we lose!! Our founding fathers are rolling in their grave……AND WE HAVE GOTTEN ALL THAT WE DESERVE, BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO MAKE LARGE STEPS, ROCK A BOAT OR DO ANY REAL SACRIFICING!! Personally, I am just so disgusted…….. I will vote to get rid of the Republicans in November…..but I truly don’t think I will get my hopes up for a “cure” in the Democrats. We need to SCRAP THE WHOLE SYSTEM…..AND START OVER. Enough with not throwing the baby out with the bath water……this tired all rhetoric just keeps the status quo!! We ALL KNOW THAT BUSH….AND MRS. BUSH ARE MORONS….THIS IS BEATING A TIRED & DEAD HORSE. We all know that politicians are mostly CORRUPT….just look at how much money it takes to run as a politician. As long as money & power are part & party of our political system…..there will always be corruption. The question really is….do we lack the will, the sacrifice and THE BALLS to stop that which WE HAVE CREATED?? Potshots at Laura Bush is WAY TO EASY……come up with a solution (more than just the Nov. Election)….NOW THAT IS REALLY THE QUESTION TO THE ANSWER!!!


  45. Technodaoist Says:

    Comment by American+Nightmare

    I think you just did.

    That Jesus, such a selfish tool for trying to manipulate us at the behest of his liberal puppetmasters…


  46. Tom Says:

    Dear Happy+Guy:

    Unfortunately for you, there is no current or pending research that shows any promise for curing your debilitating and usually fatal disease — “head-up-your-a**edness”.


  47. Solitaire Says:

    I’m sure that “it’s always easy to manipulate other’s feelings” is the Bush mantra by now. That is the basis of their entire election strategy. The cold assessment by Ms Laura is accurate, timely, and disgusting.


  48. RantingTommy Says:

    When people are as ignorant as Happy+Guy, they are very easy to manipulate.


  49. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    Happy Guy proves that “it’s easy to manipulate” with:

    Now we know the truth. Mr Fox was used. He never read the bill. He was told it supported Stem Cell research but they never told him about the cloning.

    Hey, Happy Guy: What bill? Where is cloning supported? Or are you just spouting the lines the neocon authors write for you and your fellow philosophy-challenged Bush-supporters?


  50. David+B Says:

    She is proof of why conservative republican women are better left in the kitchen or bedroom.

    Regarding 11/8, after the thumping I can hardly wait for the Rove spin machine to come-up with lies about how the GOP really won just that no one else realizes it except him and the King.


  51. pablo Says:

    #13 i think the term manslaughterer is more apt. laura has learned a lot from her mother-in-law. she’s not as creepy as porn-writer lynne cheney. those are three of the most dangerous people in america. all smiles and pearl necklaces on the outside. pure neocon opportunists on the inside.


  52. Technodaoist Says:

    Comment by Happy+Guy

    Blah, blah, blah. And all the right can do is make fun of Michael J Fox, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Harold Ford, Bill Clinton… ad nauseum.

    For the record, I’m not making fun of the first lady, but it’s not like it would be hard.

    Would you care to back up your propaganda with any links? Or are we to take you at your word that Big Money manipulates Politics? I have PLENTY of examples of that, but they all seem to be from the Republicans…

    And careful what you wish for… especially if your emotions are being manipulated.


  53. Peejay3306 Says:

    You know Happy Guy is really delusional……that’s why he is so happy and makes such ignorant unknowledgeable statements. Happy Guy…..what you been taking to be so happy and delusional. Come back…..when you have some facts that are supported by MORE THAN NEOCON RHETORIC!!


  54. oxillini Says:

    I presume from Happy+Guy’s post that he would never spoke ill of former First Lady Hillary Clinton.


  55. Badmoodman Says:

    Laura, The Dewey Decimal Dolt.


  56. bartkid Says:

    Cough, Schavio, cough.


  57. hellinabucket Says:

    OK I’ve had enough of the schleps like Happy Guy. Below is a portion of the Stem Cell Bill that GW vetoed (his first out of all the crap that goes thru DC). First read it:

    SEC. 498D. HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH.

    `(b) Ethical Requirements- Human embryonic stem cells shall be eligible for use in any research conducted or supported by the Secretary if the cells meet each of the following:

    `(1) The stem cells were derived from human embryos that have been donated from in vitro fertilization clinics, were created for the purposes of fertility treatment, and were in excess of the clinical need of the individuals seeking such treatment. This is where your whole asinine argument falls apart. These embryos have already been created within the law and they won’t be used by the couple who legally made them and can legally have them destroyed.

    `(2) Prior to the consideration of embryo donation and through consultation with the individuals seeking fertility treatment, it was determined that the embryos would never be implanted in a woman and would otherwise be discarded. So the embryos will be thrown away. Wrap your little mind around this Happy Guy, the embryos are dumped, killed, destroyed, removed from existence already. These can be used for further research and not to clone you mental midget.

    `(3) The individuals seeking fertility treatment donated the embryos with written informed consent and without receiving any financial or other inducements to make the donation. That means they do it of their own free will without government intrusion. Isn’t that something your supposed to be for?

    If you are against this then you are against invetro fertilization and I haven’t seen you bang your stupid stick about that. You push fear of cloning, fear of terrorists, fear of Democrats. Hell, I bet you push fear of the dark, the boogey man and fear of dying itself.

    There is no way in hell I want you to be making any decisions for me.


  58. Foley's Spooged Nokia Says:

    Is this photo of a mannikin?


  59. Jack Napier Says:

    With Smilexâ„¢, I get a grin, again and again!


  60. tom+baker Says:

    … the First Lady continued, “or at least, that’s what Geaorge is always telling me”…


  61. Bill Arnett Says:

    Seems to me that not even Laura can be so stupid as to NOT see the damage her husband has done and continues to do to America, so I can only conclude that she’s an evil bitch just like Lynne Cheney, eh?


  62. zoot Says:

    this is a person married to George W. Bush. Enough said.
    .


  63. Nell+Reece Says:

    Why do these GOPers think they know more than scientists who’ve spent decades studying the subject in depth?


  64. Mary Magdylin Says:

    She has that psychotropic drug glazed smile plastered onto her face!


  65. monkeyboy247 Says:

    She should know all about the ease of manipulating feelings, her husband manipulated most of the countries feelings about 9/11 into invading Iraq.


  66. Marge Says:

    Well one thing for sure…people won’t feel compassion for George W. or Laura W Bush if either of them should show systems of a dibilating disease.

    Course Laura’s pull ring, that might get stuck, and if it should, we don’t know what to do for that.


  67. Bruce+Gorton Says:

    If her hair was a little bit greener she could play the Joker.

    Ag anway, Batman villains aside, what she has basically done here is a continuation of the Rights stance on anyone that speaks against them - insult them and accuse them of having a hidden agenda.

    Personally, I hope that in two months time the full length and breadth of the Republican governmental scandal comes out. Lets see how long until transactions in Laura and Lynne’s bank accounts get traced to Jack Abramoff eh?


  68. Wordsmith Says:

    Talk about manipulation. The truth hurts and it is all about money. Of course all you losers can do is make fun of the first lady. One week until you lose again.

    [Comment by Happy+Guy — October 31, 2006 @ 10:49 am]

    Manipulation…..has anyone mentioned Limbaugh’s ties to the Talent family in Missouri? Any mention of his support for Jim Talent?

    Oh….of course not.


  69. ggibson Says:

    Its also easy to manipulate peoples feels (Even to the point of totally ignoring science) by telling them they have to repeat everything you say or else they dont love god….


  70. Erik+Weinberger Says:

    Can ANYONE put a muzzle on these psychopaths known as the right-wing?


  71. Triumph Says:

    #43

    “Happy Guy”

    I saw Micheal J.Fox on “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos.

    He says he approached the Democrats. He wasn’t “used.”

    Thanks for lying.


  72. Dog_named_Boo Says:

    As if Awwnoold, the GrOPer, didn’t rely on his being an actor to get elected? Really, the neo-cons are such hypocrites.


  73. ggibson Says:

    I have discovered the LIBERAL CLONING PLAN! It is written on all the democratic stem cell bills in “invisible ink”! How sneaky. It says …

    1 little, 2 little, 3 little Clintons.
    4 little, 5 little, 6 little Clintons.
    7 little, 8 little, 9 little Clintons.
    10 little Clinton Clones!

    And again…

    100 little, 200 little, 300 little Clintons.
    400 little, 500 little, 600 little Clintons.
    700 little, 800 little, 900 little Clintons.
    1000 little Clinton Clones!

    Rinse and repeat…

    10000 little, 20000 little, 30000 little Clintons.
    40000 little, 50000 little, 60000 little Clintons.
    70000 little, 80000 little, 90000 little Clintons.
    100000 little Clinton Clones!

    The LIBERALS are planning on TAKING OVER THE WORLD with an army of Clinton Clones!!! This is the devils plan and we must all vote GOP for the next 1000 years to stop it!!! Vote Republican to stop the Cloning Wars!


  74. you've got to be kidding Says:

    Laura must really despise Jerry Lewis and the MDA for that yearly telethon. Manipulating people’s feelings like that. It should be a crime….or maybe it already is!


  75. seefleur Says:

    Where is karma when you want it??? I’d hate to be in Laura or Bar’s shoes when karma comes around to them…


  76. Unholy+Moses Says:

    Mr Fox was used.

    Actually, he came up with and produced the ad himself.

    I know because I called the McCaskill campaign and his Foundation for a post on my site.

    Oh, and the law specifically bans cloning. All it does is guarantee the same type of research allowed by federal law. I know because I’ve read it (and I live in Missouri, so I kinda pay attention to these kind of things).

    But go ahead and use the word “cloning” to try and hide the facts. Doing so just proves the First Lady’s point that emotions are easily manipulated, especially by people like you who have no ability to reason or logic.


  77. Bruce+Gorton Says:

    ggibson

    Only the Republicans can stop an army of Clinton clones.

    They are the only known force that can suck quite that much.



  78. ggibson Says:

    Comment by Bruce+Gorton

    So if you were to clump Americas Republicans into a big ball out in space next to a black hole which “void” would suck the other in?

    It’s okay, out in the desert of New Mexico, around Dulce, they have been creating M-kids [Monarch kids] with Reptilian Draconian DNA from the crashed saucer that was made of indestructible material but distructed anyway, and now the green waspy eyed critters are part human and the collective GOP sicko-pathic hive, they have infiltrated the churches and the government and the police, the 666 Draconians will defeat the mamby pamby clinton clades with their shockinawe timp/space particle beam weaponry disintegrating you into many subatomic particles, indeed, making you a god, of particles, so to speak, in the sky!


  80. William+Cormier Says:

    Great comment “hellinabucket.”

    There is no greater threat to the Neo-cons than the truth - and to that, they never have a good answer, instead choosing to change the subject or attack the author to try and redirect anything they have done from the actual facts and truth of the matter.

    Just once, I’d like to see GWB in a debate where he was forced to answer the questions, rather than be able to dance around and change the subject to fear and what Democrats will do to “help the terrorists.” Talk about manipulation…

    What’s so sad is that so many of the sheeple are buying-into his continual rhetoric of fear - while the facts lie on the sidelines, like yesterdays garbage.


  81. carollt Says:

    The woman is on drugs. See the faked smile; see the glassed over eyes. I would submit that Mrs. Bush has not even thought about stem-cell research. She is given her drugs and her talking points. No room for independent thought in this executive. Independent thinkers need not apply.


  82. null Says:

    Hmmmmmmmmm…Can we look forward to Laura getting Alzheimer’s? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy…well, Maybe Her moronic Husband!

    Comment by Kippy

    How could you tell?


  83. jake3988 Says:

    Check up the Mrs on the ‘moron’ list!

    Promise for diseases and the republicans say ‘Screw you’. How friggin’ stupid is that?!

    ‘It’s Always Easy To Manipulate People’s Feelings’

    Unless they have none.


  85. Bluedog49 Says:

    Laura Bush has spent a lot of time looking into American womens’ eyes and saying “I’m pro-choice.” Last week she was on the stump for Rick Santorum. What an incredible phony Laura Bush is.


  86. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    80

    That is an empirical question (for all you neocon anti-science guys, that means you don’t know the answer until you test it). Sounds like the beginning of a very good, socially relevant experiment.

    She is as cold as her hateful mother in law

  89. Daryll Says:

    Here we go, TP. And especially on, the satanist holiday, Halloween. Mrs Bush has a right to view her opinion about MJF’s supportive Demoratic ad. Previously, I agreed that Rush was wrong for indicating that MJF was faking during the ad, but now, instead of pity, I have shame for MJF for using his disease to gain more MD votes. It’s plain disgusting, and Laura Bush was right. This is equivalent to the NJ 9/11 wives supporting a NJ Democratic ad, it’s shameful. I know our Lord Jesus Christ can’t be happy with his/their actions. Also please stop criticizing our First Lady. She has a very kind and meek heart. More of you female libs need to emulate her. Cease and desist.


  90. Bluedog49 Says:

    carrollt: “The woman is on drugs. See the faked smile; see the glassed over eyes.”

    My guess is Zanax or Prosac.


  91. unpoetaloco Says:

    ” It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult,” said the woman who killed a boy in a car accident and did not pay a cent in retribution, who married a petulant draft dodging alcoholic, and raised two girls who can’t keep their panties on in public.


  92. CinTN Says:

    Laura:

    Michael J. Fox campaigning for stem cell research isn’t a manipulation it is an act of courage.

    You on the other hand trying to give your husband credit for any stem cell research advances IS a manipulation.

    My message to all of you who oppose stem cell research is this: SIGN A PLEDGE PROMISING THAT YOU WILL NEVER USE ANY OF THE CURES THAT MAY SOMEDAY COME FROM THIS RESEARCH.

    This research will go on with your blessings or without your blessings and when the cures come, and they will, you have no moral right to partake of the man made miracle.

    So go away Laura Bush, you’re as big a phony as the rest of the Bush clan.

    You suck, Pickles.


  94. Stranahan Says:

    Laura Bush always uses the arguement ‘George Bush is the only president to approve federal funding for stem cell research!’

    I am so disappointed that Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln or JFK didn’t approve funding for stem cell research!

    Only W.


  95. oxillini Says:

    Daryll, you really do not see the hipocrisy in Laura Bush deriding someone for playing to emotions? Do you think that her husband’s administration plays on emotions?

    Daryll: “I know our Lord Jesus Christ can’t be happy with his/their actions. Also please stop criticizing our First Lady. She has a very kind and meek heart. More of you female libs need to emulate her. Cease and desist.”

    This from a guy who referred to Ted Kennedy as a murderer for an automobile accident 40 years ago. This from someone who believed Rush Limbaugh when he said Hillary Clinton murdered her friend Vince Foster. This from a moronic, self-loathing fag who wants to marry Jesus.

  98. Peejay3306 Says:

    Daryll….your right she has a right to voice an opinion…..& I have a right to call her an idiot and a BS Artist!! I would not want to be anything like Mrs. Bush (especially since she killed someone in a drunk driving incident and sold pot in college). She has NO OPINION OTHER THAN WHAT GEORGE GIVES HER and enough with the Christian religious stuff. I am so sick and tired of people pushing their beliefs on me. I think that all Christians should be placed in a Mosque for days on end and find out what it’s like to have people push their beliefs on them, then perhaps you would get it!!! I believe in God….just not religion…religion is not of God…AND NEITHER IS POLITICS. Do you really believe that God want to be minimize to US Politics? You really stand religion & God on it’s head. Go to some religious room….you meek, pathetic, brainwashed idiot. I can say this….it’s called freedom of speech. You think God is striking me dead now….I THINK NOT!!


  99. dionysis Says:

    And incredibly, this twit still is considered a top draw for wingnuts and the terminally gullible. She’s coming to my state (N.C.) with select invitations to the wingnut ignorati, since her spineless husband can only show up stealth-like in the dead of night to raise funds for his army of quislings. What a pathetic piece of work.

  103. Daryll Says:

    Oh man that brings back memories of being a kid in church… but in REALITY land Halloween is a pagan holiday were the people used to try to scare away the evil spirits….

    Back to Fantasy Christian Island…


  106. Televangefrist Says:

    What?
    FDR didn’t authorize federal funding for Stem Cell Research?
    NO?

    Bush is the first, eh?
    Maybe because the fricking science behind it has only come into existence during this dumbass’ tenure as prez.

    She may smile and nod like she knows what’s going on, and maybe Andy Card clued her into a couple of things but this woman is pure Stepford, top to bottom.


  107. stuffy Says:

    Keep it up Mrs. Bush; I think the more you try to stir this one up the more people will side with MJF. He has a higher Q rating anyway…his popularity is measured in television ratings.

    Too darn bad Nancy Reagan didn’t air a commercial like this - I wonder how much money SHE has donated to support the cause of stem cell research?


  108. Bluedog49 Says:

    Daryll: “I challenge your ethics.”

    Now, that’s funny. A guy who thinks that if you don’t agree with his version of a magical deity, you will spend eternity being tortured in hell…. is challenging MY ethics. Daryll, Laura Bush calls herself “pro-choice” and is campaigning for the most anti-choice Senator in government, Rick Santorum. The fact that you don’t see this as an ethical problem says more about you than any of your religious bullshit.


  109. Peejay3306 Says:

    Daryll……when did God say it was ok to impersonate him? I don’t recall God saying he had judge, condemmed and sentence Hilary to Hell…..I guess you just stepped in an did that for him??? Daryll….you are a hypocrite and brainwashed hypocrite at that!!! JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGE…… ROMAN 3:23 FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD……I am sure you were excluded from this passage, because you are the moral authority of God!! This hypocrisy is THE BASE for the Republicans. It’s ok to call Ted Kennedy a “murderer”, but you want women to emulate Laura….what hogwash is this and from what God authority does it come from. You really are brain dead!!!

    Then explain why MJF shot a similar campaign ad for Arlen Spector in 2004. And why is it a problem when someone wants to support a candidate that supports their issue, regardless of party? This is what America is all about.


  112. Bluedog49 Says:

    Actually, she’s just a liar like her husband. Bill Clinton was the first president to authorize spending for stem cell research. His administration set up guidelines for federal funding. When Bush came in, he ended the Clinton system and set up a much more restrictive system.


  113. Televangefrist Says:

    LOL Daryl
    the “satanist” holiday

    You idiots reveal your intellect (or lack of) whenever you go off the GOP script.

    Stick to the talking points, Daryl. My god man- you should know by now that the GOP does all your thinking for you. Don’t worry your pretty little head about pesky “facts.”
    I fear for the children of these wackos (ie Daryl) who grow thinking that Halloween is “satanic.”

    Do you really believe your own bullshit? I doubt it. Very few people that are that f*cking stupid.


  114. Gregor Samsa Says:

    It’s Always Easy To Manipulate People’s Feelings

    Well, Mrs. Bush. It takes on to know one, doesn’t it?

    After all, your husband and his friends in the White House have been manipulating people’s fears. Fear of foreigners, of other religions, of “terrorist attacks”, etc., etc.

    Your husband’s two terms might as well be dubbed “the reign of terror”.


  115. hellinabucket Says:

    Daryll, Terry Schiavo. Talk about using an illness/accident to pull on peoples heart strings. And MJF has supported both Republicans and Democrats so your pitiful little argument holds no water. I’d be careful if I were you. Assuming you know what Jesus would be happy or unhappy about. You’re supporting someone who has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to die. And the reasons why are sketchy at best. I beleive that would make you a hypocrite and I also believe there are some pretty specific statements in the bible about hypocrites.


  116. bgirl Says:

    What a BITCH! She would know a lot about manipulation. Her husband and his bunch have been doing it to the world for the last 6 years.


  117. Daryll Says:

    Peejay3306, you’re right. Religion isn’t of god, it’s of the devil. It’s used to confuse each and everyone of us. Jesus said that everyone that follows him should be considered holy, not catholic, methodist, baptist, ect. Also, don’t judge, those were different types of sin that she commited prior to finding Christ. God washed her sins away, and now she’s redeemed. He threw her sins from the east to the west and forgot about them.


  118. BuckarooBanzai Says:

    I know our Lord Jesus Christ can’t be happy with his/their actions. Also please stop criticizing our First Lady. She has a very kind and meek heart. More of you female libs need to emulate her. Cease and desist.

    Comment by Daryll — October 31, 2006 @ 12:10 pm

    Daryll, since you communicate with the Lord, please let us know what his feelings were on this:
    “In 1963 Laura Bush was involved in a fatal car accident when she ran a stop sign and crashed into another car, killing her boyfriend Michael Dutton Douglas who was driving the other car. “


  119. Bluedog49 Says:

    Daryll: “Religion isn’t of god, it’s of the devil.”

    Great work, Daryll! Equal opportunity slimer of athiests, agnostics and religious alike! Daryll, are Amish people “of the devil?” How about Mother Teresa? How about St. Peter?


  120. Wintergreen For President Says:

    What’s so horrible about the idea of cloning? I could use at least one more of me to get through the day more easily. But then, of course, if you had more Laura Bush’s, there might be an increase in vehicular homicide.

THEY ARE SO DETACHED FROM THE REALITIES OF THEIR OWN SINS, INCOMPETENCIES AND FAILURES, THEY DON’T RECOGNIZE HOW COMPLETELY DELUSIONAL THEY COME ACROSS TO EVERYONE ELSE. THEY ARE TRULY LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD OF THEIR OWN CREATION.


  127. Daryll Says:

    Televangefrist, don’t worry about the children that I will help conceive. I rely on biblical standards. Per a previous post, tonight I’m waiting on the children to knock on my door. Instead of candy, they will receive bible leaflets. Instead of giving them an item to help celebrate this demonic holiday, I’ll give them something to help them morally for the rest of their lives.


  128. Televangefrist Says:

    And tards like Daryll only believe that Hillary Clinton is evil because she’s got a mind of her own.

    I mean really- why are the HitlerYouth so outraged about Hillary?

    Because she was cheated on by her husband?
    Because she took on a real issue as 1st lady (Health Care) even if it failed?
    Because of a land deal that she lost money on?
    Oh, could it be—- she’s one of them “uppity” women. That’s word right out of your playbook Daryl— “uppity.” Geez what a bunch of bigots.

    She’s a successful woman and, of course (gasp) because she’s a Democrat…. so?
    Democrats fought on the good side of the Civil Rights movement.
    On the good side of women’s suffrage.
    And now they’re opposing redneck amendments that would limit the rights of gay Americans.

    What the hell do you have to be proud of?
    Name 1 thing the GOP has fought for in the last 50 years that was principled, humanitarian, or ethical. Name 1 Daryl because during the Civil Rights we had “dixiecrats” and after the movement we had the GOP’s “southern strategy” so tell me 1 thing that the repigs have fought for that mattered at all, that improved society?

    Name one you mindless sheep. If you’ll defend this bunch you don’t give a damn about this country, you only care about being right and demonizing your own countrymen.
    You’re a bigoted primate that daydreams about segregation and fag-bashing.
    What a disgusting political party. Luckily I believe in Natural Selection so it’s only a matter of time before tards like Daryl die off, and a more tolerant, intellectual society emerges.
    You gotta believe.


  129. Samantha Romaine Says:

    Actually… Clinton did authorize federal spending for stemcell research… it just wasn’t set to begin until after Bush took office and once of the first things Bush did was repeal the Clinton authorization and place his own more stringent “only the few that we already have” authorization in it’s place. Look it up… but Clinton was first, Bush just ambushed him.

    According to her, there simply is no cure to Alzheimers, and I suppose then, in her mind, to any disease currently without a cure, therefore, it is silly to expect further medical research to yield any future cures???

    What kind of backward, insular, self-righteous upbringing was inflicted upon the leaders of this country? It seems their only solution to this inability to conduct modern-human reasoning is to exude some inane sense of omniscience, which I suppose is technically valid due to their intimate relationship with Jesus…


  133. Televangefrist Says:

    You have every right to make yourself the laughing stock of your neighborhood. I could care less about you handing out bible leaflets.

    Good luck with that. But claiming to know the 1 true religion and that all others will burn for eternity, etc etc is, at it’s core- bigotry.

    Telling others that their beliefs are inadequate, or incomplete, or wrong and that they must accept what you believe or.. else? Sure, that’s just “saving the world” unfortunately no one asked you to save the world, you just decided it needed saving, so again- who are you to judge. Seems there are a couple quotes from the bible about “judging” but I can’t remember… maybe you could remind me.


  134. Jackie Says:

    I wonder if it were staged when she ran over her ex boyfriend and was never charged with murder? Now Laura knows about staging things as that’s what she’s doing now. The first lady is a Steford Wife with a chip and when Bush is out of office and Connie/Bush start their lives. Bush will remove the chip from Laura so Laura/Rich Texas boyfriend will have their lives. It’s all about the Steford chip.

    There Laura Bush goes talking about deseases and making me really discusted with her and the likes of her. It is clear she is manipulating my feelings by talking about desease. I am angry that she will talk about things she has no knowledge of. In being so dam stupid she manipulates my feelings. She should be ashamed for talking about deseases when she is totally ignorant. God how she manipulates my feelings. What a complete idiot Laura Bush is. I usually would not talk about someone like this but Laura Bush is manipulating my feelings. Laura Bush is as dangerous and untrust worthy as her husband. That jerk is another person who manipulates me into being really discusted with his stupid policies and comments about almost anything. Laura and the George should stop saying things that manipulate our feelings. It is really annoying to listen to such idiots as those two talking about desease. Do they both have the same desease that makes them talk so silly?


  137. Paige Says:

    MAYBE THIS FIRST LADY SHOULD TALK TO NANCY REAGAN, WHO IS A VERY STRONG ADVOCATE OF STEM CELL RESEARCH. I guess Laura Bush must have also thought that the Reagan’s were using Ronny’s Alzheimer’s “to manipulate people’s feelings.” What a powerfully ignorant thing for Laura Bush to say. Is she trying to piss her popularity numbers away? I can’t even imagine having to be married to a dishonest, incompetent, moronic dipshit like George W. Bush. Lynne Cheney appears to be as hideous as Dick Cheney. Maybe Laura wants to join in her in those low ranks.

    My applause to this appropo post:

    “It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about…”

    FEAR
    TERROR
    UNCERTAINTY
    XENOPHOBIA
    HOMOPHOBIA
    TECHNOPHOBIA
    PATRIOTISM
    IMMIGRATION
    ECONOMICS
    THE ENVIRONMENT
    LOYALTY OATHS
    FEEDING TUBES
    CIVIL RIGHTS
    WOMEN’S RIGHTS

    Let’s hear it for the Bush Sadministration… they take it easy.

    #79, sounds to me like vbirds of a feather -

    #46, you talk about a view you are obviously, personally familiar with

    #50, there are meny democrat women I wouldn’t even trust with those items you feel republican women need to concentrate on.\

    #64, did that drug come from your personal stash?

    #70, not unless they muzzle all the idiots on the other side, which would leave only about 10 decent people left as democrats.

    #74, You gotta be kidding-

    #80, hopelyy not the intellectual voide the democrats appear to exist in. It may raise the IQ level 1/4 of a point.

  140. AMK Says:

    Silly woman, stem cell reasearch has only been possible to fund since the late, late 1990s. I wish someone would call her on that stupid statistic she always quotes; kind of difficult to fund something before it’s discovered.

    Also all those “Snowflake” babies wouldn’t be here today without embryonic research. It took a little bit of research to get all that stuff working in the petri dishes.

    Hmmm, I would agree except .. I dont EVER see democrats getting on TV and making fun of people that are smart… Bush just the other day was going on about too many philosophers, the right is always going on about the evil college professors and their intelligentsia crowd, and I dont know how many times I have seen republicans get really pissed anytime someone suggests we should learn what motivates the muslims to turn to terrorism…

    Maybe you should try backing up your assertion with some facts?


  143. Democrat Soldier Says:

    #141 - If you’re a constitutionalist, what do you think of the habit of Presidents that inject religion in their “oath of office”?

    Read the fine print. At no time does the oath of Presidential office say “So help me God”, but it’s been added by most Presidents.

    I guess that just gets your knickers in a knot, right? Who the heck gave them the right to change the Constitution without a so much as “by your leave” by anyone?!?!

    Come on, Doug, share with us how much this change of the Constitution chafes your nerves!

    Why would that bother me? it’s not as if catholicism, or babptism is being specifially supported. In no way does that make this government supported religion?

  153. LesserFool Says:

    This demonstrates the religious-right has far too much power over Bush and Washington - and if we don’t stop them soon, I’d guess the “Morality Police” will one day emerge from this government that appears to have lost all semblances of sanity in their attempts to push their puritan morals on the rest of America!

    When such a “policy” fails — as all evidence indicates it will — they can blame the liberals. Just like when their war has failed, they blame liberal politicians and a liberal press. Republicans are not the party of personal responsibility.
