Casualties of Political War

So Kerry/Edwards is touting the new cure of our time. Stem cells to the rescue! Yet, evil tyrant W is out to stop them! Such horrible behavior! Well, if you are in this boat, I heartily encourage you to read this article.

In a last ditch, pathetic and downright disgusting play of political pleading, Kerry/Edwards try to blame Bush for not being able to cure Altzheimer's and Spinal Cord injuries because he is against Stem Cell research. Bullturds. As if Stem Cells are the path to the cure and the only thing stopping it is Bush. Quit lying to the unsuspecting voter!!! Bush is the first President to allow government funding for Stem Cell research, yet the liberal liars are trying to trick helpless voters into believing that they are the ones who will somehow miraculously cure the sick: "Well, if we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again." --John Edwards

How tactless. Create false hopes that your candidate is the answer to everyone's prayers. Charles Krauthammer, who wrote the aforementioned article, is a paraplegic and has been for over 30 years. Here's what he has to say about Edwards' statement: "Well, no one really knows, one of the great mysteries in medicine is why the spinal cord does not regenerate, and no one has any idea of the answers, no one is in any way sure that we're going to learn the answer from stem cell research. We might, but I've heard a lot of hype over the last 30 years about the keys to the kingdom here in this issue and all of that have proved false. For Edwards to make the claim he did is the worst demagoguery I've heard in Washington in a quarter century. To imply that Christopher Reeve was kept in the wheelchair because of the policies of the Bush administration on stem cells is ridiculous and insulting."

I heartily agree.
