Edwards Stem Cell Vision: 'We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases... When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.' Edwards made the unprecedented campaign promises during 30-minute speech at Newton High School gym in Newton, Iowa.

I'VE HEARD OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES .... BUT THIS IS GETTING A BIT RIDICULOUS, ISN'T IT?

The Kerry/Edwards gang decided this week to take advantage of the emotionalism surrounding the death of Christopher Reeve. Reeve was genuinely admired by this entire nation. The courage and strength showed by this man impressed all. So, how do you exploit the death of Christopher Reeve for political purposes? You send Super Lawyer to appear before a high school audience to tell them that if John Kerry is elected people like Christopher Reeve, people in wheelchairs, will get up and walk again!

Wow! What a deal! "Hey Mom! Hey Dad! You gotta like vote for John Kerry! You know what I'm sayin'? You gotta like vote for Kerry because do you like remember Eddie? Yeah! Eddie! He was like crippled in a car wreck last year, you know? And if you like vote for like John Kerry Eddie will like walk again because John Kerry can like fix his like spinal chord!"

But wait! Don't stop there! According to Super Lawyer, not only are quadriplegics going to suddenly arise and head for Starbucks for a latte, but grandma is going to suddenly know who you are and she won't be able to hide her own Easter Eggs! Yes, the great and grand Kerry/Edwards team will cure Alzheimer's. And grandpa is going to stop shaking so much because they're going to cure Parkinson's. And you kids in the audience can put away your insulin too! We're going to cure juvenile diabetes!

It goes without saying that only an unadulterated idiot would believe that voting for Kerry would mean a cure for all of these diseases and afflictions. The point here is that idiots are exactly the segment of our population that the Kerry campaign is targeting right now! After the "global test" and "terrorism as a nuisance" comments that's about the only place they can still mine for votes. Unfortunately there are a gracious plenty of idiots who's votes are up for grabs.

What's next? Campaign ads by Stevie Wonder? "Vote for John Kerry so I can see!!!!"

"Grandma! Throw away that wheelchair! We're voting for John Kerry!"

I hope he's right. Were not doing enough now.

 

[Turfgrass]

By the way DJV, if you were in charge what should "WE" be doing?

 

[Turfgrass]

Also, you do know that prior to George Bush being elected, there wasn't any funding for stem cell research at all?

You should also know that there is no ban on stem cell research. Never has been. The only restriction is that federal funds cannot be used for new lines of embryonic stem cell research. That's it. This is no different than banning federal funds for say, abortion. You can still have one, it's just that the state isn't going to pay for it. But in the world of the liberals, a lack of federal funds equals a ban. And so it goes

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

ridiculas but I stiill have have to put it 2nd so far to Kerry's "Edwards and I are for tort reform" :142lmao:

Wonder how long and how many of these it would take till people figure out they say and do what they think people want to hear.
Sell the sizzle not the steak--tell them what your going to do and hide what you've done.

In a nutshell if Kerry and Edwards could do or say one thing that would assure them of victory do you think they would.

Now on the flip side If Bush had chosen Mc cain as his running mate do you think he would have been shoe-in. He had opportunty with Cheney being sick at the time.Easy transition with no egg on face.
Why didn't he---It call priciples

 

[djv]

Embryonic is the key word. And most of the stems they had are already gone or of no use. So what do we do stop. And private sector will take the lead on this if the government gets involved with more then just money.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

Well without the stem cell research we wouldn't know if these diseases can be cured, would we. Bush, in his psychotic, religous right wing way, that he does oh so well, pays lip service to this issue which may cure many of these devastating diseases.

But no. He doesn't want to piss off his psycho fundamentalist religous base does he. He'll remain right to life because he knows that that issue will really piss off the wackos but he'll give a little, and I mean a little, on stem cell research.

Do you want a guy who gets his orders from God or do you want a guy who will look at the issues and make decisions based on those facts. I respect all who believe in a deity but, believe that a person who gets his direction from that deity keeps it in church and not in the white house.

You know, like Mohammed Atta.

There is a closer relationship between the two and their respective views on the world than you may think. Actually, quite scary.
