Democrats still lying about stem cell funding
And they've set themselves up for another veto.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Spoiling for a veto fight, Congress cleared legislation Thursday easing restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
The House vote to send the measure to President Bush was 247-176, 35 short of the level needed to override a second veto in as many years on the issue.
"For many, embryonic stem cell research is the most promising source of potential treatments and cures" for debilitating disease, said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., the bill's leading advocate.
"Unfortunately, because of the stubbornness of one man - President Bush - these people continue to suffer as they wait," she added.
Why are these people waiting? President Bush didn't ban research. Gee, must be another attempt by Democrats to mislead the American people.
Ironically, this vote takes place just after news reports of another success in creating stem cells from non-embryonic sources.
This has not gone unnoticed. The Democrats had less support this time than with their previous bill.
Science, and the truth, will always triumph in a free society.
