Veto This!
As soon as I read this passed today, I knew Bush would veto it. That clown has his religious beliefs all up in our grills again and it is going to cost the research community.
Never mind that “opinion polls show strong public support” for the expansion of research. Hey, our majority public vote didn’t want him in office and yet, we still have him, so I guess that’s the way these things go. Let’s not put our best efforts forward to cure many diseases on the basis of religious morality. The little embryos will never become babies, but they can’t serve a greater purpose either.
I am definitely not a political person, and I will almost never comment on it, but this just gets me boiling. I just had to get it off my chest. I surely hope a donkey wins in 2008, because I’m fed up with this shiznit.

The veto override didn’t get through the house, so W wins again. Blackout weaves its way through the city…

Kind of awful how this turned out to be his first veto while in office. Some of his party brethren actually thought for themselves and he smacks it down. I hope he comes down with one of the diseases that this research could help cure. That would be poetic justice as he prayed to Gawd for help when it was in his power at one time…
