i think that the president has absolutely made the right call to veto it, i think liberals are as anne colter said the spawn of satan, and are a cancer eating at this great country, go mr. president. i’m glad that we have a president that still values the real value of human life.

Oh brutha… another fundie loon in our midst….
to the coulter lover above, you are so lucky these conservative windbags tell you what to think and say. if you ever tried thinking for yourself, you would sound as idiotic as… well, frankly, as idiotic as you do now, supporting bush and listening to scary ann.
You don’t speak for the American public and you no not speak for me. I support President Bush who does what he thinks is best for the country unlike the librial media who think they can speak for us. If you want to speak for me, run for office and you will not get elected!

The overwhelming majority of American people, including many Republicans, support stem cell research. The lunatic fringe of your party that you represent is causing the destruction of your party.
So according to Bush logic, it’s OK for the US to have nuclear weapons, but it’s wrong for other countries to develop the technology.
Meanwhile, it’s OK for other countries to have stem cell research, but it’s wrong for the US to develop it?
No wonder America is so screwed up.
In the end we will ALL be judged. One ignores God’s laws at one’s own risk. The churches above keep reinventing God’s laws to meet their whims - abortion, contraception, divorce, homosexual activity.
I find it amusing that all the comments above who oppose your view and support the president are from individual americans and all the rebuttals are from liberal media sources. I also find it amusing how Aline wants to tell everyone how screwed up America is. If America is so screwed up, go live in Iran who I guess think are fine to have a nuke. Classic liberal at their best. WOW! And to you Brian, conservatives do think for themselves, that is why we are usually the Boss of no minds like yourself.
