Hooray for Standing By Your Guy!
Mr.Bush stood by his principles, which you must respect if you have any respect for his principles!
Here's a smattering of the reaction to the President's veto:
"...history will look very unkindly on this veto" -Rep. Chris Shays, R-Ct.
"I think it will hurt the party in November"- Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa. (Though he supported the veto)
"It's going to be a symbol of standing in the way of progress" -Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel.
"What this bill does is it allows people who are donors of embryos to allow those embryos to be used for life-giving research. So you either use these embryos for research that will help cure people of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's Disease, or you discard them"- Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.
"I do not believe that a frozen embryo in a fertility clinic freezer constitutes human life. Now, I believe that being pro-life involves helping the living. Regenerative medicine is pro-life and pro-family," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
"I urge you not to make the first veto of your presidency one that turns America backwards on the path of scientific progress and limits the promise of medical miracles for generations to come"- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"It is immoral for our families, neighbors and friends to be held hostage to chronic diseases when their treatments are within our scientific grasp"- June Walker, president of the Women's Zionist Organization of America.
And of the probable source of the stem cells that would have been used for research, Sen.Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said: "It's very difficult to justify abandoning 7,000 to 20,000 in vitro eggs as medical waste"
BORN ON THIS DATE: Chris Cornell, 1964, (Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave), who made the very astute observation"Led Zeppelin is just a bunch of stupid idiots who wrote cool riffs."
DIED ON THIS DATE: Revolutionary Pancho Villa, 1923, whose last words were apparently "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something". Do you have YOUR final words prepared?
