M O N D A Y , A U G U S T 0 9 , 2 0 0 4Bush Continues Gay Slur; Laura Bush AttacksTooby Michael in New York on 8/09/2004 05:34:00 PMAt campaign rallies today, Bush again made his subtle anti-gay jibethat Dick Cheney may not be the prettiest face, etc. etc.</p><p> Even moregalling, Laura Bush spoke on stem-cell research and had the nerve toaccuse Kerry of playing on the desperate hopes of families who havea loved one suffereing from a degenerative disease."But I know that embryonic stem-cell research is very preliminaryright now, and the implication that cures for Alzheimer's are aroundthe corner is just not right.</p><p> And it's really not fair to people who arewatching a loved one suffer with this disease," said Luara per the AP.First, she should avoid that just "around the corner" slogan siince it'salready boomeranging back on Bush.</p><p> Second, she's got gall.</p><p> Bushrefuses to back basic medical research because of his own narrowreligious beliefs -- keeping potential life-saving advances a dim if notimpossible dream -- and the candidate who says science shoulddecide where research dollars go, not narrow fanatic ideology, is theone who is more compassionate to families suffering fromParkinson's? Please.P.S.</p><p> By the way, it's okay for Laura Bush to oppose serious stem-cellresearch, even based on her religious beliefs (though since that's theonly basis, it should always give a thinking person pause in a freesociety).</p><p> What I strongly object to is her attack claiming Kerry isbeing less compassionate.</p><p> That's unfair.</p><p> She's the one who wants herpersonal religious beliefs impede medical progress so she's the onewho has explaining to do.</p><p> Instead of doing that, she attacks Kerry?Absurd.</p><p> McCormick & MurphyColorado personal injury lawyer Call for a freeconsultation!www.McCormickAndMurphy1.comJenna BushSee Jenna Bush's Wedding Pictures Now withthe Free News ToolbarNews.alottoolbars.comLaura Bush And New HouseFind more sources/options for what yourlooking forwww.webcrawler.com Add New Comment Logged in as AnonymousUser Logout from DisqusLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> Daily KosShuster, Blow slam wingnut rhetoric - DavidShuster leads a panel discussion with gun activistAllan Gotlieb and New York Times columnistCharles Blow on the escalation of the right-wing’sre...16 minutes agoPaul KrugmanOne more time - Brad DeLong is, rightly, horrifiedat the great Ricardian equivalencemisunderstanding.</p><p> It's one thing to have anargument about whether consumers are perf...17 minutes agoHuffPost PoliticsLincoln Leaves Door Open For EFCA Compromise -Senator Blanche Lincoln on Monday announcedthat she would vote against the Employee FreeChoice Act.</p><p> But later she elaborated, leaving thedoor open for...23 minutes agoCrooks and LiarsMichelle Bachmann warns of politically correctre-education camps for young people - Isn't thestate of Minnesota embarrassed enough alreadyover Norm Coleman's hold out?
