This was a humane bill that created jobs throughout the economic sector and in every community in the US and wasn't some 250 million dollar bridge to nowhere in Alaska where only a few contractors will benefit.

Bush needs to learn to reign in on his constituents pork spending habits instead of trying to appease the too far to the right wing evangelical vote.
Two truths: (1) What the federal government touches, they almost always screw up. (2) Governmental spending at the federal level is out of control.

Thus, stem cell research should not be funded by the federal government. We can't afford it and we will screw it up if the fed's get involved.

The problem is, those reasons were not GB's the reasons for not funding stem cell research. He did it on moral grounds. I may agree with that as well, but he could have kept the high road and cut it because we can't afford it. But the problem with that is, he would have to admit a zillion other things have to be cut as well.

I hate politics. Throw all of the bums out.
