Bush Flip-Flops Yet Again, Says Stem Cell Research Is NOT Murder

White House Softens Tone On Embryo Use


By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 25, 2006; A07

President Bush does not consider stem cell research using human embryos to be murder, the White House said yesterday, reversing its description of his position just days after he vetoed legislation to lift federal funding restrictions on the hotly disputed area of study.

White House press secretary Tony Snow said yesterday that he "overstated the president's position" during a briefing last week but said Bush rejected the bill because "he does have objections with spending federal money on something that is morally objectionable to many Americans."

The shifting terminology underscored the sensitivity of the issue, especially heading into midterm elections. Many antiabortion conservatives strongly oppose stem cell research involving the destruction of embryos, viewing it as killing human beings. But polls show that most Americans see such research as a potential key to treating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and other afflictions.

In using the first veto of his presidency to preserve federal funding restrictions, Bush reassured social conservatives who have grown uncertain about his leadership.

1. WWFS?
What Would Freakers Say? Oh I know:

"Well despite what he thinks he did the right thing. He is free to have his own opinions."

4. What? No "kinder, gentler" murder?
should state that it is morally objectionable to a minority of 'Murkans.

"Oh my god, 400,000 snowflakes are melting!"

5. More hypocrisy!
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 10:35 AM by AndyA
White House press secretary Tony Snow said yesterday that he "overstated the president's position" during a briefing last week but said Bush rejected the bill because "he does have objections with spending federal money on something that is morally objectionable to many Americans."


So I guess the fact that millions of Americans find war, and the deaths and injuries that it causes morally objectionable doesn't matter? What's the difference?

8. Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.
I have spoken with freepers in the past who seem to come up with an excuse for every single line of hypocrisy you can imagine. No matter how hard I throw their hypocrisy back in their face, they still come up with something. But still, it's fun to confront the freepers and at least watch them squirm, just a little bit.
