Worth a chuckle or twelve, if it wasn't so sad

The Rev. Al Sharpton yesterday threatened to again seek the Democratic presidential nomination unless current contenders, including four senators he visited on Capitol Hill, commit to focusing attention on civil rights issues.

Mr. Sharpton's comments came as he visited Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, Barack Obama of Illinois and Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, the four senators seeking the party's nomination.

Mrs. Clinton after speaking with Mr. Sharpton said she is in lock step to deal with "21st-century civil rights issues" such as those Mr. Sharpton is backing.

"These are issues important to our country and ... an agenda that I support," she said.

Only in the Dummycrat party would Al Sharpton be taken seriously and I see HRC wated no time pandering to the pimp daddy!

Former President Jimmy Carter once complained there were "too many Jews" on the government's Holocaust Memorial Council according to the council's former executive director, Monroe Freedman.

Maybe it's because 6 Million peanut farmers weren't systematically annihilated!

Doesn't Carter's picture look like she should have a set of numbers underneath and accompanied by a second side shot?

My wife Chris used to tell me what a wonderful man he is...she doesn't say that anymore!

NEXT!

Gov. Chet Culver said Monday he would push state lawmakers this session to ease Iowa's limits on embryonic stem cell research and to pour money into a new research center at the U of I to put the science into practice.

Speaking in front of a crowd of at least 200 at the U of I's Medical Education and Research Facility, Culver said a "modest" $12.5 million should be dedicated to creating a center for stem cell research at the U of I.

This appeared in the Ragister and happened Thursday, not Monday!

Can these idiots get anything right?

Chester also said this would "get us back in the game", I saw the video on WHO TV/13.

Embryonic stem cell research is anything but a game!

Culver... also stressed the importance of easing restrictions on a type of stem cell research currently banned in the state.

Iowa's ban - enacted in 2002 by Culver's Democratic predecessor Tom Vilsack - restricts scientists from a method of creating human embryos for research.

...Mark Anderson, a professor of cardiology at the U of I, acknowledged the unknowns of the stem cell research currently banned in Iowa...

...Opponents of loosening the limits on embryonic stem cell research say the research crosses an ethical and moral line while offering few advantages over other forms of stem cell research, such as the use of adult stem cells.

"Stem cells are a huge benefit, but an embryonic stem cell wants to grow into a baby," said Sen. Jerry Behn, a Boone Republican. "To me, the proponents of embryonic stem cells are being deceptive. They are alleging that a cure is around the corner and if you're not for embryonic research you're against progress. But adult cells are where the breakthroughs have come from."

CHESTER NOT STUPID?!?!

Lastly, back to Washington...

Senate Democrats quashed a proposal yesterday that would have dramatically increased civil fines on employers who hire illegal aliens.

The proposal came directly out of the employer-sanctions section of the immigration-reform bill approved with overwhelming Democratic support last year.

It would raise the minimum fine on employers from $250 per hired alien to $5,000 per alien. And it would raise the maximum fine from $10,000 per alien to $40,000 per alien.

HYPOCRITES/DUMMYCRATS!
