I'd trust a Used Car Salesman

Before I'd believe anything that came out of CommieTommie Harkin's mouth.

CommieTommie, pictured with CIETC's Ramona Cunningham (whom he never met), responded with his usual lies in his press release regarding President Bush's veto of the so called Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.

"...The American people should not be fooled - there is no substitute for this type of research..."

"...there is no alternative to the promise offered by embryonic stem cell research."

No substitute? No alternative?

Dr. Mary Davenport, obstetrician-gynecologist, and a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology said last fall...

The plain fact is that embryonic stem cell research is proving to be a bust. There are currently 72 therapies showing human benefits using adult stem cells and zero using embryonic stem cells.

The fact is that adult stem cells have already produced remarkable cures, whereas embryonic stem cells have failed.

What I wrote after the last veto still stands...

George Bush is the first president to approve federal funding for stem cell research. There are lines of stem cells now available. There is no ban, President Bush vetoed expanding federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. If embryonic stem cell research was so promising it would attract private investment, like Adult stem cell research.

The only fools, Senator, are the ones who keep voting for you and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Shamelessly CommieTommie had to drag out another family member for his dog & pony show...

"...legislation that offered hope to millions of Americans....and in my nephew's case, spinal cord injuries."

"...We will continue to pursue expanded stem cell research funding until it becomes law -- for my nephew, Kelly...".

It reminds me of every election campaign when he would put his deaf brother Frank in his commercials.

Anything for a vote.
