Did I really hear that Bush met with former frozen embryos?

[usregimechange]

What about former frozen sperm cells? Are kids murdered when adults masterbate and don't utilize their gametes? Are the leaders in Iran that radical?

1. big pic on front page of NYT yesterday of bush holding the babe

with lots of smiling moms surrounding him--in the white house--they had a birthday paper--upper fold no less

[reality based]

4. He was failing to support the head of the infant he was holding

You would think that a politician would have learned to do that. The baby's mother had a smile on her face but you could see the tension and concern in her hand. What an self absorbed idiot!

2. The GOP is fond of the snowflake generation

they never need welfare

:eyes:

3. yeah and it's not like there are thousands of kids in foster care...

...that need love and to be adopted. Grr.

5. He didn't have the nerve to meet with me, or the MILLIONS of others

like me who can benefit from stem-cell research.

Most of us are sick, and/or in pain, and angry as hell.

And sick, angry people don't look "cute" on camera...

I HATE the bastard. I hate him, and I don't care if that offends some.

6. what will it take to get Bush to listen to you?-or groups like you?

[blondeatlast]

7. I don't think he will under any circumstances. What he'll do

is find the 'cult of "life"'/SCR opposition victims of diseases like diabetes, Parkinson's, etc. for a photo op. Mark my words on this.

I can tell you that there are precious few of them, but I'm guessing this has already happened, if it isn't in progress.

I'd like to see the partisanship taken out of this issue. Spector and Hatch have long been advocates for SCR, and they deserve our respect and trust, but I've already seen some DUers questioning their motives.

8. the really stupid thing about this photo-op is the scale

He's standing there with what, about 10-15 kids?

According to two-year old estimates, there are at least 400,000 excess frozen embryos in fertility clinics in the US.

So while he gets his front page picture, his detachment from reality remains brutally obvious to anyone with half of a brain.

sheesh.
