Kerry Unhinged
From Yahoo! News:
Democrat John Kerry, backed by 48 Nobel Prize winners, on Monday criticized President Bush for allowing ideology rather than facts to determine science policies and repeated his pledge to overturn the ban on federal funding of research on new stem cell lines.
"We need a president who will once again embrace our tradition of looking toward the future and new discoveries with hope based on scientific facts, not fear," Kerry told hundreds who braved a cold rain to hear him speak at an outdoor amphitheater, even though he was an hour and a half late.

Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said the president's budget increases federal research and development to $132 billion in 2005, a 44 percent increase since taking office.
"Only John Kerry would declare the country to be in scientific decline on a day when the country's first privately funded space trip is successfully completed," Schmidt said, referring to the first flight of a privately financed manned rocket over California.
Matt's Chat
This is all about stem-cell research. And I love how they politicize Reagan here... I believe it was last week; but recently, I read an article saying that stem-cell research was not going to be useful in finding a cure for Alzheimer's. Could it be that the presumptive nominee isn't on top of his reading? That's right, he's too busy reading Bill Clinton's garbage...9:00 Update

Don't confuse liberals with the true facts, Matt, they have a screed to rant on about, or some other drivel to espouse....
