AP News Alert:WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush has issued the first veto of his presidency, rejecting a bill to expand federal research on stem cells obtained from embryos.Of all the things to pull out the veto pen for.....
Don't get me wrong, I'm as pro-life as they come and I think federally funded embyonic stem cell research is a horrible idea...isn't all federally funded research a bad idea?
I just think there are more important things for Congress and the President to be focused on right now...
UPDATE (5PM): AP News Alert:
WASHINGTON (AP) The House has passed legislation protecting the "under God" phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance by restricting federal court rulings on the pledge.I've got nothing left for this...
UPDATE 2 (6:30PM):Of course, the Democrat running for governor here in Ohio couldn't even get this vote right either. Honestly, when issues like this come up, you have to do the right thing and get on the record as protecting American values... Ted Strickland continues to prove that he is out of touch with Ohio's and America's values.
I suppose the "bright side" for Strickland is that at least he showed up for work today.....
