President Bush (news - web sites), eager to hand another victory to the social conservatives who make up his most loyal base of political support, decided on an elaborate ceremony to sign into law legislation expanding legal rights of the unborn.

(snip)

Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), D-Mass., Bush's opponent in this fall's election voted against the bill.


Bush has said he doesn't believe the country is ready to completely ban abortions; he opposes them except in cases of rape or incest or when pregnancy endangers a woman's life. That position has become a standard line in most of his speeches.


"We stand for a culture of life in which every person counts and every person matters. We will not stand for the treatment of any life as a commodity to be experimented upon, exploited or cloned," the president told GOP donors to his campaign at a fund-raiser in Washington Tuesday night.

Sort of like Kerry saying that he likes rap, on MTV the other night.

Yawn.

2. irony alert?

"We stand for a culture of life in which every person counts and every person matters. We will not stand for the treatment of any life as a commodity to be experimented upon, exploited or cloned,"

Except if HE is the one treating a life as a commodity in his little war games. The it is perfectly okay to disregard life.

5. Ask him about stem cell research.

Which as far as I know, he vehemently opposed until a talk with Nancy Reagan about Ron's condition.

These people will say anything.

3. What a hypocrite!

We stand for a culture of life in which every person counts and every person matters. We will not stand for the treatment of any life as a commodity to be experimented upon, exploited or cloned," the president told GOP donors to his campaign at a fund-raiser in Washington Tuesday night.

Where is his respect for human life when it comes to sending our loved ones to die and be maimed in Iraq? Don't the rights of Iraqis count? What about a nation which refuses to provide decent, affordable health care for the already living?

He makes me sick to my stomach.

8. "We stand for a culture of life...

...in which every person counts and every person matters."

Unless they're Iraqis, eh George?

10. Will there be a picture of white men with him when he signs it?

That way we could have a pair of these pictures. One for the "late-term abortion" bill signing and then this.

We might be able to do some fund-raising with these.
