Edwards Statement on President Bush Veto of Stem Cell Research Bill
Edwards Statement on President Bush Veto of Stem Cell Research Bill
John Edwards for President
Wednesday, June 20, 2007

----
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Senator John Edwards released the following statement today criticizing President Bush's veto of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.

"President Bush had a simple choice today: direct the full force of American scientific ingenuity towards responsible, life-saving medical research or pander to a narrow segment of his political base. With his veto, he made the wrong choice, pushing medical breakthroughs that could help millions of Americans further away. We need a president who will embrace science-driven policy, rather than politically-biased science."

4. John Edwards is okay with me, it's the stupid media
that keep dictating to us who we should be voting for Clinton or Obama, can it be any clearer, they are herding us again, just like cattle.

5. turn off the MSM. you control who you vote for on primary day. if you
like Edwards, vote Edwards. if you like Kucinich, vote Kucinich. no votes are throw-away on primary day.

7. Exactly. The MSM wrote off Kerry and Edwards last time
At this stage in 2003 Kerry was a weak 3rd and Edwards was tied with Sharpton for 6th. When the voters had their say they finished 1-2. :)
