McCain/ Palin: For funding stem-cell research.

[glowing]

An ad on a Country-Western radio station in the Tampa-Bay area. So, when exactly did Republicans embrace or fund stem-cell research? How do they get to lie? Isn't there some kind of ethics review of campaigns to make sure that they do NOT lie or distort. If I'm a dumb-ass redneck, now I think they support stem-cell research (whatever that is, it sounds like a good thing).

1. John McCain said he's for it.

"Q: Would you expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research?

A: I believe that we need to fund this. This is a tough issue for those of us in the pro-life community. I would remind you that these stem cells are either going to be discarded or perpetually frozen. We need to do what we can to relieve human suffering. It's a tough issue. I support federal funding."

Sarah Palin is against it:

2. But most Republicans are not for it and I don't think he would push for funding.

The commercial embraced the Pigs running for House seats.. Trying to say that only Republicans want to fund this and will finally get er done. Nice to know McCain actually knows what stem-cells are.. Maybe he's hoping for a cure for his alzheimers!?!
