The cruelest President who ever lived.

[DanCa]

Hope is such a fragile, fleeting thing isn't it? Yesterday afternoon congress gave hope to thousands of Americans by passing the H.R. 810 stem cell enhancement bill.
People went to sleep knowing that their might be relief to their suffering. Parents went to bed with the hope of their children's pain being eliminated. People...no I...went to bed with the hope of knowing that I might be able to get off of "welfare" and start living a life of productivity.

Yesterday after noon congress gave me hope.
This after noon, the President is expected to veto H.R. 810 and slam shut the window of hope that I experienced. And the hope that thousands of Americans experienced will be washed away forever by a mere pen stroke.

How can anyone put sick people through this and not be considered a monster? How can anyone put people through this and still be considered a Christian? How can anyone put people through this and still be considered human? How can anyone put people through this and still be considered a man?

If the President goes through with this veto I will at least have the comfort in knowing that President bystander's claim to be "religious" is a sham. And that he's facade would be revealed before the whole world.

To me he is no longer the worst President in history. He is simply the cruelest President who ever lived.

[buff2]

1. Worse than Hitler

"Parents went to bed with the hope of their children's pain being elevated."


You might want to change that to ELIMINATED. One word can make a world of difference in what you are trying to say. :hi:

[DanCa]

4. Done

Thank you for the recommendation. It's early in the morning and the caffefine hasn't kicked in :D

[buff2]

14. I know what you mean.

I have to proof read everything I write....otherwise it would be chucked full of mistakes. :7

[DanCa]

15. Actually I think my typing has improved slightly.

They switched me from Miraprex to Stalevo and my hand tremors aren't as severe as they were six months ago. I still need to use the spell check and work on my grammer but I think that their has been some improvement. If nothing else my concentration is better and my posts aren't all over the place. :D
Hugs and Peace - Danny.

[tavalon]

75. You are correct

Your thought process has always been razor sharp but you now have way fewer typos. I'm glad your meds are working better. I'm sorry that the creature who claims to be God's messenger wasn't just a stem cell line.

[The Backlash Cometh]

37. "Worse than Hitler." Wow! How powerful!

That describes Bush succinctly.

[brentspeak]

53. Bush is the worst president this country has ever had, but

the Hitler comparisons are bizarre and pointless. They also trivialize the death and destruction that Hitler caused.

(Sorry to sound judgemental on this, but that's just the way I see it.)

[mucifer]

2. Did you know slavery existed in this country? No child labor laws?

Bush is evil but there were presidents that were more cruel than him.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. The difference being, perhaps,

that slavery had existed for millenia as did child labor, and no one thought it was "bad"; stem cell research has started and shown promise, and Bush is quashing it-to my mind, that is more cruel than perpetuating bad institutions that had been around for a long time.

[Laurab]

60. What you said!

It is far more cruel. I see this as comparing apples to oranges, really. Slavery and child labor, while terrible things, had been around for a long time. Today, we know how cruel those things were, but back then, well, I wasn't there, I admit, but I am thinking it was somewhat accepted by many as being okay. Sort of like some people today think it's ok to see gay people as less than human, and try to take basic civil rights from them.

This pResident has inflicted more cruelty on us and on the world, than I could ever have imagined a United States President could inflict, and today, he took away HOPE for millions of Americans, because of politics. In my mind, he is by far the cruelest - he is an evil little man, who cares nothing for anyone else. And I hesitate to use the word "man".

[buff2]

6. WHO,for Khrist's sake?

Name ONE President in this country who has been more cruel and heartless than the idiot? :wtf:

[mucifer]

16. ALL of the presidents before Lincoln did not stop slavery

Many of them had slaves. They were more cruel than bush. Bush is evil but lets be realistic.

[Bridget Burke]

25. None of those presidents started slavery.

Bush has invented a new way to be cruel.

I'd also consider starting an illegal war as cruel. And ignoring danger signs so 9/11 could happen--then campaigning on his giant failure.

[mucifer]

26. so they weren't cruel because they let this happen in their country

when they were president. BTW other countrys will do the stem cell research. China or Israel or somewhere else will do the research and make the money.

[DanCa]

30. And they are passing laws that

wont let me back in this country if I pursued therapy outside the United States. How cruel is that. Money? Is that all people care about these days.

[DemonFighterLives]

32. So we should just let everyone get out front on this?

Slavery itself is cruel, but I suspect there were some kind masters out there.
Anyway, that was then and this is now. dubby and his wars and mayhem and his long list of capital punishment cases and now this put him on a very short list of cruel-to-evil presidents.
Oh wait- he wasn't even elected so he is the cruelest ever make believe pResident.

[DanCa]

34. Cool. I want that t -shirt

The cruelest ever make believe President. In the spirit of Henry Clay I accept your compromise. :D :thumbsup: :hug:

[DemonFighterLives]

36. dubby has not signed a veto yet has he

If he chooses this one, he is really a knucklehead, if not already.
These cells just get thrown away now in many cases.
Research is taboo to the neocons.
:pals:

[DanCa]

27. Stealling people's social security also rates fairly high on my list.

Not to mention the Katrina failure, smearring veterans, and trying to get people to pay for being rescued from a war zone.

[stepnw1f]

40. Notice How Far Back You Need to Go

to find a President more cruel. And on top of that, it was an entirely different time. You are comparing apples with oranges to make a defensible argument for a giggling murderous cheerleader who went AWOL. Why bother?

[Just Me]

58. BusCO spearheaded a different form of slavery, an economic one.

It's indiscriminate.

[madokie]

5. one of the cruelest persons ever.

Hang in there for in a short time we will exercise our right to vote and the crawford coward will be headed to the courts to be decided upon his sentence.

[midnight]

12. Madokie are you talking about the elections in the Fall?

In either case, I wish it were the exercise of voting that I could count on!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

7. Every time I think of Christopher Reeve I get so angry at *

for his stance on stem cell research.

I would bet anything that had there been research, had there been therefore any realistic hope, Reeve would still be among us.

To say nothing of the many, many, many others.

[DanCa]

9. Christopher Reeve was truly a Superman.

He was my idol as a kid, and my mentor as an adult. It's the truth. I probably wouldn't have heard of SCR if it wasn't for him.
RIP Chris, your still the best Superman ever

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

13. Yes, he was. His courage was superhuman. Steve Benson's

cartoon after Reeve passed was of Superman flying.



Brings tears to my eyes still just thinking of his passing.

[bdamomma]

63. Chistopher Reeve was a true advocate for stem cell research

bush has showed us another side of himself, he just does not give a shit for mankind and life.

[Bhaisahab]

8. Cruelest President Ever. K&R n/t

[Philosoraptor]

10. History will remember his as the stupidest and cruelest.

And the most clueless.

[JuniperLea]

28. And the president who caused the most damage

To the Constitution, civil rights, the environment, and any hope of world peace.

[Alamom]

11. K&R......DanCa, he has no heart or soul. He has no feelings for

the suffering of millions.

He is simply the cruelest President who ever lived.


"This" can not be said enough.

[buff2]

19. I agree 100%

Out of all the Presidents I can remember,I've never seen one so evil and heartless. Everytime I see that bastard it makes me think he is the DEVIL. He looks and acts evil,and I do my best to avoid looking at him. I've never felt such hatred toward any one human being in my life. In fact,I don't recall ever "hating" anyone at all........until he came along. He is the most repulsive person on this planet,IMHO. :puke:

[bdamomma]

64. geez. I have never had so much hate in my heart since this

man stole the presidency. and I hope he pays a heavy price for all suffering he has caused many.

[China_cat]

17. If they passed the bill, they can damn well override the veto.

And that would send a better message than just the passing of it did.

[DanCa]

20. From an emotional stand point only

Part of me thinks that it would have been better if H.R. 810 was voted down. I know it sounds kind of selfish but I think it would have been a more humane thing to do. This was just a dog and poney show for his base. How dare they play games with peoples lives like this.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

47. I thought so too until I listened to Rachel

Maddow's show this AM. Her guest was the author of the bill -can't remember her name. Getting old and senile stinks.

Anyway, the congresswoman said that they didn't pass the bill with enough votes to make it veto proof. But she is not concerned - she will add it as an amendment to other bills that have to be passed - like appropriations.

[bdamomma]

65. I heard her also, but her name I can't remember right now.

[Olney Blue]

18. What if we had a president who believes in science?

John Kerry- Democratic Convention

We have to keep fighting to get this research. WE CANNOT STOP.

I went on a tour of the Promega facility (a biotech company) in Wisconsin this week. They sponsor stem cell research
symposia because there are scientists out there trying to get by without federal funding- in spite of the blivet's
"moral" stance. God, I hate the chimpanzee for his ignorance.

[DanCa]

21. My favorite John Kerry quote from the debates was as follows.

"If President Bush were around when Edison invented the light bulb that he would have sided with the candlestick lobby." That just about sums it up perfectly. I just wish that President Cruel would tour a stem cell lab before he vetos the bill. Or spend the day in my wheel chair. Is that too much to ask?

[Olney Blue]

24. DanCa, it might be the only way that

he would begin to understand what is at stake with this research. Even ultra-conservative
Nancy Reagan saw the light, but only after a personal experience.

I wish Nancy would come out after the blivet's veto and condemn the act in a very vocal way.

[buff2]

22. What upsets me the most

is his decisions are all WRONG for the American people and he wasn't even ELECTED. Here's someone who STOLE both elections and he thinks he has the RIGHT to destroy everything good in this country. God almighty......I can't believe this idiot hasn't been physically removed from office by MILLIONS of outraged Americans. Why people sit back and do nothing about this insane madman is a mystery to me. He's doing more and more damage every day he is in power. I cringe at the thought of what else he is going to do in the next 2 plus years. I live in fear everyday........for ALL of us. :scared:

[DanCa]

23. He's their philosophy in a suit.

They see him as the physical embodiment of their ideals. If President Cruel fails than so does conservatism. That's the way the thirty two percent think. If President Cruel fails than they fail. Some people would rather die than admit that they are wrong. That's the mentality that we are dealling with.

[Olney Blue]

35. Well-said.

[hedgehog]

29. Woodrow Wilson is in the running

He's benefited from good press for almost a hundred years, but we're taking a second look. He instituted programs that perfectly match Bush's attacks on personal freedoms and was preparing to enter WWI even as he campaigned on a Peace platform. What he did to reinforce Jim Crow is something we're still recovering from.

[Lancer]

31. Wilson was also anti-Semitic,

as his writings show. He was a hero of mine for many years, but not anymore. And I'm not even Jewish.

Returning to the topic, I don't as yet need any benefits stem cell research would provide, yet I wouldn't hesitate for one second to cast a vote in favor of it. Oh, that's right. I'm a decent human being.

[HughBeaumont]

33. Not to mention he and his wife were racists to the core.

[hedgehog]

39. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Wilson big on eugenics?

I know he considered Blacks to be inferior, but I vaguely recall he wanted to eliminate non-Anglo-Saxons and anyone with any kind of "defect" from the gene pool.

[HughBeaumont]

41. According to these two articles -

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2003-09-14-book-usat_x.htm
http://www.larouchepub.com/impeach_ridge/ridge_6.html

There were many in the upper echelon of TOTC America that supported eugenics.

[MoseyWalker]

38. I didn't have a lot of hope anyway

The talking heads said the Senate wouldn't be able to override a veto, so what was the point of voting on it in the first place? So some senators could pretend to support it for their constituencies?

The worst, the cruelest.........and oh so much more.

[Canuckistanian]

42. Don't give up hope

The brain-dead Chimp may veto this bill, but stem-cell reasearch goes on in many other countries around the world, including mine. In fact, in the field of stem cell reasearch, the US is lagging far behind other countries. And biotech companies are recognizing this and are funding projects in countries such a the UK.

Here's a good article from 2004 on the "debate" on stem cell reasearch.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25071-2004Aug22.html

In other words, there is work being done still - it just won't come from America.

George Bush made sure of that.

[Hissyspit]

43. Again...

Welcome back. (Bruce did "Mrs. McGrath" in New Jersey. It was great.)

[LA lady]

44. because of Federal funding??

I have MS but I think just as much hope lies in adult stem cell research. In fact, I am MORE optimistic about it.

He isn't STOPPING the embryonic research, private companies and the drug industry can do as much research as they want to. There are thousands of cell lines from fertility clinics donated to them everyday.

Not fair to act like he is saying NO to others in this country, he didn't.

He has plenty of faults but the research can go on (even though I think it won't likely pan out).
The drug that controls my MS was not found by the Federal government but by a drug company. That's why meds are so high, they do expensive research.

[Olney Blue]

67. LA lady, I'm sorry about your MS. But not STOPPING is not good enough.

Federal funds primarily go to the universities to drive basic research. The ability to obtain a federal research grant
would make a huge difference in the RATE that it would get done. In addition, the best and brightest would move
toward research that would allow them to fund their laboratories.

[DanCa]

72. The republicans are doing all they can to ban the research

Trust me I have lobbied against such bills. Adult research is more effective than embryonic research? Not according to all the researcher that I've read and the doctors and scientist that i've talked to. Do you homework and visit a stem cell lab please. You have a drug that works for your system that's great.

I am happy for you. I want my symptons to be "GONE"!!! Not to mention that they have terrible side effects. And we could have had a less expensive drugs if people knew how to vote in this country. Just ask any senior about his perscription drug plan. And by signing a veto to outlaw this bill he is saying no to everyone that's sick.

Now the question remains why should someone suffer because of someone elses religious belief's? The answer is beyond me. And may I please have a link to were these thousands of stem cell lines may be? I am sure Dr Cady would like to know where he can get more cell lines.

[zulchzulu]

45. He's too stupid to be cruel...he's like a chimp..he really is

Chimpy is dumber than a bag of dirt when it really gets down to it. He's lazy, inept, sloppy, arrogant and selfish. I used to think he might be a decent baseball commissioner, but I now feel he would suck at even that kind of job.

[Skittles]

46. but he cares about LIFE, Dan!!

unless it is civilians in Iraq or Karla Faye.

[happynewyear]

48. well so much for a cure for MS

too bad for those afflicted with this illness. Shut the hell up I guess is the message and suffer.

No hope, no hope, no hope again. :(

[AzDar]

49. He's a treasonous, brain-damaged, mentally-ill , little fuckface.

He's aiding and abetting the destruction of our country, and perhaps the world, with his tunnel-vision lunacy.
Our very own Nero.

[Homer Wells]

50. This is typical behavior

for the President of Dumbfuckistan!

:puke: :mad:

[DanCa]

51. And now

His veto goes to a house over ride vote. They just love pouring salt in the wounds.

[mod mom]

52. Showing his true colors. Anyone who would consider calling him/herself

a republican these days knowing what they stand for, is despicable.

[brentspeak]

54. "Worst president who ever lived" is how I would put it

[DanCa]

55. Brent thank you for your support.

I missed you :hug:

[brentspeak]

56. You're welcome

Hope you're doing better physically these days. Or, if not now, in the future.

[Vinca]

57. He's the cruelest and the worst.

This has been a really bad day for America. I don't know when I've been madder. The icing on the cake was his exploitation of the so-called "snowflake" babies. What about the snowflakes in the trash with the medical waste? Why can't you have both babies and medical research? Grrrrrrr. I'm especially feeling bad for you, DanCa. Is there any way you can connect with foreign research?

[SensibleAmerican]

59. What you saw today was the ugly face of the pro-death wing of the

Republican Party.

[bdamomma]

61. President

how dare we call this thug and criminal a President, he is not a President, he is arrogant and ignorant, and does not give a rat's ass for anyone.

[tinfoil tiaras]

62. I agree

He's such a fucking hypocrite too. The bastard. He aint a vegan. Nor is he anti-death penalty so he has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to talk about how "life is scared". His precious little war has killed over 10,000 people (military and civilian..i think I'm right, correct me if i'm not).

I can't believe him. I hope he gets Alzheimer's and see how it feels. Then he'll start to pray that he didn't veto that damn bill.....

[Mr_Spock]

66. Bush only likes actions that murder people, but he loves globs of cells

What a heartless motherfucking murdering moron he is. Burn in hell you son of a bitch.

[DanCa]

68. Bush is spending too much time

Curled up under his desk and praying in a fetal position if you ask me :D

[tavalon]

76. I hate to disagree

but I don't see much that indicates prayerfulness from this creature. What need does the antichrist have to pray to anyone or anything? Actually, I don't believe in such things anymore, but if I did, Bush and Cheney would be vying for that title with their stupid, stupid sheep happily bleating along to hell in a handbasket.

[NMMNG]

69. Oh, but think of the snowflakes!

:sarcasm:









:hug:

[DanCa]

70. Maybe they'll melt in hot weather?

Hi Buffy I missed you :hug:

[NMMNG]

71. Likewise

It's been a while. I liked your letter yesterday--you should send it to the papers.

[DanCa]

73. I sent it to the Herald

And to the Chicago Sun Times and Tribune. I haven't gotten a response back from them.

[NMMNG]

74. Hopefully at least one of them will print it

It deserves a wide audience.
