Never one to be hung up on progressing the nation, species, or anything resembling positive legislation, President Bush had vetoed a bill that would have opened a cap on federal funding for stem cell research. Citing his blind, illogical, and inaccurate faith in a 2000 years-dead Jew (who apparently believed a lot of things that churches which bear his name disagree with) as reason enough to not help those suffering with debilitating and fatal illnesses, Bush claims that he is taking the moral high ground:

“This bill would support the taking of innocent human life of the hope of finding medical benefits for others”

Which makes perfect sense; why help the people that are actually around, right? These are the future victims of America here, they must be protected! By the way, embryos aren’t people. Just thought I’d clear that up, in case there was any question in the matter.

Ironically, and in as shocking a moment as the Coulter mindfuck of 2005, Republican mouthpiece and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist actually supported the bill. When the President is too conservative for Frist, we’re in pretty bad shape.
Way to go, douchebag. Here’s hoping both your daughters get diabetes.
