So, Democrats think they have found a winning political issue with public funding of embryonic stem cell research. The issue seems to present a classic battle of science versus religion, and Democrats always know which side of that fight they……

I did not know that Conservative was a party. But I’d like to know what you think I should tell Bill Frist, Orrin Hatch, Charles Krauthammer, Nancy Reagan, John Warner, Mike Castle, Ralph Regula, Duke Cunningham and well, I’m getting tired of typing the names of conservatives who agree with me and not you, but you get my point.

Pablo, I was faily young when Reagan was president but from talking to my mother, it seems she was always under the impression that she did not share her husband’s politics.

In fact, though my mother disagrees with Nancy Reagan on a host of issues, she said she very much admires how she stood by her husband despite having a difference of opinion and basically didn’t speak negatively of him in public.

Is it just that Nancy disagreed with him a a few select issues but was still a conservative Republican or what?

And you’re right, conservative is not a political party. Neither is liberal. In fact, considering Roe has been law for a significant amount of time now, I’d say conservatives are liberal on some issues.

Why this election matters! Part II: It’s the leadership, stupid!…

I wasn’t even going to bother commenting on the Michael J. Fox thing that’s been going on lately because, quite honestly, I saw it for what it was: a Democratic Party attempt to fool voters into thinking the wrong things about Republicans and get the…

“Now, people are telling me that they have seen Michael J. Fox in interviews and he does appear the same way in the interviews as he does in this commercial for Claire McCaskill. All right, then I stand corrected. I’ve seen him on Boston Legal. I’ve seen him on a number of stand-up appearances. I know he’s got it; it’s pitiable that he has the disease. It is a debilitating disease, and I understand that fully. Just stick with me on this.

All I’m saying is I’ve never seen him the way he appears in this commercial for Claire McCaskill. So I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act, especially since people are telling me they have seen him this way on other interviews and in other television appearances.”

“Michael J. Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited and in the process is shilling for a Democrat politician. In the process of doing that, creating an impression like John Edwards tried to do that is not reality. Michael J. Fox is using his illness as a way to mislead voters into thinking that their vote for a single United States Senator has a direct impact on stem cell research in Missouri. It doesn’t, and it won’t. So Mr. Fox is using his illness as another tactic to try to secure the election of a Democrat senator by implying that with her election, that we’ll be on the road to stem cell research her opponent opposes and people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease as he does will have a cure. It’s a negative ad, and negative ads work, and people criticize them all the time as I am doing to this one, but when you see it, there’s something wrong about it in the get-go. It’s the exploitation of someone’s illness. I wonder if this would become a trend and all kinds of illness were being exploited how people would end up reacting to it and feeling about it. So if this was not an act, then I apologize. I’ve not seen this type of appearance by Michael J. Fox before and that’s why it struck me the way it did. But despite all that, I mean it’s pitiable and it’s very sad anybody has this disease, because it is debilitating in ways that people that don’t have it don’t even understand. But to exploit it like this in misrepresenting the political agenda of a particular candidate, there’s nothing admirable about that.”

Sarcasm, Just one more service I offer.

Limbaugh mocks Michael J. Fox political ad
Conservative talk show host accuses actor of faking Parkinson’s disease

This is the Op/ed headline masquerading as a news story over on MSNBC’s homepage. Wow! It is like they have no shame. Blatant effort to misquote and take out of context. I feel like I have just entered the Twilight Zone!

Luckily, stem cell research is not the main issue in this election.

The voters know what matters and will see this as slimey and vote for Steele.

Fox is Canadian, he should pester his own country’s medical research. I’m sure there are other Canadians who have Parkinsan, but they’re not hollywood millionaires, they can’t get US doctors, they have to rely on Canada. So I guess he’ll bring all the Canadians to the USA for treatment??

I feel sorry for him because even though he has his senses about him I think he is being manipulated by the Dems. It is evident in that he is making 5 of these ads. I can understand his frustration and motive but I also believe that he has another agenda as well.

He made the ad for Cardin though Cardin voted against SCR. Fox had to know that. He has his foundation and is following this closely. If he did not know then one certainly would think it prudent to find out before he made an ass of himself.

In any event, he backs the guy who voted against it and will not support the guy who would have voted for it (Steele will vote for a bill on ESCR is the embryo is not destroyed). This is where I think the second agenda comes in. In addition to the stem cell issue, he wants Democrats in office.

He backed Kerry who was going to make Christopher Reeve walk?? I believe that it is kind of pathetic and I actually feel sorry for the guy.

Did Fox know Cardin voted Nay?

The latest October stunt of a panicky left is already beginning to backfire on them. Isn’t it funny how the truth will win out? Mr. Fox is cloning (pardon the pun) his ad for various Donk candidates. The real problem with this one for Cardin is tha…

Perhaps Mr. Fox would care to share with the electorate his view on other issues, so we can better judge if he has other motives for making this ad?

In typical liberal form, Michael J. Fox has taken his disease and turned it into a political issue. This is also know as exploitation. Whatever you wish to call it, this liberal idea and must be exposed. Rush, Hannity, and the blogosphere are all ove…..

C should be the scientists who study this stuff, and D should be just about every disease advocacy foundation on the planet. Where do Frist, Krauthammer, Lott, et al fit on the list?

Ok, you’ve got me there. I tend to take the scientists out of the equation since most politicos are only interested in bending scientific research to suit their agendas.
Frist is irrelevent IMO (political hack), but Krauthammer-that’s a man I respect. I guess he’d fit in the D(ish), C, and A category… Keep in mind I put everyone in the A category. It is emerging science after all. But, if the embryonic and adult stem cells are apples and oranges (which I did not know, are they really? I thought a stem cell was a stem cell, except that ESC’s grow aggressively?)it makes my point a bit moot.

It’s tough to take a bunch of voters who don’t really understand this issue and make it an issue for them. I can see why the dems want to control it.
