Biden Opens Mouth Again: More Garbage Spews Out
From CBS: John McCain's campaign expressed outrage over comments made by Joe Biden, who used disabled children as an example to criticize Republicans who do not support stem cell research.
McCain spokesman Ben Porritt took the attack as being directed at GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who has a child with Down syndrome.
"Barack Obama's running mate sunk to a new low today launching an offensive debate over who cares more about special needs children," wrote Porritt in a statement. "Playing politics with this issue is disturbing and indicative of a desperate campaign."
Biden made the comment at a town hall style meeting in Columbia, MO, today, saying, "I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?"
The line received a standing ovation from the crowd of several hundred.
The Obama campaign denied the statement was directed at Palin, saying Biden was pointing out that between the McCain-Palin ticket and Bush Administration there was "not a dime's worth of a difference" on stem cell research.
In a statement to reporters, Biden's press secretary, David Wade, wrote "Long story short: couldn't be farther from being a comment about Gov. Palin."
My Comments: C'mon -- the public isn't that stupid! It was an obvious slam. Biden, of course, omitted the word EMBRYONIC stem cell research, which involves the destruction of human life, that he supports so strongly. Biden's comment makes no sense whatsoever, other than being extremely disgusting. How can anyone vote for someone (like Biden) who doesn't want to serve the public, but only wants to destroy them?

In case Biden doesn't know, embryonic stem cell research has never produced one cure in the history of their research.
ReplyDeleteAdult Stem Cell Research on the other hand has produced over 20 plus cures, is not rejected by the patient (the cells are obtained from the patient), is ethical and moral.
Since you cannot get "filthy rich" from this like a potential for the embryonic setem cell, the researcher will not have access to unlimited money from the government and politicians will not get large kick backs from these researchers, and no babies are killed, politicians aren't interested.
