Bush to veto stem cell research

President Bush has promised his first veto of his 5 1/2 years in office if the Senate passes a bill that funds stem cell research. Here I thought he'd just do as he's done previously and sign the bill with a signing statement that basically says, "I'm not going to enforce this bill". Nope, he's going for the actual veto. He's taking a firm hand in placing microscopic blastocysts THAT ARE GOING TO BE THROWN OUT ANYWAY above the lives and quality of life of countless citizens suffering from a host of medical conditions. Unfortunately Congress lacks the 2/3rds majority to override a veto because so many Republicans are siding with the President.

Particular religious views are the only explanation for such asinine priorities. Hey, I've got an idea. Keep your fundamentalist bullshit out of our government!
