Specter: Senate stem-cell override likely
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Arlen Specter said Sunday that he believes the Senate has enough votes to override a threatened presidential veto of legislation easing restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research, but a fellow Republican vowed to keep the bill from reaching the Senate floor.

-snip-

Specter also predicted that, if a march on Washington in favor of the bill were to be held, it would "turn a lot of people in the Congress who will look to see what their constituents are demanding."

-snip-

Brownback questioned "what it does to the culture of life" when government approves performing research on the embryos, which he considers "young human life."

Specter shot back, asking what it does "to the culture of life when you let people die because there are medical research tools which could keep them alive?"

1. " if a march on Washington in favor of the bill were to be held,"...
Senator, there was a march on Washington Jan. 6th. What did YOU do?

The next 'march on Washington' should be to REMOVE this CRIMINAL from office.

2. You reminded me of something Senator Bob Graham said at a rally
for Kerry in 2004...

"There are worse things than being impeached.... and it is removal from office." ---Senator Bob Graham, March, 2004


I totally agree with your post, BTW.

5. Vultures of Life
Revising and ignoring science is good. Don't keep any one alive past God's calling. Capital Punishment and War= Good. These Vultures like Brownb1ck need to stop and smell the roses.
