Was Biden Talking About Palin During Stem Cell Research Reference?
(CBS)
(COLUMBIA, MO.) - Was Joe Biden referring to Sarah Palin, a mother of a child with Down syndrome, when he made this comment?
“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?”
Biden received a thunderous ovation when he made the remark at a town hall style meeting this morning in Columbia.
When asked for if this could be interpreted this as being about Palin, Biden’s press secretary, David Wade, issued this statement.
“This is a clash of policies not a clash of personalities. We've heard not a dime's worth of difference between the McCain-Palin ticket and the Bush Administration on medical breakthroughs that millions of parents and doctors believe could save lives and transform the quality of life for countless Americans.”
Stem cell saves lifes.. My Friend "McBush" doesn''t get it..

Considering all these lack of judgment happening and his lack of real experience, one can only conclude he is not fit to be President. Having a loud mouth is not enough. He was screeching yesterday while campaigning. He is losing it.
Experiance does matter- And Obama does not have what it takes to lead this country. Period. It is becoming more and more evident for those who doubted and more and more clear that it is a joke he has got to this point
Biden is so well spoken, and so frsh and clean.
maybe liberals will abort themselves into a permanent minority
A true scientist never precludes valid research by first deciding something will not work. Of course, intellectually challenged Repugnants would not understand that!
Biden''s remark was on the money and he should continue such attacks on the issue.
But we should willingly kill off those lives, to aid other more desired lives.
Can we do this with homeless people too? Round them up and harvest their organs? Or is that too much?
If you really think life begins at conception, then how is denying a human life a chance different that deliberately killing person X to save person Y; and if that''s ok, why don''t we do that with "less useful" members of society?

See all 18 CommentsStem Cell research is not illegal, nor was it banned by George Bush, as noted in several other posts.
The debate is over public funding of certain types of stem cell research. It''s laughable that you point to Jonas Salk as an example of what can be accomplished. Salk''s research was funded by NFIP and volunteers who ran the "March of Dimes", money donated by individuals toward the research.
Perhaps you should move to California, where in spite of budget deficits their political leaders choose to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer money on stem cell research.
