Here's what Snow relayed to us yesterday about his boss's view of stem cell research, the 70 percent of us in favor of it and the medical community that believes it will help people have better lives:

"What the President has said is that he doesn't want human life destroyed. Now, you may consider that insignificant, but the President has said…. [he] believes strongly that for the purpose of research it's inappropriate for the federal government to finance something that many people consider murder; he's one of them.

"The simple answer is he thinks murder is wrong. The President is not going to get on the slippery slope of taking something that is living and making it dead for the purpose of research.

And here's the life-affirming president himself in 2001:

"I believe human life is a sacred gift from our creator," Bush said in an August 2001 nationally televised address on the stem-cell issue. "I worry about a culture that devalues life, and I believe as your president I have an obligation to foster and encourage respect for life in America and throughout the world."

And, perhaps knowing the moment would come when he would nuke the hopes of people with diseases like diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's with a veto like the one he's about to deliver, Bush said this in his State of the Union address in January of 2006:

"Human life is a gift from our creator and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale."

This from a guy who has the blood of over 2,500 of our troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis on his hands because of his discretionary war and who, as Governor of Texas, executed so many people they had to replace 'the chair' with electric bleachers.
Just lovely. This is total complete hipocrisy. When this idiot lying moron was governor of Texas where was his compassion for Carla Faye Tucker who became a Born Again Christian while in jail, who repented and regretted her crime and was a model prisoner and begged mercy only to receive none from Bush! And this from a man that abuses the American Military in Iraq for his personal corporate war in Iraq, many American soldiers there were killed simply because they were not equipped properly so when this idiot moron talks about being pro life remember its all lies smoke and mirrors clever little sound bites to tug on human emotions please do not buy into his lies.
