Republicans Message On Life Is Confusing

This clip of the President's Chief of Staff just shows how ridiculous their position is on stem cell research. Tony Snow claimed that federally funded stem cell research is murder. However, they are ok with private companies committing murder. If the President and the religious right believe that it is murder, than murder is murder regardless of who does it.

This is nothing new with Republicans. As we have seen with their stance on the death penalty(state sanctioned murder), or their attempts to keep Teri Schiavo alive by using machines or their position on abortion, they pick and chose when life is valuable or benefits their cause.

They are ok with using science to get someone pregnant, who wasn't "made" to have babies. They are ok with using science to keep someone alive who wasn't "made" to stay alive. They are ok with using science to stop someone for living who was "made" to stay alive, in the case of the death penalty. So why are they no ok with using the same science to help people find a cure for cancer or aids? Why are they not ok with using science to eliminate pandemic diseases? I bet if you told them stem cell research could create the "super" bomb, they would pass it tomorrow!!
