Yes, this really is a picture of my daughter at the blastocyst stage, about 100 cells and five days after fertilization. This is what researchers will destroy, funded in part by taxpayer dollars in the future, in order to come up with a miracle cure for something even though privately funded research has come up with nothing.  Adult stem cell research has shown promise, and it doesn’t destroy anything.  And through that kind of research, you can potentially use your own DNA to create parts you might need one day.  Way to put science first, eh?

Going against the liberal thought, PJ O’Rourke, a cancer patient, slams Obama for his justification of allowing federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.  I say going against liberal thought because liberals think people always vote in their own self interests — got cancer, vote for stem cell research that might cure it; make less than $250,000, vote for the guy that will give you a tax break.  However, some of us actually vote based on principles, something liberals just don’t understand.

So, take a look, Obama.  That’s a picture of my daughter up there, and I would no sooner destroy that to cure my mom of diabetes than destroy her now, as an almost three-year-old, in the same vain.

As Redstate is reporting that Obama is gearing up his propaganda machine against the Republicans again, the GOP needs to get out in front of this mess — especially the House Republicans.  They need to start introducing Obama’s broken or forgotten conservative campaign promises as legislative alternatives.  Rep. Boehner and company need to introduce them one at a time and force Pelosi to show her hand when she doesn’t allow their bills on the calendar. 

The first one that comes to mind is ending capital gains taxes on small businesses.  When Obama introduced his plan today, I didn’t hear one word of it.  I did hear what sounds like him turing the Small Business Administration into another Fannie / Freddie.  Let’s just hope he doesn’t let them chop up the loans and sell derivatives Merrill Lynch who will get them insured by AIG.  Sounds like a recipe for disaster, eh? 

Back to my original point, they also need to introduce legislation to keep the promise that Obama would remove income taxes from seniors who make less than $50,000.  There are also several pro-military promises Obama made that could easily be introduced, such as pay raises.

This way, they aren’t the party of no.  They can sell it as being supportive of Obama while keeping their principles.  The problem is they need to sell it — they had a great alternative to Porkulus, as Redstate points out, but no one knew about it.  To sell this, they need to be on every show, at every microphone, telling the country they have this legislation on the table that are promises Obama made and they are trying to help him keep them.  They can also blame Pelosi for keeping the legislation off the calendar.
