Later today, Bush will give a speech to tell us that he's vetoing the stem cell bill. Somehow, he's going to try to spin that he loves life so much that he won't let science advance -- and he's willing to let people die. Reuters has yet another analysis of the politics of the stem cell debate, and they don't work for Bush and the GOP:
The division among Republicans could have political fallout. Polls show most Americans support the research and Democrats are hoping a voter backlash against Republicans who oppose it will win them enough votes to seize control of Congress at the November mid-term election.Bush thinks his stubbornness appeals to his base. Once again, he's showing the theocrats determine his policy and his politics. Bush is building quite a death toll from his Presidency.
