Mr. President, Veto the Culture of Death

The lib media are trying to hide the fact that they're in mourning.

The new Dem Congress isn't all-powerful.

There aren't enough votes to override a veto by President Bush on the Dems' EMBRYONIC stem cell bill.

WASHINGTON -- The House voted to expand government-financed embryonic stem cell research Thursday, but for the second time in two years lawmakers were unable to muster enough votes to overcome a promised presidential veto.

Still, the 253-174 vote was a high watermark in the stem cell debate, drawing advocates closer to the two-thirds vote threshold needed to override President Bush's objections.

Translation: It's a defeat, but we'll call it a win for the Culture of Death.

...Addressing "those who do not have the will to stand up against a presidential veto," freshman Rep. Zach Space, D-Ohio, described his 16-year-old son's battle against juvenile diabetes and wondered aloud what awaited him as an adult.

"This research represents the only meaningful hope for a cure in my son's lifetime," Space said.

Not true. Not even close.

...Thursday's vote set another milestone in the new Democratic leadership's march toward passing a string of campaign promises in the early days of the new congressional session.

Not really.

The votes to override a veto aren't there.

This isn't "another milestone in the new Democratic leadership's march toward passing a string of campaign promises."

It's a loss, a loss for the Dems and EMBRYONIC stem cell advocates.

It's a win for the Culture of Life.
