Brew on Bush on life

Brew points to the president the other day:

“I made it very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers’ money to promote science which destroys life in order to save life is - I’m against that. And therefore, if the bill does that, I will veto it.’”

And comments:

Apparently our President’s thoughs on the preservation of human life...apply only to that nasty-nasty we liberals call “science,” because he’s made it absolutely clear that he has no problem with destroying lives to “save lives” - especially if those who’s lives he destroys don’t worship his god, or don’t look like him.

I thought it was noteworthy then, but today Brew’s back at it:

The House has voted to pass the stem cell bill, which will ease White House restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. President Bush, who apparently flunked every science class he ever took, has promised to veto any bill which he thinks destroys life - unless of course it involves spending $80 billion to destroy a third world country.

Good point.
