Keep Wedgin'

Good for The US House for trying to do the work Americans sent them to Washington to do, regardless of Presidential veto threats. The country is on the record supporting federal funding for stem cell research, so why not continue to pass it? The President obviously doesn't care about the will of the people, but Republicans who want to keep their jobs might. Stem cell research is fast becoming a liberal wedge issue, and so until federal funding is allowed, there should be as many votes as possible about it.

By the way, I welcome this potential breakthrough to create embryonic stem cells through skin cells and without destroying embryos. If we can get away from this ridiculous argument that the blastocyst is sacred and move forward on allowing for R&D for medical research, all the better.
