I received this email from a St. Louis field rep for the MOGOP this morning:
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) U.S. Senator Jim Talent (R-Mo.) today issued the following statement:
"I personally cannot support the initiative because I've always been opposed to human cloning and this measure would make cloning human life at the earliest stage a constitutional right.
"As I've repeatedly said, at the federal level, I will continue to support new alternatives and research that hold promise to give us get exactly the stem cells we want to relieve human suffering without cloning.
"I would encourage every Missourian to study the initiative carefully and make up their own minds on this very difficult moral issue."
Jim Talent is the clear choice for Missouri.
Democrats should be afraid. Even if they win in Missouri, and in the Senate in general, they are going to have to reckon with the fact that they will become an amoral and unethical group of people. And by the time they realize that, they will have populated the country with little unethical clones.
(Allah and I don't agree on this, but
he's got the video and a crazy discussion to get you thinking.)
Update: Check out
Jo Mannies' post on Danforth and Talent. I like how she includes Danforth's brother's death and draws attention to its motivating implications, yet she--and the rest of the media--refuses to talk about what's really motivating Danforth: money.
Click around this website to see just how big a crush Washington University has on the Danforth's and their finances. My favorite part is the
lecture series held in the chapel that discusses getting faith out of politics. Classy.
