The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

Sunday morning on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” Senator Sam Brownback debated Arlen Specter over the subject of federal funding for stem cell research. While they are both republicans they are on opposite sides of this contentious debate. Senator Specter is suffering from Hodgkin’s disease. He vociferously argued in favor of increased federal money.

Specter’s main argument was that the 400,000 embryos currently in storage will either be used for science of destroyed. There is no chance of them all becoming children. Why waste these embryos if they could contribute ot meaningful scientific research?

Brownback, the poster child for “love the fetus, forget about the child” republicanism, attempted to argue his typical “all life is sacred” drivel. He looked noticably uncomfortable whenever Specter would hammer the point that these embryos will be destroyed anyway. This unmasked Brownback as the anti-cure neo-luddite christo-fascist that he is.

Perhaps the most poignant moment of the debate came when Brownback demanded of Senator Specter, “When did your life start?”

To this, Senator Specter answered in his weak and raspy voice, “Well Sam, I’m a lot more concerned at this point about when my life is gonna end.”
