Blogging Against Senator Sam Brownback Since March 2005
The fight in the Senate over stem cell research is looming in the near future and Senator Sam Brownback is ratcheting up the rhetoric by threatening a filibuster in the event regulations on stem cell research are relaxed. According to LifeNews:
Kansas Republican Senator Sam Brownback, a leading pro-life lawmaker, said he thinks he has enough votes to uphold a filibuster against a bill to overturn Bush’s limits.
“These are the ones you just have to state a truth and stand by it,'’ he told Bloomberg News. “It’s human life. And I mean, that has to be stood up for.'’
While this plays well with his religious conserative base, even in Kansas a majority of voters want more stem cell research to occur. You have to hand it to Brownback, it is not easy to be more conservative than the average Kansan.
Also, don’t forget that Senator Sam Brownback hates children with diabetes.

This is a man who believes in “MAGIC” HE IS NOT A MAN OF SCIENCE AND HIS BELIEFS DESERVE TO GO THE WAY OF THE DODO. STOP THE god TALK ALREADY AND GET INTO FACT NOT FICTION. WE MUST DO OUR OWN RESEARCH TO HELP OURSELVES, IT DOES NOT COME FROM PRAYER. HARVARD DID A 10 YEAR STUDY ON PRAYER AND FOUND THAT IT DOES NOT EFFECT SICK PEOPLE AT ALL. THEY DO NOT GET BETTER THAN THE ATHEISTS. “OOH SURPRISE” ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO BELONG IN CAVES STILL BELIEVE IN THIS NONSENSE. SEN BROWNBACK DOESN’T HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN ANYWAY…. HE IS A WASTE OF TIME AND SPACE. PERIOD
