No surprise there

I guess it really isn’t much of a surprise, but President Bush has, yet again, vetoed the stem cell research bill. If you put religious reasons aside, why wouldn’t you pass it? (Seriously, I would like input here) I am not a very religious person. I was raised as a southern baptist but at this point in my life, it’s not something I practice. Maybe that’s why I have a hard time understanding why you wouldn’t pass this bill. Think of the lives you could potentially save down the road? Think of all the various diseases that could be treated (possibly cured)! :/

How disappointing

How disappointing, Bush vetoes war-funding bill. Not that I expected any less! This bill called for a pullout of US combat troops in Iraq by 2008! What is extending our troops tour in Iraq solving? Apparently if they pulled out too soon, it’d cause chaos in Iraq.. I ask then, what is going on there now? Isn’t it pretty much a civil war now? Isn’t there chaos there now? At what expense are we fighting this war that doesn’t seem to have an end in the near future? Loss of life? Innocent lives? Fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, mothers, sisters wives, and daughters.

It’s time he stands up and faces the truth. He made a mistake (IMO), families have suffered great losses at the expense of this mistake. Being the President does not mean you can’t make a mistake but for Pete’s sake, own up to it and start working with Congress to get our men and women home!

It’s so depressing. I, myself, do not have an loved ones serving in Iraq but I have many friends who’s sisters and brothers are. While I am not “anti-military” at all, I do feel this war was a mistake.
