Edwards: Be HEALED In the name of John Kerry!
2004-10-12
The gospel according to St. John Edwards I guess....
Edwards: "We will do stem cell research," he vowed. "We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases. America just lost a great champion for this cause in Christopher Reeve. People like Chris Reeve will get out of their wheelchairs and walk again with stem cell research."
Saw this first on Drudge then did a google search to find this link.

#10  Couldn't Edwards even wait until Christopher Reeve's body was cold before using his death for his own political gains?

Not to sound disrespectful but I think it would be some trick for Kerry to get Christopher Reeve (or people like him - i.e. dead) to get out of his wheelchair and walk considering he died.

#9  The only "laying on of hands" these jokers will do, is to lay hands on your wallet.

#8  We will stop juvenile diabetes, ....

This is just one more example of the evil of Bushitler(tm) and Chainey; that they could travel back in time and stop these diseases from being cured decades ago.

I hate to seem petty, but with all these really great plans to cure disease, end war, make the French act nice, etc; is anything written down anywhere? Talk is cheap.

#7  According to Mr. Kerry, the President is also responsible for the shortage of flu vaccine. I guess if Kerry were President he would somehow have control over British government agencies to insure we have enough vaccine.

#6  Lessee... stem cell research is possibly good for Parkinson's or damage after a stroke. There hasn't been any evidence of it being good for Alzheimer's nor spinal cord damage. The deal with spinal cord damage is in defeating the scar tissue that forms and the proteins that come from that tissue which actually inhibit the repair of nerve fibers. That's where the research is, not with stem cells.

Of course this is Edwards and he's well acquainted with using crap-science to get what he wants from a jury.

#5  They hit bottom long ago, but continue to dig.

Good thing Kerry's wife is rich.

The two Johns' backhoe bill must be outa sight.

#4  Now Rex, you know Kerry had to flip/flop four or five times on the issue. If Edwards was still a lawyer, there would be fewer doctors to help people to walk or any other thing.

#3  Took em all of 24 hours to use his death for political gain....much slower than I had expected.

#2  As long as they don't lay hands on me...

#1  Quite frankly, I'm concerned about all the "laying on of hands" these two have been doing.
