Since it was old news (it’s be 24 hours), I wasn’t going to say anything about the stem cell veto but I was over at GOP bloggers and read this:

Nary a veto was issued against massive spending bills, although Americans would have supported a President who showed at least some semblance of fiscal conservatism. Now, President Bush will veto his first bill to block an initiative that a clear majority of Americans support?

And I got a little ticked off. I think it’s a wonderful first veto because it shows you how important this issue is to Bush. There is no reason why the government needs to fund mengelesque experiments on human embryos. If it has so much promise, let private industry fund it. Bush hasn’t made it illegal by vetoing the bill.
Here is a link to the poll. And BTW, since when do we believe an ABC News poll? When it supports our view?
