Nancy Reagan Throws Support to Bush

Former first lady Nancy Reagan, who opposes President Bush's policy on limiting embryonic stem cell research, is backing the Republican's re-election bid.

"The campaign is certainly about more than one issue," said spokeswoman Joanne Drake, who described Reagan on Tuesday as in "full and complete support of President Bush's candidacy."

While the Dimocrats thought they'd pulled such a coup getting Ron "Junior" to speak at Donkey Con, I'd rather our camp had Mizz Nancy's support any day!
The Left just loved it that Ronnie the Little was not only a Dim and hostile to Bush but also were thrilled to have him speak on an issue that President Bush has opposed: (the federal funding of) stem cell research.
What Ronald the Lesser actually advocated was human cloning, which his father and President Bush also would have disliked, as it involves the start of a human life, by fertilizing a human egg cell to make an embryo, then ending that life to use the cells for research.
(What is it with the Dems and their obsession with killing life in the womb?)
More evidence has come out in recent months that stem cell research doesn't lead to the cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's that advocates like Ronald the Lesser and Nancy Reagan had hoped for either.
It's nice to see that Nancy Reagan didn't make this a "make or break" issue regarding President Bush.
She must know that Bush is more her real son than Ronald could ever be!
(And frankly, Bush is more the son of Ronald Magnus than he is George H.W. Bush!)
President Bush is continuing the glorious tradition of the Conservative Reagan Revolution and deserves another 4 years and I'm delighted that lovely Mrs. Nancy feels this way, too.
We all would have given a lot to cure President Reagan and our loved ones stricken with Alzheimer's, like my own mother, while they were alive and I know that President Bush feels this way, also, but when it involves tinkering and killing off the building blocks of human life or embryos and foetuses themselves, that is a bridge too far!
