Reply #5: Between Family Values and Stem Cell Research

[Justice]

I can see Bush getting boxed in.

I remember talking with someone last year who made a wisecrack about Clinton and Monica. I said to the guy, well consider Rudy in NYC, living at Gracie Mansion with his wife and young children, bringing in his mistress to be with him in the family home. Yet Rudy is the right's hero - but same thing as Clinton. He said, no it is not - I said, yeah it is - same thing. He said, yeah it is.

This approach allows you to make the point without getting into whether it was right or not to do (not judgmental).

Rudy is too moderate for the RWers.

Also, there are alot of people that will hear Nancy Reagan's pleas for more stem cell reseach -- and they will vote against Bush because Bush won't do it. If Bush changes the rules, he will lose his base.

He is boxed in.
