We as a family are so Thankful for the Snowflake program without the snowflake program women who are unable to concieve would not be able to ever bear a child due to a early diagnosis. You have no idea what kind of emotional pain it causes a woman and the marriage when a woman is unable to conceive and through the Snowflake program we are now able to carry and give a child life. Bravo President Bush for preserving life in AMerica and allowing this opportunity to families!!!!

Read up and don’t just take what the media says about this bill.

Bush is a success! Not as far as ordinary folk like you and me are concerned, maybe, but for the Big Money that put him in power, he has done what was needed. He’s allowed corporations to regulate themselves, he’s made the average American distrust government spending, and he’s opened the way to mass rape of the general population by the large corporate entities by concentrating power in the Puppet-in-Chief’s office, blithely disregarding the Constitution and the law of the land and removing all checks and balances.

The fact that he’s made America and Americans loathed around the world, has promoted the most dismal failures in US foreign policy in history, and has destroyed all semblance of moral credibility is irrelevant. George II has achieved the goals set for him – now he can be safely eliminated by the puppetmasters before he starts to talk.

Not to forget the snow that he snorted back when.

skin crawl – exactly what I felt. I suspect we are NOT in the minority, either. Time will tell.

Snow runs deep with this guy. First Tony Snow, now “snowflakes”. What were Rove and Bush doing behind closed doors? Maybe a variation on this theme?

This photo-op made my skin crawl. It goes beyond crass. It is sickening.

The whole “spare parts” comment was a blatant attempt to mislead people into confusing stem-cell research with human-cloning. The vetoed legislation had absolutely nothing to do with cultivating embryos for spare parts.

There are 400,000 unwanted frozen embryos being stored in this country (many thousands more have already been disposed). So far, there are only 100 of these so-called “snowflake children”, with a couple dozen more on the way. Therefore, any given embryo only has a 1/300th of 1% chance of being “adopted”. Moreover, there are 500,000 living, breathing children awaiting actual adoption in this country.

So, if these people truly believe a frozen embryo is a person, and that person has a 99.97% chance of being destroyed, shouldn’t Bush be blocking funding for the fertility research and treatments that are producing all the unwanted embryos?

When you’re sinking as fast as Bush, rallying your ignorant, narrow-minded base is about all there is left. He doesn’t give a rats-ass about governing – all he wants to do is rule.

Too bad there isn’t a cure for his being a total loser, and absolute idiot.Some kind of transplant as in a new brain.

People are finally getting the message that the only one he cares about is himself and the idiots that vote for him.

This is a wake up call America;your president does not give a fat rats ass about you or your family.He would rather you die or suffer endlessly to appease a handful of religous nutcases.I’m willing to bet though that if his wife or one of his brats would have benefitted from this,he would not have been able to get that pen out fast enough
