I too read the article in New Scientist that was quoted by Brian Whatcott a
few days ago. I was particularly intrigued by the part of the article that
said:
<Something appeared to shift for Frist in late July. He staggered <the
party's Christian conservative base by parting company with <President Bush
and supporting expanded federal funding for <embryonic stem cell research.
Suddenly Frist seemed to have become <the scientific community's ally
I hadn't realised that the scientific community universally supported
embryonic stem cell research nor that Christians universally condemned it.
Its a shame that political debate often makes such bland and broad
assumptions really... well at least here in Aus it does :-)
