McCain-Palin 2008
“Stem Cell”
|
[Music] Female Announcer: They're
the original mavericks. Leaders. Reformers. Fighting
for real change. John McCain will lead his congressional allies to improve America's health. Stem cell research to unlock the mystery of cancer, diabetes, heart disease. Stem cell research to help free families from the fear and devastation of illness. Stem cell research to help doctors repair spinal cord damage, knee injuries, serious burns. Stem cell research to help stroke victims. And, John McCain and his congressional allies will invest millions more in new NIH medical research to prevent disease. Medical breakthroughs to help you get better, faster. Change is coming. McCain-Palin and congressional allies. The leadership and experience to really change Washington and improve your health. Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee. McCain: I'm John McCain and I approved this message. |
"While it's good that that
Senator McCain says he supports stem cell research, It would be far
better for the millions of Americans awaiting new cures if he had shown
leadership when it really mattered: when he chose his running mate and
when he failed to marshal his allies to override the President's veto,"
Congressman Jim Langevin said. "I believe that we can conquer juvenile
diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I believe that I -- along with
hundreds of thousands of other people with spinal cord injuries -- will
walk again some day. But it won't happen without real leadership from
our next President, and John McCain has failed that test. There's only
one team in this race with a real commitment to expanding stem cell
research, and that's Barack Obama and Joe Biden."
Observations:
The ad highlights a key policy
difference between Sen. McCain and President Bush. It also is
interesting in the way that it works in the "congressional allies." |
