The McCain campaign has released a new radio ad highlighting the Arizona senator's relatively moderate stance on stem cell research. The ad says the following:
"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."Just one problem: Gov. Palin is adamantly opposed to stem cell research. During a 2006 gubernatorial debate, Palin was asked about the issue. Here's what she said:
"Well, another hypothetical, because I certainly have not seen it on the docket in our university system, stem cell research. But here again, with a pro-life position, and its interesting that so many questions revolve around this centeredness I have of respecting life and the potential of every human life, but no, stem-cell research would ultimately end in destruction of life. I couldn’t support [it]."Again, the ad says "mavericks." Now I get that John McCain is supposed to be one of them. I'm just wondering who the other is.
