McCain Camp: Biden "Sunk To A New Low" On Stem Cell Research

CNN:

John McCain's campaign hit back hard at Joe Biden Tuesday after the Democratic VP candidate appeared to suggest Republicans who do not support stem cell research -- like GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin -- are lacking in their support of children with disabilities.

"Barack Obama's running mate sunk to a new low today launching an offensive debate over who cares more about special needs children," McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt said. "Playing politics with this issue is disturbing and indicative of a desperate campaign."

The sharp response, indicative of the increasingly heated rhetoric from both presidential campaigns as the election enters the final stretch, came shortly after Biden said advocates for people with disabilities should support stem cell research.

Stem cell research is critical to anyone with a disability or disease. Just because the pitt-bull had a puppy with issues, that does not make her the end all and be all of children with disabilities.

Life is precious, or so they say. What about those who are trying to continue living?

McCain's camp's idea of a new low is some one speaking the truth.

McCain's camp believes that the Truth should have no place in elections and they are living by their beliefs.

Plain loves Pork, but where is th BEEF!

I agree, Biden is right - the only way to find solutions to special needs kids and others is to find the gene that carries it... What's the issue?

[barackobama4prez]

The issue is the oil lobby pays better than the research lobby.

regressives: "we don't need no stinking science or medical advancemen­t."

Then they send their assistants to run to the pharmacy to enjoy the benefits of such medicines.

It is a new low - how DARE Joe Biden attack the Republicans based upon their record and stances on the issues.

[Sparklez]

LOL

[ShamusNYC]

The Republicans have become a party of WHINERS.

[DebM]

What kind of whine do you serve with moose stew?

I guess the McCain campaign doesn't like it when someone slams them. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the sexism cry goes up again. Too bad, so sad.

[ammagirl]

Can you please change the headline of this article? Biden did not sink to a new low just because McCain says he did. You don't have to parrot CNN. Stem Cell research is a serious issue and it shoud be discussed.

[Dewtrell]

He's 100% correct - DO NOT back down!

[JUSTME]

I'm a diabetic. Just send some of that stem cell research my way, please.
