for Flip-Flopping on Stem Cell Research

MEDIA, Pa. - Today, Cliff Wilson, Chairman of the Delaware County Democratic Party, had delivered flips flops to Curt Weldon for flip-flopping on his vote for Stem Cell Research. Last week, Weldon shocked stem cell advocates and probably even himself when he voted to override President Bush's stem cell veto, the first of his presidency.
"I knew Curt was going to try to figure out how to reconnect with his district this campaign season after so many years of losing touch and rubber stamping Bush and the Republican Congress, even he must admit this hollow gesture on stem cell research was the granddaddy of flip flops," said Wilson. "His many years of callous disregard for those families afflicted by the terrible diseases that stem cell research can one day cure merits this sarcastic statement. I hope he wears these flip flops in good health in retirement. His 'Curt Come Lately' flip flop is too little too late."
Curt Weldon on Stem Cell Research in 2005:
"In the end, Mr. Speaker, this is a very personal decision. It is one that I agonized over. I am not a medical professional. I consulted with all four of my friends who are medical doctors in this Chamber. They have studied medicine, they understand medical research, they understand bioethics far better than I ever will, and I come down on their side. I come down on the side of life." (Floor Statement, 5/24/05)
Curt Weldon voted against increasing public funding for stem cell research on a bill that received broad bi-partisan support. The vote was against the final passage of a bill to loosen restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, siding with social conservatives who call the research immoral over patients who have debilitating diseases. President Bush announced in August 2001 that he would allow the federal government to back the research, but only on stem cells that had already been created. Since Bush's announcement, many of the groups of stem cells that were thought to be available for research have turned out to be unusable, and others are now thought to be unsuitable for experiments involving transplantation into patients. The bill passed, 238-194. ( Los Angeles Times , 5/25/05; Chicago Tribune, 5/25/05)
Curt Weldon on Stem Cell Research in 2006:
"I feel that it is important to use my vote to send President Bush a message that stem cell research, although still largely experimental, has shown promise in addressing the myriad of diseases and illnesses that affect our children and families… In the end, I find it difficult to look a mother or father in the eye who has a sick child and tell them I didn't do everything in my power to try to help them find a cure for their child." (Rep. Weldon press release, 7/19/06)
Curt Weldon voted to override the President's veto on a bill he voted against just one year earlier. After being outraised by his Democratic opponent and criticized for his out of the mainstream position on WMD and ties to corrupt lobbyist contracts, Weldon flipped on a key issue by voting to override the President's veto on stem cell research. (HR 810, vote #388, 7/19/06)

Joe Sestak was probably the least credible officer I have had the pleasure of serving with. His antics included a YELLOW RUBBER DUCKY that he would have people take pictures with, jumping back on a helicopter to run a search and rescue (not his expertise), keeping officers waiting for upwards of 4 hours to brief him on the basics that he should ahve learned 15 years ago(at least), and ignoring his door being banged on because he was sleeping during combat operations. Do you want Joe Sestak sleeping on the job in Pennsylvania? I don't!
Sestak you are a worthless chicken.
The swiftboaters are here....where dig curt dig up these clowns, and what took them so long to find you. These guts are so desparate all they know how to do is be negative and besmirch a man who rose to the highest rank of any living delaware county native.
go joe go. you've got them on the run now.
By the way, looked good on NBC tonite. Bye Bye Curt.
It's a little pathetic when an anonymous commentor calls somebody a chicken.
AMEN EB
Sestak got FIRED from his Navy job for a poor command climate. Translation=POOR LEADERSHIP
Glad to see that Weldo's Campaign Manager rads the blog and likes to interact. If only he would do that more wiht the county's taxpayers and pay half as much attention to that job as he does to attacking good, honest and wholesome folks like Joe Sestak.
By the way, Mr. Campaign Manager for Curt Weldon, in November, Weldon gets fired....See you in 2007.
Jet Jockstrap-
Once again you post a comment unrelated to the actual blog article.
For someone apparently suffering some childhood trauma related to rubber-ducks, you should be even more concerned about a Congressman like Weldon whose votes have hurt the welface of millions of children in poverty that would be happy to afford a rubber-duck.
