Comments on: Because He’s the Decider, That’s Why http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2006/07/18/because-hes-the-decider-thats-why/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

I know that he is not scienitifically tuned or trained, but he must be forming his opinions from listening to his advisors. I know that the President is to blame for all his policies that don't work, but so are the advisors. I am mighty curious to see why the lobbyists for anti stem cell research are heard over the pro-stem cell scientists, and other proponents.. I know that is a naive question, but it astounds me.

Bush, however, vows to veto a bill supporting such research.

If that's not a sign that a dictatorship is in place, what is? This idiot does whatever the hell he pleases; he's not our leader, nor does he represent our best interests--he's a goddamn tyrant.

They just say that he has overriding power. This is ridiculous, and Bush is acting on a power trip! I guess this is one thing that he could brute force his way through.. There is no justification provided anywhere! Bush never gave a reason for blocking the OPR lawyers. They just say that he has overriding power. This is ridiculous, and Bush is acting on a power trip!
