Republicans v. ... Republicans?

When the debates are over embryonic stem cell research (or other ethical dilemma debates), during an election season, Republicans go on the attack.

It's odd, though, that they have had to fight against members of their own party, in addition to their normal "godless liberal" dissenters. It just goes to show that they are truly the party of intolerance. Dana Cody, executive director of the Life Legal Defense Fund, one of a few groups suing California over the Govinator's pledge of $150 million to fund embryonic stem-cell research in the state, shows off his goose-stepping ability thusly: “Arnold is supposed to be a Republican, so I don’t understand his thinking here with President Bush. It seems like he’s going against the party line.”

It seems like it? Check that, it IS it. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Illinois has reacted similarly, if with less actual cash, to Bush's first-ever veto. Republican candidates who support embryonic stem-cell research are being attacked for disagreeing with the President! *Gasp!* Like that should never, ever happen.
