More Embryonic Stem Cell Insanity

Here we go again with tax payer funded embryonic stem cells..

A stubborn Senate voted Wednesday to ease restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research, ignoring President Bush's threat of a second veto on legislation designed to lead to new medical treatments.
The 63-34 vote was shy of the margin that would be needed to enact the measure over presidential opposition, despite gains made by supporters in last fall's elections.
"Not every day do we have the opportunity to vote to heal the sick," said Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., a senator less than 100 days following a tough 2006 campaign in which the stem cell controversy played a particularly prominent role. "It is a noble cause," she added.

Even as adult stem cells continue to make actual breakthroughs...

Beginning an emotional, political and ethical drama that is widely expected to climax with the second veto of President Bush's presidency, the Senate on Tuesday began a two-day debate over the use of taxpayer dollars for embryonic stem cell research.
The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, to be voted on late today or Thursday, would loosen Bush's Aug. 9, 2001, ban on federal funding for research on stem cells isolated from human embryos after that date.

and...

U.S. researchers have isolated cochlear stem cells located in the inner ear, primed for development into ear-related tissue to treat hearing loss.

So why, if Ms. McCaskill Democrat from Missouri truly believes in her “noble cause” to “heal the sick”, is she not demanding public funding of adult stem cells? You know, the type of stem cells that are actually curing diseases and helping people. Why, oh why? Hmmm...
Any ideas, Lefties?
If our true interests are, in fact, healing the sick then why should our tax dollars continue flowing toward a mere ‘possibility’ of future cures when they could instead be funneled towards actual cures today?
I’m waiting for an answer, but I'm not holding my breath.
