The ad my opponent ran against me during the last 2 weeks of our 2006 race employed a handful of these media lies. The implication was that since I didn't support embryonic stem cell research, I wanted people with Parkinson's disease to die.
We lost by 106 votes, largely due to the fear that the said ad created in people. In retrospect, I'm glad we did lose (that time), but that doesn't mean I'm OK with all the misinformation and manipulation being promoted by the Left on this subject.
Good post. Conservatives and Christians need help navigating the lies surrounding embryonic stem cell research.
