ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) today issued the following statement on Barack Obama's misleading new radio ad on stem cell research, which is airing in the Philadelphia suburbs:

"The fact is John McCain has been a champion for stem cell research, which holds the promise of curing devastating diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. John McCain bucked the majority of our party in standing strong with me in urging the Bush Administration to lift restrictions on stem cell research, and last year voted to overturn the Bush policy.

"Delaware Valley voters deserve the truth: On stem cell research and so many other issues, John McCain is a maverick who always puts his country first. As president, he'll advance the cause of potentially lifesaving medical research that can free families from the fear and devastation of illness."

FACT CHECK: OBAMA RADIO AD FALSELY ALLEGES THAT MCCAIN DOES NOT SUPPORT STEM CELL RESEARCH, WHEN HE CLEARLY DOES

politisite, I like this story. It's good stuff. John McCain has always supported stem cell research. Any need to experiment on embrionic stem cells has been ended by scientific breakthroughs over the past five years. Obama, "when you stop lying, we will stop telling the truth about you".

The Dems act like stem cell research is illegal in America. The DNC has a count the lies daily email sent to its contributors. One of the lies is about this issues. Why use small embryonic stem cells when more promise is coming from embyical cord stem cells. It all comes down to abortion rights. It is the same as when Dems lined up in the house that were in favopr of children crossing state lines to get abortions and supported no parental notificaltion. What are some of the first signs of socialism? State taking control of children and their behavior.
