That whole issue about tax dollars is a lot of hooey. There are lots of cases were tax dollars are spent in a way that one group or another likes or dislikes. There were plenty of people that thought that the money spent on the space program would have been better spent elsewhere. Those people are looking silly now that we see the huge advantage in technology that program gave the rest of industry in our country. Stem cell research is the same thing. So what that they don't like it! Thirty years from now when they can get their heart replaced with a healthy clone of their very own heart they will think differently. These Christians need to wake up and see that they are pawns in an old fashion power grab from the religious right. It has nothing to do with the sanctity of human life. It is just a trumped up issue that they are using to get passions aroused so that they can get the religious to vote for the candidate that will do their bidding.
