Green's stem-cell box gets smaller

If trying to claim you are for something you are actually against was an Olympic sport, Rep. Mark Green and the Green Team would get a gold medal for their hilarious attempts to claim Green is the best option for voters that support stem-cell research.

But what else can you do when you find yourself on the wrong side of a large majority of Wisconsin residents?

The problem for the Green Team is that it forces them to say things to just don't add up.

The latest Green Sheet from Green's Team provides a good example. It has his campaign manager, Mark Graul, saying this about the mother of a little girl with juvenile diabetes appearing in Governor Jim Doyle's television ad:

I am frankly shocked that Jim Doyle would use the suffering of a little girl as fodder for a political attack ad.

You mean like using the supposed "pain" the Green team thinks the little blobs of cells in freezers across the country will feel if they are used in stem-cell research instead of being thrown in the garbage?

Unless Graul means that the pain a live little girl will feel is more real and important that the pain the Green Team has projected onto the blob of cells.

Which means we should work to end pain of the live little girl as soon as we can.

Which means we should allow embryonic stem-cell research to really get going by having the backing of federal funding.

Oh. I see what he means.
