I don't know what to say...

New Hampshire Republican congressman Charlie Bass made the following statement today in regard to taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research:

For America to stand back because of a moral principle and not allow sound scientific research to proceed under the umbrella of the National Institute of Health, I think, is unconscionable.

In the context of the judicial filibuster issue, some have noted that there is a difference between a Republican majority and a conservative majority. Being a Republican and being a conservative are not the same thing.

In light of Mr. Bass' comments, I think it's safe to say that being a Republican and being morally-intelligible are not the same thing either.
