Rise Up and Walk

Apparently John Edwards has a much higher estimation of John Kerry's talents than any rational person could have. Edwards promises us that if Kerry is elected, those in wheelchairs will rise up and walk. Now THAT'S a campaign promise.

Of course, this all has to do with embryonic stem cell research, research that has not shown the promise the Edwards and Kerry seem to think it has. This is nothing more than a bald-faced attempt to take advantage of people who have suffered way too much in their everyday lives.

Now that Christopher Reeve has died, the poster boy for this type of research, suddenly it's all about him. Kerry even claims to have received a cell phone message from Reeve within hours of his death encouraging him to press on. It's getting deep in here.

There once was a man who could make the lame walk and the blind see. His name also started with a "J", but I think that's where the similarities end.
