Russert the twit did not challenge Romney's misleading statements about stem cell research
http://mediamatters.org/items/200712160001?f=h_latest

Summary: On Meet the Press, Mitt Romney claimed Hillary Clinton "put politics ahead of people" because "she was one of 28 {senators} to vote against alternative methods" of stem cell research. In fact, while Clinton voted against legislation that would have provided funding for alternative research measures, but restricted embryonic stem cell research, she voted for a bill that contained provisions providing for research relating to "alternative method technologies" and also expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research. Romney also touted a recent "breakthrough" on "alternative methods of creating stem cells without having to create new embryos" while failing to note that the senior American scientist involved in the "breakthrough" has emphasized the need to continue embryonic stem cell research. Meet the Press host Tim Russert did not challenge Romney on his claims.

1. That may be due to the fact that neither Romney or Timmeh have
done the research on the subject like HRC and don't know what the h@ll they're talking about...

The part where that twit asks him about LDS not including black people fully until 1978. Romney says he heard it while driving, and he pulled over and wept.

I notice he didn't say if he wept for joy or not. lol

3. What's crazy to me is that the great Ron Regan is used over and over
again, yet they deny the research... The family comes out in full support... Nancy who stood by Ron's side until the end begged for funding.. and they bitch slapped her with snowflakes.
