RUSH: Let me tell you about Missouri. There is a couple that alone has spent $28 million on advertising to get Amendment 2 ratified and passed by the citizens of Missoura — Missouri — Missoura — Missouri. Twenty-eight million dollars. Now, some people are wondering, ‘Twenty-eight million dollars by two people to get an amendment to the Constitution passed?\u2019 So there are people beginning to wonder, ‘Do people have a financial interest in this?\u2019 I\u2019ve always said, ‘Follow the money, and you will get to many answers to many questions that you ask,\u2019 and I think the point\u2019s a good one: look beneath the surface. <\/emphasize>It\u2019s just like the environmental movement. The environmental movement wants us to believe that their only concern is us and the planet and cleanliness, anti-pollution, fresh water, plenty of animals, no extinct species, people living at one in happiness and in communion with each other.<\/p>\n

When in fact, everybody in the militant environmental movement is out there raising money left and right, flying around in their private planes, cutting down redwood trees for their backyard decks — and <\/emphasize>they\u2019ve got a financial stake in it. Plus they\u2019re ideologues. They\u2019re anti-capitalists, and they\u2019re using this ‘environmental\u2019 movement as an advancement of their anti-capitalist views. When it comes to stem cell research and embryonic stem cell research, precisely because there is no evidence it works — there\u2019s none, folks. You can sit out there and have hope all day, and you can hope until the end of the world, and if there\u2019s no evidence, your hope is going to be just that. I\u2019ll draw a parallel. <\/p>\n

In 1984 I was watching This Week with David Brinkley and all these global warming scientists are starting the fear-mongering, ‘We\u2019ve only got 20 years! We can\u2019t afford to wait! We don\u2019t know if what we think is right. We\u2019re pretty sure, but we have only 20 years. If we don\u2019t act in 20 years, it\u2019s all over. We\u2019ll lose the ability to reverse the effects of greenhouse gases and climate control.\u2019 Well, there never has been — I don\u2019t care what anybody says — convincing, unassailable-with-empirical data proof <\/emphasize>that human beings are causing climate destruction. I saw a story the other day claiming global warming will cause floods, famines, earthquakes. Hell, folks, we have those anyway! Don\u2019t we? <\/p>\n

We have famines. We have earthquakes. We have floods. We have big thunderstorms. We have hurricanes — whether there\u2019s global warming or not. It\u2019s scare tactics. You can\u2019t say that those are going to be the effects <\/emphasize>of global warming when they happen anyway. Now we\u2019ve got embryonic stem cells. There\u2019s no evidence (they cure anything)<\/a>. There\u2019s no evidence! I\u2019ll give you another analogy. The October Surprise, 1980. Remember when that was? Reagan supposedly sent George H. W. Bush in an SR-71 to Paris to talk to the Iranians. They cut a deal to keep those hostages in there until after the election. ‘We\u2019ll make a deal with you. You let \u2019em out after,\u2019 and that\u2019s exactly what happened.<\/p>\n

When Reagan was elected, the Iranians let the hostages go — but there was no evidence (of a meeting)! A Princeton professor, a guy named Gary Sick, wrote a book, it was all over television, “confirming” that Bush had flown in a plane or whatever, gone over to Paris to meet the Iranians. It wasn\u2019t true! Tom Foley, speaker of the House, said, “Despite the fact there is no evidence, the seriousness of charge demands that we investigate.” So there was a long investigation by a “blue-ribbon panel” to find out if there was an October Surprise. That\u2019s <\/emphasize>what\u2019s happening with embryonic stem cell research. <\/line> There is no evidence! <\/line>There\u2019s evidence aplenty that other attempts, other types of research and techniques are showing promise. But no, no, no! We\u2019ve gotta focus on embryonic! There\u2019s no evidence, and yet people are investing $28 million trying to pass it. There\u2019s a reason for this, folks. The argument with embryonic stem cells is over federal funding<\/emphasize>, because there is no venture capital going into the movement (venture capital meaning private investors, people like you and me with a lot of money), who are looking and saying, “Yeah, you know what? That looks promising. I want to get in on the ground floor of embryonic stem cell research, and I will clean clocks. I\u2019ll make so much money!” <\/line>There\u2019s none of that money going into it because nobody looks at it as anything other than a black hole! But if you can get federal <\/emphasize>funding, if you can tug at people\u2019s heart strings, and if you can say that Jim Talent and if you can say that Michael Steele don\u2019t want <\/emphasize>people to get cured, that only Claire McCaskill and Benjamin Cardin do… If you want to tell people that the cure for disease resides totally <\/emphasize>in the election of Democrats, then you can do it — and you can lie through your teeth and you can mislead and you can cruelly misinform people, which is being done. There\u2019s no evidence, and yet it remains the big push. So there\u2019s gotta be some other things involved here, and it\u2019s the desire on the part of these people to get limitless federal money, your tax dollars, to be spent on a black hole. <\/line><\/p>\n
