Given her criticism of McCain on stem cell research, the author must have been one of the first to proclaim Senator Kerry a flip-flopper, as she evidently has no understanding of the nuance under-appreciated in federal legislation, especially in legislation pertaining to an issue as scientifically technical in its complexity as stem cells. Sadly, compared to the remainder of her attack on Senator McCain, it bears the closest resemblance to informed criticism...
...Crimson op-ed “The Mirage of the Maverick” (Dec. 11) mischaracterize the record of Senator John McCain, but the facts supplied to substantiate these misleading assertions are flat out wrong. The op-ed falsely states that Senator McCain voted against funding embryonic stem cell research.

In fact, HR 810 sought to increase embryonic stem cell research by providing stricter ethical standards for such research. McCain voted for the resolution in order “to ensure that this research does not expand into ethically objectionable ground in balancing the promise on the foreseeable horizon of stem cell research with the protection of human life,” according...
