Today’s Commentary: “Pinnochio” Bilbray?

If you haven’t already, I suggest that you look at the post by the FlashReport’s Los Angeles Area Correspondent, Mike Spence, who has posted something very disturbing.  Last week, Congressman Brian Bilbray voted to override President Bush’s veto on using government funds to finance stem cell research.  We can have a whole debate about whether that was a good or bad vote on policy grounds.  But that is NOT the disturbing part.

Apparently, as Bilbray was in the battle of his life to win election to the House in the special election in CD 50, Bilbray filled out a questionnaire for the National Right to Life Committee.  Not only did he check a box saying he would not vote to override a stem-cell veto, but, well – here is an excerpt from Spence’s piece:
 
 Big deal except, Bilbray promised that he would support the President’s policy IN WRITING. Again, attached is the questionnaire.

Look at question number four.
