On the contrary, many of the posts opposing the President's space initiative
have been filled with political invective, and an almost palpable loathing
of Mr. Bush.

I'd say this is a sign that nothing has changed, and real *discussion* is
illusory.



I have a feeling if it had been Gore proposing exactly the same thing,
there would be golf claps all around from that crowd instead.

Pre-speech AP poll..................

"Just over half of Democrats' opposed the plan by "the United States."
Once it was identified as a "Bush administration" plan, Democrats
opposed it by a 2-to-1 margin."

There are real problems in that party I cannot fathom personally.
There is definitely a near pathological desperate hatred that defies
logic most of the time. This is not a partisan thing, it is giving
NASA the attention that it has desperately needed for decades.
Jeez JFK sent us to the moon for crying out loud.

EIther Matlin or A****er advised Ronald Reagan, "Never interupt your opponent
when he is busy destroying himself."

If we just sit quietly till November and let them keep it up, the Democrat
Party will cease to be a factor in US politics for the remainder of our
lifetimes.

Which party, and which recent time period, are you talking about? It's an
equal opportunity affliction.

Here are some hints...............

The party that currently does NOT control the Senate, the House, the White
House, the majority of governorships, the majority of the 10 major
big state governorships. The party that could not beat Jeb
Bush in Florida with a major clintonite. The party that
had one of its governors booted out of California in an embarrasing
landslide recall. The party that when its former president and vice president
campaign for someone they usually lose. The party that has had recent
defections to the other party. The party that all its a major presidential
candidates would lose to the current president by double digits in major
polls. Of those candidates, many have had to retract bizarre accusations a
day or two after making them. The party that when they gather together
under internet organizations or have ex-vice presidents give speeches
to the faithful usually resort to some kind of excessive namecalling and
hateful rhetoric. The party that turned a bi-partisan memorial to one of their
fallen into a political rally for themselves. The party that would have won
the white house if thier candidate had won his *home* state.

Im not a member of any political party ok, yes I am right wing on most
things. All partys have problems and are imperfect of course, all are
guilty of the same things at one time or another to varying degrees. All
partys have hard times. But the above are indeed serious indications
something major is wrong.
