Ryan offers harsh criticism during campaign stop in Ocala ".................One unusual question came from Laura Nelson of Ocala, who asked Ryan about Romney’s plan for NASA.

Ryan answered that Obama “misunderstands” the national security importance of the space program, and he railed against the “devastating” $1 trillion in defense cuts that loom under a budget deal Congress reached last year.

Ryan, like most House Republicans, voted for the deal in order to cut programs and reduce the national debt.

Ryan told Nelson and the rest of the Ocala crowd that a Romney administration would seek to rebuild the space program that helped make America the most exceptional country in the world.

“You have to have a space policy that puts us in the lead,” Ryan said. “It’s essential for national security.”

After the event, Nelson said she asked about NASA because she felt it was an important part of America’s history and identity, and that she was troubled by how Obama has handled it.

“It’s disappointing to see it come down to its knees, symbolically, and is one of the most awful things this administration has done — and they (have) done some pretty awful things,” said Nelson, who attended the rally with her 90-year-old mother, Libby Levne, who regularly volunteers at local Republican headquarters to make calls for Romney’s campaign...."

NASA was apparently getting very involved in politics.

"I'm shocked -- shocked!!"

NASA is a “moslem outreach” program.

Thus, they’re rooting for the Obamatollah.

Doesn’t this waste valuable time better spent on outreach to Moslems?

The employee that tweeted this garbage and his/her supervisor should be immediately fired and their pensions revoked.

I am sick of government parasites insulting the very people that supply their income.

NASA should be auctioned off to private entities. If there is anything of value, the marketplace will judge.

Too much of government is deeply infested with evil far-left parasites. The only solution is elimination, not reform.
