Just for you, because you're special:
John Glenn's voting record. Or, at least, the 1990s portion thereof.
Can you handle the truth?

We can disagree with his politics, but he really was a true American hero to fly the Mercury space capsule around the Earth when it was still relatively untested (orbital flights with chimpanzees proved to be more stressful on the animal than anticipated in terms of G forces).
Truly the end of an era--the last survivor of the Mercury Seven astronauts.

Too bad he was such a democrat. Probably a family heritage thing.
He was a hero of mine. He and Al Shepherd.
He went into orbit days before my 13th birthday.

Rest in peace Mr. Glenn and prayers for the comfort of his family. Funny how the FR response is a little kinder over his death than on threads about his illness.

Glenn was an obstructionist for the rapist-in-chief. I can’t forget that. He was a leftist partisan, and for me, he shredded his hero status.

Let's all try to remember John as a truly iconic American hero via the space program. I'm hoping the Muslim-In-Chief will have enough honor to lower the flag, but don't count on it.
