I admire the courage of astronaut John Glenn. He has led our great nation into space and slipped the bounds of Earth's atmosphere as he sped off into the aether. Only this time, he neglected to suit up and travel on a rocket. John Glenn had this to say regarding the recent GOP convention.
Former senator John Glenn (D-Ohio) took the defense a step further by comparing the Republicans' misleading statements to those of Nazi Germany. "You've just got to separate out fact from fiction. . . . Too often, too often, in this country, if you hear something repeated, it's the old Hitler business -- if you hear something repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated, you start to believe it," he said.
Welcome to the alien terrain of MoveOn.Org, Senator. I hate to break this to you, Senator, but having experienced weightlessness does not lend gravitas to your nonsensical rantings. You are stupid, Senator. You are panicking. Do not be used by Senator John Kerry. Do not be turned into a cheap political symbol like your cohort Max Cleland.
They would rather have American innocents slaughtered (AGAIN) if that could defeat Bush. Democrats that crazy are as bad as the terrorists themselves. Democrats need to be in a locked-down psycho ward, not in charge of the government.
Vote for Kerry and the Taliban comes into power in America where wholesale murder is a small price to pay for liberals being in charge.
These people are sick and dangerous.
The ends justify the means to these people.
Altitude sickness.
Glenn showed his lacking grit when he testified as a rabid Democrat in committee hearings during the Clinton era and the payoff was another ride to the moon as a senior...sick sick sick!!
And he should know. HIS party are the masters at this M.O. They have been for years.

Glenn's whoring for the Clintoon administration during Impeachment got him a space flight. Wonder what he's angling for this time.
Yeah, he seems to just take old Howard Dean speeches and repeat them, and repeat them, and repeat them, and....(you get the point).
It seems that he's basically aiming for his own left foot. He sure seems to be pumping the rounds into that general vicinity.
Too late. That already happened when he became a shill for Bill Clinton.
Yep!
The price for standing by Clinton was a contrived ride on the shuttle. With Kerry it must be something very nice, $$$ or a job or another "trip"?
OK, OK I'm convinced. John Glenn was a pathetic hack long before John Kerry got nominated. What a shame. At least it's not as disappointing as the whole Pete Rose fiasco.
Here they go with the "Republicans are Nazis" crapola again. And from the former Senator and astronaut John Glenn, no less. I had thought him an honorable man, but to draw such stark parallels is a little disingenuous, and he does not even make films.
Has anyone every questioned what Adolf Hitler really was? He would not have ever been sympathic with Republicans, who represent something totally alien to Nationalist Socialist ideology.
Its really too bad about John Glenn. I can remember his project mercury orbits, and then the problem he had with the heat shields at re entry. He was truly an American hero. Who would have thought that he would later champion the minions of socialism/communism.
In a way he is similar to Charles Lindbergh, who cozied up to the Nazi's.
