Why can't the Planetary Society fund it themselves if they are concern about the TPF???

Latest Discover suggested there are two competing terrestrial telescope systems up against this space based system, and all of them need lots of money.
The terrestrial systems would seem to be better choices for whatever funding is available.

I liked this one; kill some other less meaningful science mission

More worthwhile science projects down the tubes to fund the "man in space program". I guess going around in circles forever is better than actually accomplishing anything scientifically useful. /sarc/

My humble suggestion is to team up with India and Brazil. For one thing, I'd like to see an equatorial launch facility, particularly if it means bulldozing some more rain forest. ;')

This program is the most important one that NASA ever had. If they had only one program it should be this one. I don't often agree with the Planetary Society, but they have been right more often in the post-Sagan epoch.
