My thoughts exactly... he’s a big liberal... no thanks.

Any respect for that I ever had for John Glenn went out the window with his shameless performance during the Cox Committee hearings, when he sold out our nation by doing everything he could to frustrate the investigation into Clinton's quid pro quo of allowing the sale of critical missile technology to the Chinese.

I was in middle school when Glenn went into orbit, and I always thought of him as a great national hero. But when he sold us out just so he could get one last geriatric ride in space, I realized that he was never a patriot -- just a hot-dogger with aspirations of personal glory.

I wouldn't give a peso to the democratic party, but I have a ton of respect for him regarding space flight. To paraphrase Ms. Coulter, he needed to be perfected a bit.

The boys that went up (even today) had/have a huge set of cajones on them. Too bad some of them squandered it away by joining that cesspool fraternity of bottom feeders in DC.

I’ve come to believe that an honorable “politician” is as difficult to find as a virgin in a whore house.

The term “politician” has an unsavory connotation...
However - I have known men and women who have served in public office who have indeed been honorable - but I would never call them “politicians”...

Patriotic Americans who HONORED THEIR OATH OF OFFICE is a more appropriate description...

Obama and most of his fellow Democrats VIOLATE their oath of office and the Constitution on a daily basis and are IGNORED FOR THEIR CRIMES.

I’ll have lunch with him.

First question:

“How in the hell could you ever be a Democrat”?

I’m related to the guy, yet I would rather have lunch with Big Bird.

I was fortunate enough to have a handshake and short conversation with Alan Shepard in 1974... that was cool, but unfortunately I was too starstruck to really hold an intelligent conversation.

John Glenn is just a low rent Murtha.

He did, they just stuffed him and sat him in a chair.

Caveat is, you get tang instead of wine.
