“I hope to be proven wrong...”
I hope so too. I hope Obama is defeated.
I’m just hoping the voters will put more and more people into a Republican Conservative congress and hold their feet to the fire. The Tea Party did a great job brining new people in. If Gingrich wins, we may have a chance to do things quicker. If Romney wins, it may take longer until we have strenth in both houses.
Well, I heard something today that is something that has been simmering on the back burner, and uintil I heard it from someone else today, it is rapidly coming to a rolling boil...
I believe the Republican party is thoroughly going to a moderate political standing in politics these days...Conservatives for years have been trying to bail this lifeboat out to no avail...It was a valiant attempt and a noble cause to work it from the inside, but I do not believe the Republican party represents my social, economic and political views anymore...
I believe, because I am in the party establishment, and have been shined on way too many times by our party leadership, and the elected officials we’ve been sending to our state houses and D.C.
Do I believe Newt is our saving grace...no...Romney certainly is not, and Santorum and Ron Paul are cast-offs...Not by my choice, but the party leadership wants to throw them all out with the bath water...
I also believe that when the other person told me about their idea that the Republican Party leadership and elected elite want is to discredit the Tea Party and the grassroots efforts they (we) tout...They want us to just shut up and let them moderate, and enable the liberals to socialize this country against the founding principles of limited government and states rights...
They, like the liberal/progressives, do not want their power and ability to control and over control the money (revenue) lost to conservative ideals...And if they can control the social/political outrage from originalist, like us, then all the better for them...
They don’t believe we’ll fight...I think they are right in some ways, and this little issue like the Space Program is just one more piece of control and influence they will have over national policies and prestige...
If there is no dream for folks interested in a National Space Flght Program, then why go to school to learn technical studies, engineering, military service, et. al.
I think we are full speed ahead to losing more than just NASA and even the private industry trying to certify their programs to turn space exploration into an after thought and into a brief history lesson for future minds of mush that will know we do not do that anymore...
What a waste...
