Mark Kelly: Maybe a Good Astronaut, but Would Be a Terrible Senator
American Thinker.com ^ | August 9, 2020 | Elise Cooper

Elections have consequences. Whether voting for president or senator, Americans should be wary of those who avoid discussing their stands on the issues. When Joe Biden and Mark Kelly do talk about the issues, it is obvious that their views are in line with the leftists. Just because Mark Kelly's name has the astronaut title, that does not mean that it should change to the title of senator. Those who might think of voting for him should look at his stance or non-stance on the issues. American Thinker interviewed some Arizonans who spoke about how Kelly is not right for Arizona.

David Eppihimer, the Pima County Republican Party chairman, strongly believes that "Mark Kelly tries to portray himself as an Arizonan, but he is not. I believe he is a Texan and maintains a home there. He wants to make himself out as an independent from Arizona. This is how Kyrsten Sinema got elected to the Senate, by portraying herself effectively as a centrist, not as a hardline Democrat, which she is. Kelly will vote straight down the Democratic/Chuck Schumer party line."

Mark Kelly has also aligned himself with Joe Biden. Kelly made his support known in a tweet: "Joe Biden understands the challenges Arizonans face and knows what it's like to be knocked down, get back up, and keep serving others. We need a president who will unite us and find common ground to get things done. That's why I'll be voting for Joe Biden."

Arizona is a permit- less carry or Constitutional Carry gun state. This seems to be endangered if Mark Kelly is elected senator, considering that Joe Biden has announced he would make Beto O'Rourke his gun czar, the same person who openly advocates for gun confiscation.

The Rats try and succeed sometimes portraying themselves as moderate or even conservative. No such thing! Remember how they tried that in 2006? People fall for that crap everytime.

He has an impressive resume. Based on it you’d think he has more sense than to run on the demoncrat side.

John Glenn was a great astronaut but a real lousy senator.

There have been a few astronauts who have been less than stellar (pun intended) later. John Glenn (another democrat), crazy Depends lady, and I think there was one other female who turned into a freak.

I hope we can pull this one out, I have a bad feeling though that too many voters will fall for the “cool space cowboy” vibe and vote for him not realizing what a hard left gun grabber he is.

McSally is going to need a major boost from Trump - and Trump's willingness to bluntly call things what they are.

The only problem for Kelly is that he looks more like a Martian than a cool Space Cowboy. Buzz Aldrin was a Space Cowboy.

..McSally has to hang China and the anti 2nd Amendment stance around his neck. I expect the President to be out here at least 2 or 3 more times before the election...

Mark Kelly is a hypocrite. Remember that Arizonans, when you go to the polls. He wants to grab your guns but keep guns for himself.

It would seem that prolonged wightlessness in space transforms susceptible individuals into certified Space Cadets.

There’s a certain sympathy vote involved here too because he’s Gabby Giffords husband.

Not to mention the sympathy vote for gabby. He would make a great gun control advocate. Tjus disgracing the oath he took in the Navy. Unless his was different than the one my dad swore me to. Uphold and defend, NOT dismantle the constitution of the United States. Being an ass-tro-naught does not necessarily make you brilliant.

Yeah, that low gravity on Mars makes Martians fat. And the CO2 atmosphere makes them grow little Hitler mustaches.

Ask him “As an astronaut, what do you think of the Space Force?”

His answer should give him away.

Meh, these days being an astronaut is a glorified airline pilot, and mission specialists are the flight attendants. This isn’t sitting in a mercury capsule hoping it won’t explode.

“Giffords PAC” has been running a lot of ads against Cory Gardner in Colorado.
