John Glenn was a REAL hero astronaut in the pioneering days yet he turned out to be a political ringpiece.

Also a terrible speaker. Kelly was on the Corporate Convention speaker circuit the past few years. He had a good story to tell about his space travels, but was boring and had zero presentation skills.

He was one speaker no one asked to come back.

John Glenn was evil.

Number of deaths in the Space Shuttle Program - 14
Number of deaths in the Mercury Program - 0

So tell me how the Mercury Program was so much more dangerous than the Space Shuttle Program?

And when you say “glorified airline pilot” do you include Chesley Sullenberger in that list?

I’ve met Kelly. He’s an ahole.
And besides that he’s a very short ahole.

He’s proof that astronauts don’t need to be smart, just politically connected.

He wants to Ban AR-15’s (which he calls Assault Weapons), but his Wife was shot by a Nut with a Pistol. The first round did the damage.

The rest of the Cartridges in the Magazine that were fired injured and killed others while the Law Abiding Citizens in attendance were helplessly Unarmed.

He could have used a one shot Derringer and done the same damage to Gaby Giffords.

He’d make as bad a senator as that guy with “war hero” after his name.

Mark Kelly is positive proof that time in Space messes the brain’s functions.
We had Bill Nelson down in Florida who was an example.

Biden must have stowed away on the ISS for a while. He is “not all there!”

Joe Biden is absent while present!

John Glenn was only about one person, John Glenn.

Never a team player and always ready to cut you out of the pattern.

Lest we forget John Glenn.

The “wholesome Glenn,” was pictured, by Cronkite and the rest of the Newsies, to be the “All American Boy!”
He turned out to be a nasty SOB as he served Ohio and himself in the Senate. He parlayed support for the guilty philanderer, Willie J Blythe, into a last ride in space. Glenn was a shifty snake, never wholesome and possessing more of the “wrong stuff.”
Mark Kelly is hiding his true agenda. We know that he is a gun grabber. What else does he have in store for Arizona and the Nation?

Harrison Schmitt was an impressive astronaut. Kelly was a soy boy in space and is a proxy for his wife.

John Glenn was an astronaut turned far left Democrat also.
