Weldon is good on NASA, but nobody listens to him. If a Dem sits in the White House in 2009 the Moon, Mars and Beyond program won't be a consideration since it will be gone. Congress will be concerned with NEO since that is where the military interests will be for a long time to come. The Treaty will continue to stifle private space development forever.

There's a silver lining to every cloud! I just hope (unrealistically) that the money stays in NASA for other purposes.

Dave Weldon has been telling the truth about how the RATs have emasculated the Space and Military budgets in the past, so I am not surprised that he is currently blowing the whistle on the antics of the left. While Weldon is courageously sounding the alarm, the Congressman's home paper, the Florida Today, is doing it's best to bury the story, and hide the unpleasant facts from Spacecoast voters. You wouldn't believe the half-truths, whole-untruths, omissions, and out-of-context quotes that this paper has engaged in, in an effort to deny the real facts from its readers. The dishonest mullet wrapper the Florida Today, is to the left and the RATs in this country, what Pravda once was to the bolsheviks. Leftist propaganda dressed up as the news is the order of the day.

Weldon has done a great job in the past, but this slanted publication has made his job very difficult.

Dems . . . . and military interests!!?? Are you sure about that? The Dems have no military interests.

But, getting Martian votes to keep them in power - THAT has potential!!

Ever notice how the anti-NASA folks don't know jack sh*! about science? I'm not qualified to offer an opinion on how well a heart/lung transplant surgeon does his job, so I don't.
