John Kerry brought two astronauts with him to campaign at the Kennedy Space Center. He strolled among the rocket relics. And he recalled a day when those rockets were the tools a dedicated army of Americans used to do what then seemed impossible. But in the heart of a community where more than 20,000 people work on space programs, the Democrats' candidate for president met with a roomful of voters without commenting on President Bush's proposal to send astronauts to the moon and Mars or offering a specific vision of his own for exploring space.TrackBack URL for this entry:

By not saying anything he can not loose votes. He can only loose the faith of those that trust his judgement in such matters. For they will read between the lines and form there own opinion of what was not said by him.

The current President really wants to do a lot more exploration manned and otherwise but there is no public or congressional support.
“HINT” – Open up about some of the findings or just humor all of us kooks so we can go see what the pyramids/tubes/artwork/buildings/reservoirs/seasonal dark spots/500ft long snail shaped sand dunes/giant domes/giant spires/giant face(s)/and on etcetera – that they have photographed - REALLY ARE!
We could do LIVE broadcasts and get the public excited and talking about “What the (insert topic here) could be!”
The budget for NASA would go through the roof and the public would get use to “different ideas” that may be useful for the future development of mankind.
Don’t expect Lurch to do anything except maybe cut NASA’s budget to fund a bunch of Government Urban Youth Hip-Hop Centers in a lame attempt to prove he’s Americas 2nd Black President. – “Gag. . .”

Amusing political satire, some one! Be careful,
we live in a politically correct society now.
