During the 1984-93 budget battles over Space Station Freedom, the station
always enjoyed much wider support among the Republicans than among the

were bipartisan but most of their cosponsors were Democrats.

My recollection is that Senator Dale Bumpers (D-AR) was one of the
strongest opponents of the space station.
