![]() congress doesnt listen to anyone but the wealthy who pay for their re elections..... You really are an ignorant sod, aren't you? *Please explain just how "the wealthy" do this, given campaign finance limits. the congressmen get groups to do their advertising for them. so as to avoid campagn funding law limits, they do this by promising stuff to these groups..... basically their votes are bought you scratch my back i will scratch yours. this is a major cause of our countries troubles today. it causes gridlock, because no one can compromise, even when its in everyones best interest. now here again is the direct paste from the republican debate. please explain in detail how any of these presidential candidates are supportive of MSF at all? ================================================== =================== The Republican presidential field sent a clear message to NASA workers in America: They don’t see a federal role in funding human space flight, [video clip at 6:50 to 9:28]. Debate moderator John King of CNN asked the other six candidates in attendance whether they would continue federal funding for human space flight. Not a single candidate - Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain — raised their hand. The unanimous verdict came during a New Hampshire presidential debate tonight and following a scathing assessment of NASA management by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says "NASA has become an absolute case study in why bureaucracy cannot innovate,” he said. “What we have is bureaucracy after bureaucracy, failure after failure.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
