Who was the last 'liberal' who spent serious money on manned space
exploration?

What happened during the 8 Clinton years?

Conclusion: Your contention is merely silly.

Clinton was certainly a Democrat but he sure wasn't a liberal

Let's look again. He wanted socialized medicine, gays in the
military, etc, etc. If Clinton wasn't a liberal he put up a damned
good front of being one.

Clinton's problem was that he compromised everyplace he shouldn't have
and wouldn't compromise everywhere he should have.

Clinton by cutting the DOD budget.

What happened during the 8 Clinton years?

Clinton balanced the budget by not allowing the DOD budget to overrun
and thus balanced the whole US budget. NASA was funded at the same rate
as previous years.

The problem with the GOP is that they view NASA as an extension of the
military even though Ike specifically created it otherwise. The Dems
want peaceful space exploration in lieu of war.
