I'm watching the You Tube debate. I almost fell off the couch when
they had a question from Steven Neilson of Denver who asked about the
candidate's view on space exploration and sending people to Mars. I
guess I have to give kudos to CNN for running the question, but I'm
incredibly irked that Anderson Cooper just directed the question to
Mike Huckabee and to Tom Tancredo. Huckabee dodged the part about
sending people to Mars, but he did say that he supported a strong space
program so even though I'm not a Huckabee fan, I've got to give him at
least partial kudos for that answer. I'm completely disgusted with Tom
Tancredo. What an idiot! He implied that spending money on space is
increasing our deficit. The space program delivers so much more to the
economy than what we spend on it. Tancredo is just a short-sighted
demagogue. Thank goodness he's going to be out of
Congress after 2008.
