The pathetic alternative to Bush is Kerry......
Keep in mind there where exactly two U.S. Senators who publicly opposed Cassini because they were suckered by radical environmentalist scare tactics about its RTGs. They were Barbara Boxer of California and Kerry. As a Californian, I'm deeply embarrassed to have Boxer as my Senator. However I wasn't surprised when she opposed Cassini (she's a brain dead, 1960's liberal). What's Kerry's excuse?
You can speculate about Bush and the Space Program. However if Kerry is elected then it is clear that the Space Program is toast.
