I honestly thought about 90% of ETers would have agreed with me...I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004...and I would again...he restored honor to the White House...serious thoughts...
If by "saved," you mean "violently, unnecessarily, and tragically eliminated," I have to agree with you. Since I think you didn't, I'll have to mark you up as a raving lunatic.
Wow. Where to start with this statement...Well, not enough time in the day at this point. That's your opinion and you are entitled. All I can say is look at the state of the Republican party now and how they've been doing in congressional elections and that pretty much sums up how Bush did as president. It is sad really. The Republican party has (had) a proud tradition until this administration.
Supporting this unnecessary war... is supporting violations of the Geneva Conventions (which we signed), The UN Charter (which we signed), Nuremberg Principles (We We Promote) and the Constitution of the USA under which only Congress declares war not an out of control Unitary Executive... You should support law, international law.. true justice, a true integirity... not an irresponsible, sociopathic amoral individual like Bush... I am a conservative... I believe in the Conservation of Our Constitution not the shredding of it. I believe in the Conservation of Our Financial Resources (not the present fiscal irresponsibility) I believe in the Conservation of our Military for the TRUE defense of our country and not a War on A Word (terror) I Believe in the Conservation of USA Honor which Bush has shat away to say the least. You should stand for truth... justice and compassion... not some biased support of some radical liberal neo-con ideologue like Bush... very serious thoughts indeed.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/06/andrew-sullivan-bush-admi_n_95305.html Bush dishonored the White House and this nation so many times it is hard to keep up with them all...

I could go on for days... you are out of touch with reality...
NASA?!? I'd rather watch space exploration programs on the Discovery channel vs. our kids getting blown up in Iraq. If you want to do something productive, get rid of entitlement programs and social welfare.
Saying the government should get rid of NASA to save money..... Thats like saying that you should start buying generic toilet paper instead of the nice fluffy stuff if you want to start saving money at home... instead of quitting a compulsive gambling habit that pisses away your money.
