Its funny how the Rs are fiscally conservative only with programs they don't like. ;-) "Crist's GOP challenger, Marco Rubio, has also criticized the president for "more money on the cash-for-clunkers program than the space program" Politico reports, while Democratic Rep. Kendrick Meek wrote an op-ed last month, calling the strategy "unacceptable." Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) is spearheading a letter-writing campaign involving 29 lawmakers from nine states, the Houston Chronicle reports, to keep Constellation from shutting down. Olson's district includes NASA's Johnson Space Center and could suffer significant job losses under the administration's plans, the Chronicle reports. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans in favor of Constellation are developing a coordinated effort to deliver speeches in defense of the program on the House floor in the coming weeks. GOP Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama is also speaking out against Constellation's demise, the Huntsville Times reports, citing the jobs that could be lost in Alabama. "The jobs are important," Shelby said. "We're going to do everything we can to retain this program."" cbsnews.com

No, we've heard all kinds of racists make all kinds of racist remarks. The president pro tempore of the senate is a Klansman. Democrat, naturally. LMAO. Whenever the issue of racism comes up, you all throw out the one Dem who has a questionable past. So then, o wise one, how come whenever I hear about the GOP caucus, I only see white faces? Exactly how big is that 'big' GOP tent? And how come its always a winger behind every racist putdown of the Obamas? Inquiring minds want to know.
