Andrew Sullivan is right of myself.. I think "center right" would be the appropriate term, although the main exception is that he's a big supporter of gay rights. (He's gay himself, actually).

I love American politics. There's been a radical shift in fortune in the past two weeks. I have no idea what November is going to look like, but it's going to be a wild ride.

But a wise man said that absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence.
But a recent poll had a majority not wanting to go to the Moon or Mars.
Oh well.

I personally do not see a problem about giving equal access to marriage. I do feel that anyone speaking about such an issue from the point of view of it being wrong is just as entitled as those who support it without being bashed for it. I accept that this needs to be worked out at a state by state level I also accept that there will be hotly contested issue but to go after anyone who supports either position is wrong.

Imo, the moon/mars initiative is great idea. Probably the best idea this Administration has ever had. I really want to believe that Bush is sincere about this. But...

Yeah, no Moon/Mars initiative. I already don't believe his ideas here -- I'm a space exploration advocate since practically forever, but my skepticism about this amazes me. Yeah, you can really afford a major mission like this when we're doing the War Without End thing; how are you going to *finance* it? How are you going to finanace *anything*?
I just don't want to listen to Bush any longer. I've never much liked him (though I spent about 2 months in 2001, post-9/11, feeling oddly impressed by him), and don't trust him at all since his meeting with Vicente Fox of Mexico to legalize all the illegal aliens, basically act as if the US/Mexico border means nothing. I'd hope it was political suicide, except I'm not sure I like any of the Democrat candidates...
(Oh, combining the ideas of financing the space mission and the illegal aliens... I hit on this idea, then read a Letter to the Editor in a newspaper saying pretty much the same thing a few days later, which amused me. Perhaps we should outsource all the space jobs to India or some other cheap-labor place, such as is happening to practically everything, and use illegal aliens for our astronauts?

Sci-Fi fans could always unite and nominate Babylon 5 actor Jerry Doyle as a write-in candidate for president (Jerry ran for house of representives in California just a few years back and lost unfortunately. I agreed with all of his stances since he was a moderate Republican and I rather see Jerry Doyle running the country than Bush or Kerry (God help is the Democrats nominate him for Presidential candidate)).
Heh, I'm watching a Babylon 5 DVD right now, so your idea is putting some very weird images into my head.

Well it will take a world effort to be honest. It will mean finishing and making practical Freedom Station.
You're absolutely right, G. And it would be wonderful if we all did get together to do this. That would be a real path towards a hopeful future. International cooperation towards achieving a huge goal that's just beyond our reach. And once we reached Mars, what else might we do next...

The current Republican Party, ultra-conservative extremists? Ya right. Pick 10 Congressional decisions at random from the last 20 years and count how many from either party "broke ranks". The RINOs outnumber the DINOs by a ratio of several to one, easily, even when the Republicans are the minority. Liberal measures always have almost complete Democrat support and a significant number of Republicans too, while conservative measures seldom get more than 4/5 of the Republicans behind it. No, what we've got is a hardcore leftist party (Democrats) and a mildly liberal or centrist party (Republicans) that just keeps getting called ultra-super-mega-hyper-extremist-right-wingtip by the other party just for not being hardcore leftists like them.

God this disgusts me.
