Works for me.

Let's face it, folks, neither the Republican nor the
Democrats are getting us into space.  Clinton didn't
do it, Bush isn't doing it, and who is next?  Jeb
Bush?  Hillary Clinton?  Condi Rice?  Al Gore?  Does
anybody think that any of these folks are going to get
us into space?  Does anybody think that
Bush/Clinton/Rice/Gore all put together are going to
put us in space?  We have to put ourselves into space,
and one of many ways to do this is to put pressure on
those in government, whether they have R's, D's, I's,
L's or G's after their names.

Republicans really can solve a lot of problems in this
area, IF they have a good reason to.  Democrats really
can solve a lot of problems in this area, IF they have
a good reason to.  I'd really like pro-space to be a
"powerful interest group" that both of the Big Parties
would court, but now I'm in a fantasy land, aren't I?
