Doesn't change that they're relevant.
Indeed. ಠ_ರೃ


EDIT: Romney & Ryan unveil their plans for space exploration and NASA's priorities.

Boils down to "Obama is doing it all wrong, we'll do it right. Once we figure out how all that rockety stuff works."  ::)

No word as to whether Romney would request that NASA include windows that can be opened from the inside on future spaceship designs.
Also no word as to when NASA would begin its search for Kolob.



DOUBLE-EDIT: Paul Ryan was asked why Ron Paul supporters should support he and Romney. His answer didn't exactly knock it out of the park.

Quote
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan made a pitch to Ron Paul supporters during a  rally in Lima, Ohio, on Monday when asked why libertarians should support the Romney-Ryan ticket.

"For those of us who would have voted in the primaries for, say, Ron Paul, why should we vote for you and not, say, libertarians or Vermin Supreme and the Pony Party or something like that?" a man from the audience asked during the question and answer session.

"Do you want Barack Obama to be re-elected?" Ryan asked. "Then don't vote for Ron Paul."

Ooooookay. So you're saying they *should* vote for Vermin Supreme then?  ???

I don't think Ryan understands that the "Anything But Obama" argument doesn't work very well on the libertarian crowd. Obama, while not ideal, is not the death of all they know like he is to social conservatives. And of the two main candidates in this election, Obama is not the one who betrayed His Holiness The Glorious Prophet Ron Ernest Paul Of Pittsburgh.

He was born in Pittsburgh, or so says Dr. Wik. E. Pedia.

From my perspective, Mitt Romney has managed to take a situation where a Democrat president has been pushing through some quite unpopular reforms that have alienated a large number of voters and fuck it up. He has fucked everything up for himself every single time. Gaff after gaff, fuck up after fuck up. I just think he's a bit of a robot that's not particularly bright.

Obama hasn't made very many reforms. He repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell, but that's rather tiny overall. The only large reform he's made is the ACA.

please, please deport him off this planet.

he's probably the reason aliens haven't visited.

If he was president, he'd be like Bush except with less charisma.

Bush was not anywhere near has horrible as Romney would be.

Bush gets a lot of criticism but he did good things, such as like PEPFAR. He wasn't really cut out for being President in a situation like the one 9/11 presented. Had it not happened he wouldn't have been anywhere near as disliked. All of his worst actions stem from it.

Romney is a blatant far-right shrill who will pander to corporations and organized religion so he can get more power for himself, just because.

Ways that bush wasn't like Romney:
Bush got his wealth from oil, Romney got his wealth from murdering corporations and feasting on their corpses.
Bush liked beer and fried chicken (and cocaine), Romney likes bottled water and whatever Mormons are allowed to eat.
Bush dodged the draft by joining the Texas national guard, Romney dodged the draft by going to France.
Bush comfortably wears cowboy boots, denim and a 10 gallon hat, Romney comfortably wears a $10 thousand dollar business suit.
Bush never used the words "ardent" and "NASCAR" in the same sentence, he probably never even used the word "ardent".
Etc.
