What happened to Bush's "Going to Mars," agenda? That was so
damn important just months ago, along with the gay bashing. I really liked that plan, it seems so important now in the scheme of things.

1. I think somebody told him
they don't have any money for the Mars project.
Maybe he would have to choose between going to Mars and war or two.

6. A new idea.
Bush decided not to go to Mars after his advisers told him there is no oil there.

3. Another example ..
of how the B* Team doesn't always know how to manipulate the public. I had the feeling they thought they would say this, everyone would rally and praise them for being such 'visionaries' and having such courage and the spirit of true adventurers and all that. What actually happened was a collective, "Huh?" So, they dropped it.

5. The polls indicated
that people saw it as the bullshit distraction it was meant to be and weren't biting. So they killed it in a hurry and went off on the next bullshit distraction (wasn't it steroids in athletics?).

These people even underestimate the sheeple! :eyes:

10. Also job-training for newly-released ex-prisoners
which is not in itself a bad idea, but wayyyy off the mark and out of perspective regarding the reality of today's economy and job market.

On the other hand, maybe he was just concerned about the future of Cheney, Rumsfeld, himself, and the rest of BushCo....

11. Election time....
Some of his more "far-out" ideas have been stymied. Just my opinion. God, if he somehow gets in there again, we are IN TROUBLE.
