Re: Hubble to be Repaired.....what a load of hooey!

On 1 Nov 2006 10:59:21 -0800, in a place far, far away, "Eric Chomko"
<pne.chomko@xxxxxxxxxxx> made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such
a way as to indicate that:

What kind of political nutcase would think that anyone significant in
the electorate cares about Hubble?

The legions that complained when O'Keefe claimed we couldn't afford to
fix Hubble and finish ISS. Griffin found a way to do both.

No one is going to win or lose an election over it.

In Maryland they might. Two tight races there, govenor and US senate.

It is not a campaign issue in either race.

Sure as hell makes the Republicans seem a lot better than a week ago.

To very few people. What part of *it is not a campaign issue* do you
not understand? Has Cardin been running ads against Steele about
Hubble? No? Then stop making this idiotic argument.

Also, it is pretty clear that, among other things, you are clueless
about Baltimore/Washington Parkway politics.

It's only clear to morons like you. And that has nothing to do with
winning or losing elections.

GSFC and STScI are both in the region I was speaking of. Keep talking
about an area you know nothing about and which I live in.

I know a great deal about it. More than you, in fact, since you are
under the delusion that Hubble is a campaign issue there.

No, it wasn't until just yesterday in fact, as was Jonathon's and my
point. Jobs, Rand...

It's not, even now. If it wasn't an issue when there was no decision,
why would it be one now that there's been one? Particularly since
it's been expected for many months?

Here let's see how many votes are the difference between the senate
race between Cardin and Steele and the govenor's race between Ehrlich
and O'Malley. And then we'll compare those differences to the number of
people that work at GSFC and STScI.

The point is that an annoucement like HST repair favors whoever the
incumbents are.

How does it favor Steele? What did he have to do with it? What does
the governor have to do with space? Why are you such a moron?
