Space/Science » in reply to Obama caves in, supports NASA's stupid manned space program

Contrast that with McCain.

"MCCAIN HAS VOTED TO CUT NASA FUNDING TO PAY FOR OTHER PRIORITIES." (Caps theirs, I'm not shouting.)

:McCain's 2007 Vote For An Amendment To Reimburse Local And State Governments For The Cost Of Jailing Illegal Immigrants Would Have Been Paid For By Reducing NASA Funding. McCain voted against Mikulski, D-Md., motion to table (kill) the Ensign, R-Nev., amendment no. 3295 that would provide an additional $150 million for the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which reimburses local and state governments for the cost of jailing illegal immigrants. It would be offset by a reduction of the same amount from the NASA science, aeronautics and exploration account. [Vote 367, HR 3093, 10/16/07, Motion agreed to 68-25: R 28-19; D 38-6 (ND 34-5, SD 4-1); I 2-0]"

NASA isn't a priority for McCain.
