6. Worse, he accused Obama of accepting campaign donations in return for his
$$ support of the planetarium.

I feel sad for those who choose to remain hopelessly ignorant.

7. It's an earmark thing.
Someone must have pointed out to him that he voted for the bear DNA study that was his previous favourite earmark scapegoat.

Also, isn't the Planetarium in question in Illinois? So it's clearly been palling around with domestic terrorists. :eyes:

9. I don't even believe that McCain believes in God. He only believes in McCain.
And will do anything politically expedient to further his career ... including cut funding to science, if that's what it takes to attract the fundies.

Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites.

I LOVE planetariums!! McCain can kiss my planetarium-loving ass.
