“actually, no, I did not, you are an ignoramus who cannot read”

Try again sport

Throw all the hyperbole you want. I’m proud to be American and proud of what NASA has done. Obviously you are not.

No, I’m not proud of those 3 million dollar hammers. McCain is that you?

I flew Navy P-3s for 20 years. They have a toilet. It was designed to be a chemical type, like in RVs. But the Navy decided that it would be too expensive to use them that way, plus the chance of spilage in turbulence, so what you have is a toilet seat and a bucket. There is also a separate stand-up pisser. First one to take a dump in the toilet has to clean it and buy yhe crew a case of beer. I always carried several plastic bags in my flght bag, just in case. P-3 missions used to run about 16 hours, so the chance of needing the toilet was high and using the pisser 100%. I believe the P-8 also will have a toilet but don’t know the details.

But, you should change your homepage, anyone who supports the 3 million dollar hammer and is proud of it, is not 100% fiscally conservative....

Anyone who supports sending NEA shills into space because it “feels good” is not a fiscal conservative.

Sorry Willy, your highspeed train has left the station.

Is there no depth you won’t go to? Perhaps you can pull a couple other liberal agenda items out of your quiver? You seem to have missed a couple of them in your effort to get something to stick.

Really? Like calling someone upatriotic because they don’t support the NASA waste and 90 million dollar toilets?

What next sonny boy? maybe call me racist?

Look sport, after that post of yours, equating someone as being unpatriotic to not wanting to support more government waste, I had to look at the header to see if I had accidentally logged into DU. It was either that, or I was posting against a troll or a Florida resident.

Well, I wasn’t on DU, so I looked at your posting history, and saw you have quite the trolling history AND you are a Florida resident. Well, that explained it all.

I would no longer argue corn subsidies with an Iowa resident, then argue NASA with a Florida resident.

Your a typical Republican. We need to cut spending... but NOT IN MY DISTRICT!!!

Sorry young man, that dog don’t hunt here. Try that on Politico or some other forum.

Hyperbole? That is your entire posting history young buck. I asked for some proof, and you respond about patriotism? A bit of a strawman there...

Yeah, I’m a real communist because I think a 90 million dollar toilet is a waste at this time in our economy.

Your posting history speaks for itself.
