Just give us a few months, Senator. About seven.

You can’t call being a politician “employed.” That’s like saying that being a vampire makes you a a health-care professional.
Go read his bio, anywhere. He went to college, then took gub’ment job, after gub’ment job. Elected jobs or hand me downs from political cronies, always gub’ment j-o-b-s. He’s another one who has NEVER worked in the private sector.
Here’s hoping he soon gets the opportunity to be unemployed.
He and his family have done quite well financially along the way with our tax dollars.
Choosing Sharron Angle as Reid’s challenger will make replacing Harry Reid more difficult.
The adjective you want is “fun,” Bill. “Difficult” means something entirely different.
What Carl said.
The sad fact is, you know even if he loses, someone will pay him money for something. The only way to truly be in the private sector would be for him to destroy all his political clout.

And that’s something to be ashamed of? We need a public sector that employs competent, experienced people. Treating public employees as second-class makes it harder to get the public employees we want and need.
And if you think Sharon Angle is going to get elected on her abolish Social Security, let Scientology run the prisons platform….
And that’s something to be ashamed of?
It’s certainly nothing to be proud of, despite the president and First Lady’s speeches extolling public service and denigrating the private sector. This administration has less private-sector experience than any in recent history, and it shows in their (lack of) competence.
And if you think Sharon Angle is going to get elected on her abolish Social Security, let Scientology run the prisons platform….
I’m pretty sure that’s not going to be her platform. The only platform she needs is to not be Harry Reid. Just as Obama won by not being George Bush.
Treating public employees as second-class makes it harder to get the public employees we want and need.
Treating incompetent idiots who have never earned an honest dime as first-class statesmen (gag) makes it harder to get public employees who will act responsibly.
And if you think Sharon Angle getting elected on her abolish Social Security, let Scientology run the prisons platform isn’t going to be entertaining your deluding yourself.
Treating public employees as second-class makes it harder to get the public employees we want and need.
Nowadays they seem to regard themselves as first-class and those of us in the private sector as cattle.
Yep. That’s why Reid must go.
“It’s certainly nothing to be proud of, despite the president and First Lady’s speeches extolling public service ”
Tell that to a cop. Which Harry Reid was while putting himself through night school.

Or the members of the military fighting for your freedom around the world, many of whom joined straight from high school.

Now THERE’S a constituency that Harry Reid understands.
I didn’t say that people shouldn’t be proud of their service. I said they shouldn’t be proud to have never worked in the private sector.
I have worked in both and found about equal levels of competence and incompetence in both. Downgrading one or the other is a classic example of how folks these days are looking for ways to divide the nation instead of bring it together.
BTW a good article today in The Space Review suggesting something that I have been arguing for since the early 1990’s.

Namely that space transportation development might work better as a public-private partnership. No surprise there, success industrial development in the United States has always been based on a pragmatic partnership between government and industry, not ideology. Its the New Space Advocates that seemed to believe government was somehow in the way or their enemy.
As a side note, it looks like more then ever that the Congressional fight over Constellation will result in a continuing resolution for the NASA budget, delaying NASA funding for the “Commercial Crew” Dragon by at least a year or more. Under the old policy its quite likely that COTS-D would have been providing the funding next year. So much for the new policy accelerating the “commercial” development of space.
Downgrading one or the other is a classic example of how folks these days are looking for ways to divide the nation instead of bring it together.
These days??? As in “yesterday we were SO united”? Let me guess, we need to “bridge the gap” right?
No, we need to look at where we are and how we got here.
Its the New Space Advocates that seemed to believe government was somehow in the way or their enemy.
When government (NASA) becomes mostly a jobs program, it IS in the way; there’s no ideology involved. It needs significant restructuring in order to again be in a position to assist in the achievement of advances.
Curt,
[[[there’s no ideology involved. ]]]
Nope, just simple greed. We want the money and jobs for our “New Space” firms instead. The Zero-G experiment is a good example.

NASA OIG Review of NASA’s Microgravity Flight Services
[[[The Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that Zero G has provided inconsistent levels of microgravity flight services since it began providing NASA with reduced gravity flights in August 2008. ]]]
Yes, poorer quality flights then NASA. And you wonder why NASA fought so hard to keep it in house, as with HSF?
To parahrase; “Greed is good.” At least in the pursuit of profit.
I notice that report did not specifically say ZG is providing poorer service than occurred in-house prior to the contract. Nor did it outline the pre-contract in-house costs.
And you wonder why NASA fought so hard to keep it in house, as with HSF?
No I don’t.
