I'm thinking the whole Hubble controversy is just another way to bash Bush. I would like to know the scientists reaction if Clinton or another Democrat decided to shut down the Hubble?

Sorry you are wrong here.

The same.

Hubble's time has come and gone. It was revolutionary in it's time but now will be superceded by other space telescopes that do much more. Hell, if it makes the Hubble-lovers feel better, call one of the new ones Hubble II or Son of Hubble. Then ask them to shut up and help us get to Mars.
