I can't stand the man, but that right there is funny





Newt Gingrich Defends Space Exploration, Moon Colony During GOP Debate In Florida (VIDEO)

During the GOP debate in Florida Thursday night, CNN host Wolf Blitzer asked the candidates what they would do about the nation's foundering space program, an issue with significant implications for Florida, where many space missions launch.

"I'm not looking for a colony on the moon," Mitt Romney said, a clear jab at Newt Gingrich, who has been promoting lunar colonies and missions to Mars in recent days. "I think the cost of that would be hundreds of billions, if not trillions."

...

"We run a $1.2 trillion deficit right now ... and to go out there and promise great things and big ideas is not a responsible thing," Santorum said. "We have to start cutting programs."

"I don' think we should go to the moon," Ron Paul said. "I think maybe we should send some politicians up there sometimes ... I don't think we need a bigger [space] program. Health care or something else deserves a lot more priority than going to the moon."

I think what Gingrich may really be trying to do here is find a way to have affairs without earthlings knowing, specifically of the wife kind.

Looked at their Color Flat Screen monitor,
Using a computer that would not have fit in their house in 1961.
Connected to an information network somewhat more complex than a string and two tin cans,
Momentarly excused themselvs to check their TVO or DVR and,
possably microwaved a cup of freeze dried coffee,
All while outdoing each other explaining that their was onthing of value on the moon and we had no reason to go back their, much less try to live their.
Kind of makes you believe in magic.
