Those who scoff at Newt Gingrich’s plans for space should keep in mind that similar arguments were made against John Kennedy when he proposed his moon quest.
JFK had a cold war going on, but he still saw the necessity of going to space.
Today, our President will face China in the race to a moon base.
Does anyone really want China controlling space from a militarized moon base? Or controlling all of the minerals available on the moon?
Along with the great idea proposed by Rick Santorum concerning manufacturing companies and capital gains taxes, a US/China “base race” would make America’s economy take off like a rocket.
Between the manufacturing jobs created throughout the country and NASA in the southern states building our own moon base facilities, the jobs spurred by re-invigorating the American oil industry by creating the Keystone pipeline, and allowing drilling (and frakking) in the US and off shore, unemployment would statistically disappear.
Unfortunately, Newt Gingrich, the only candidate with the foresight to think outside the box, is considered un-electable. This is his own fault. Thinking outside the box put him on a couch with Nancy. It leads him to consider the racist Woodrow Wilson, the man who gave us the Fed and the Income Tax, in a favorable light, calling himself a “Wilsonian” progressive! He says and does things that bring voting for him to the point of near impossibility, but then you have to remember that he did lead the most successful Republican revolt in our age, bringing us the only balanced budgets in my lifetime.
I must give Rick Santorum credit. He has not run as I expected him to. Unlike Bachmann, he has run as a man of deep faith, but has kept it in the context of who he is, not beating people over the head with fear based warnings about natural disasters being warnings from God. He has not taken the bait concerning the contraception issue.
Obama has different traps to spring on whichever candidate he has to face.
Mitt Romney will be attacked through Wall Street and Romney-(Obama)-care.
If he puts his religion in the forefront, Santorum will be attacked as a religious fanatic out to hurt women through radical church teachings. Up to this point, he has struck a perfect balance. Pointing out his past defeat means nothing when taken out of context of the election as a whole. His support for Arlen Specter shows a glaring lack of vision and courage, and this is my remaining strike against him. His support of Spector makes it hard to consider trusting him.
Gingrich will face his government shut-down and “tantrums” besides his personal moral failings.
It seems the best we can hope for is for all of them to keep any of them from being a clear winner, keeping the Obama slime machine from being able to get focused on anyone for a while and having a brokered convention where we can pick a real Conservative on the second ballot.

Or we could just dump Willard Mittney, Newt-for-Sale, and the Ayatollah Santorum (“big government” chickenhawks who’ve proven that they’d sell their kids and their dogs into prostitution if there were any chance it could buy them enough votes) to nominate the one guy in the race who’s a real conservative and has nothing whatsoever that Barry and his little ACORN saboteurs can fasten upon.
Ron Paul.
Jeez, don’t you “Cops of the World!” neocons just hate that?
That’s right Tucci78, the only way out of this mess is to follow the constitution. Newt and Romney have so much baggage and poor voting records they don’t stand a chance against Ron Paul. Obama won’t have a leg to stand on, once he’s out he should be arrested.
Unless the guy taking the oath of office on January 20, 2013 is Ron Paul, you can bet your life that our POTUS-With-An-Asterisk and the rest of his criminal regime will not be arrested, nor will they be indicted, nor tried and convicted and imprisoned as they deserve.
The Republican establishment has a “gentlemen’s agreement” with their National Socialist Democrat American Party (NSDAP) colleagues in their great “go along to get along” grip on government in our nation. When they’ve got the duty to enforce the U.S. Constitution (and therefore prosecute people like Barry Soebarkah – alias “Barack Hussein Obama II”), they don’t.
In return, the National Socialists don’t pursue Republicans who commit similar crimes of malfeasance in public office. It’d be incestuous if it weren’t for the fact that it’s the private citizenry who are getting screwed.
I want Dr. Paul as president of these United States if only because we should get something out of the federal Department of Justice instead of gunrunning schemes that amount to an act of war against Mexico.
Besides, there’s Alcatraz Island, just sitting there. We could hold a national bake sale to refurbish it o that it could hold the whole Obama Administration for the rest of their miserable lives.
Ron Paul for President. This time, it’s gotta cost them.
We hear a lot of untrue statements from the mass media – even Fox and news outlets only tell their side of any subject. We woke up. We’ve lost our naivete’ – our trust – but the spirit of America runs deep and that’s the part that nobody out here working for a living is willing to give up. We learn fast and we are not afraid to face facts. We lke being underestimated, we like being quet and not of any big interest to those making all the noise. We do know this. We sent you to Washington to do a job for us and you haven’t and won’t do it knowing full well what America wants. We know the difference between right and wrong. If you can’t do your job you will lose your job. If we can’t find somebody to go there and do it for us, we’ll do it for ourselves.
I know Newt is the only one that can stand beside Obama and counter every argument. They both are guilty so they can’t just yammer about each other’s faults, they will have to talk about America sooner or later. When they do, Newt knows America – her history- her spirit – and Obama doesn’t. He doesn’t have a clue about what fuels the spirit of the constitutional flag waving American. That fact will shine like a lighthouse beacon and hopefully we can put this short era when we almost lost America behind us.
I do believe Paul is 100% a constitutionalist. His ideals are what we need to work toward – but that intails changing the mind of America as a whole. We cannot go from one extreme to the other in one fell swoop.
Paul has spent years and years in Congress and passed one bll. He can’t get anyone to work with him and he won’t as President either. He’ll be blocked at every move. That won’t do us any good. Newt has helped getting a balanced budget passed, had the republcans and democrats working together for the good of the whole party before and he can do it again. All we need for the next four is undoing what Obama has used to cripple and stagnate this country. Ours guns and religion are under fire as we speak and Newt, today, believes as most of us do – quit using his old record against him – he has changed his beliefs. He is the only one who can ask Obama questions in a debate that Obama can’t answer because Obama knows nothing about America and what we believe or why we believe it. Being the best at debates is the only thing we have in our arsenal at the moment. Our main objective at the moment is gettin Obama out!
Yep. The man who got the nickname “Dr. No” in the House of Representatives – because he refused the “go along to get along” corruption so commonplace among his fellow Republicans – is absolutely certain to become “President Veto” once he’s gotten the Oval Office disinfected and wiped our Mombasa Messiah’s footprints off the Resolute desk.
Then, bubbie, he’ll be blocking unconstitutional federal corruption “at every move,” and the President of these United States most certainly has that ability. Indeed, he has that duty.
Besides, there’s the wonderful accumulation of unrestricted presidential power (“Stroke of the pen, law of the land; kinda neat”) accruing as the result of the congressional establishment’s spinelessness over the past seven decades, including what will be Dr. Paul’s effectively complete control of the bloated federal Executive branch.
Ron Paul can simply shut down five departments of that Executive branch and eliminate their Cabinet posts completely the moment he takes office. Any president can, and every president should have done so.
And yet do we hear anything from Newt-for-Sale (who claims – Whoopee! – to have “changed his beliefs“) indicating that he’s making such a promise? How ’bout the Ayatollah Santorum, or the fat cats’ anointed “frontrunner,” Willard Mittney?
Yep, former compromiser Newt Gingrich – who’s had more than enough chance to grow a backbone throughout his long and sordid career in government and as an “adviser” to Freddie Mac – has suddenly come out of the closet claiming to be a Born Again conservative, faithful to the Constitution and committed forevermore to keeping his promises.
Just like he’s kept his marriage vows.
Oops.
Dr No – isn’t that cute. You don’t think Obama will find those letters and those with his name on them whether he wrote them or not? Racist pig swill. You missed the big point. He’s extreme right and won’t be elected. Period. We don’t like Obama doing as he pleases, and you say we are supposed to be happy if Paul does it? Congress makes the laws – not the president. All he can do is agree or veto.
Newt will get back on track and speak about how he will bring this conservative party together again. I hope he does. If he doesn’t then all we have left is voting for Romney. Santorum will fall soon from the flavor of the month. We need each and every vote to beat Obama, The only thing I see that marks Newt from the others is his skill at debate – when everyone will be listening. Our only hope. Once we get Obama out, we the people can get to work – we lived through 4 years of Obama and we can live through 4 years of at least a man who is on our side.
