"By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American." - Newt Skywalker

"Does that mean I'm visionary? You betcha." - Newt Palin

Fellow candidates panned the plan because it would cost an insane amount of money. But not only is Newt's plan for lunar statehood completely insane, it's also against the law! Not just any law, but Outer Space Law, the most powerful of all laws, because it comes from, you know, Outer Space.

Gingrich introduced a bill in Congress in 1981 that would offer a path to statehood for a lunar colony of 20,000 residents. His plan for an emphatically American moon colony and resultant 51st Moon State violates the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which was signed into law by the USSR, UK, and USA. In 1967, the worry was putting nukes on the moon pointed at Moscow or Washington. Now it's harshing Newt's Pink Floyd Droid buzz.

What's funny is, people take Newt seriously, a man who says certifiably crazy stuff like, 'Give me eight years and I'll give you a permanent American moon base,' yet these same people say Ron Paul is a kook. Go figure.

Paul had the best answer on this in the debate. If Newt gets it built, we could then send all the politicians there.

Our people-groups who can't/won't assimilate with the rest of the planet and lash out violently. Somewhere where they can't hurt anybody but themselves. You know, if there are or ever will be such groups. But with population spiking, supposed to add another couple billion by 2050, humanity has to get off this rock and stretch out. We have to start somewhere.

You really should use that "roll-eyes" emoticon or some other symbol to show your sarcasm.

You don't really believe that anyone believes that one do you? Come on, really? I believe it as much as when Obama said he would NOT allow Mexican trucks into the US.

To whom are you referring to?


I don't remember. Any way, no REAL person would REALLY believe this one! Come on!

A moon colony is harder to buy than Obama saying he "respects" hunters!

How can you tell a politician is lying? His/Her/It's lips are moving! How can you tell Obama is lying? He is breathing!

I commend you for proper use of whom versus who. However, then adding another to at the end is redundant; the to at the beginning of the sentence is the only one that belongs there.

You know, I think we'll have everybody up to speed on grammar pretty quick.

why wait. send them up with hammers and nails.

Saw this on a other forum I visit..

Suggested bumper sticker for Newt: Sure Newt’s an a-hole, but everyone needs an a-hole to eliminate waste.

But in reality, all he would do is create waste. But he is an a-hole. Afterall, he's full of shlavaka.
