Just saw a headline very recently on China and space warfare. Didn’t read it, but get the picture, so enough said against Newt’s remarks on space exploration, I’m certain.

It’s amazing what Newt “gets”! To repeat, also, Newt said NASA’s future would be funded 80%-90% with private money.

This mind and intellect of his just can not be relegated to the ash heap of politics, rent by socialist contenders and Marxists fighting for take-over of America. Can it?

No, nor should it. I keep returning over and over again to how often a leader, no matter how improbable, appears when a nation in trouble needs one.

Newt Gingrich is our Sir Winston Churchill. Neither man was/is perfect, both have been deemed ‘mad’ by opponents and supporters alike. We need a true leader, and one with ideas, willing to listen to possible solutions even those proposals not his own.

“Never, never, never, never give up!”

I don't have a problem with generic "remarks" on space exploration". I have a problem with a very specific promise of a very specific event -- a permanent lunar colony -- occuring by a specific date.

Either 1) it's an empty promise because he can't guarantee that private enterprise will put up the hundreds of billions necessary, and complete it in that time frame, or 2) it's a promise he is going to ensure is fulfilled via hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars.

Those are the only two options, and neither is something I want to hear from the candidate I support.
