I’m not ready to fold my cards and surrender. I’m sorry but Newt’s moon colony plan has made him the object of ridicule on my local Scranton talk show for two days now. Rick didn’t put those words in his mouth. Bob

Our 'Conservative Party' is about a 5.5 on the liberal-conservative continuum, with the 'Liberal Party' a 4.0 and the NDP a 3.0. Right now, your GOP 'House' Caucus is about an 7.5 and the GOP 'Senate' Caucus about a 6.5. The choice of your Presidential nominee will determine whether those numbers continue to slide toward liberalism or whether the GOP will become a conservative party.

Interesting stats L.Harbour....thanks...and interesting post...If romeny gets it the social issues will simply slide into the liberal mode ..I believe that...it's not a big step toward that now.

Think it is a bold idea but then again people back in the 60’s had a vision and putting a man on the moon is when people laughed.

As was stated on here earlier, if people think that is a stupid idea then it shows how pathetic people have become in this country when they can’t envision a great feat.

Sadly the establishment, the MSM and some of talk radio who are looking at their own power, money etc are out to get Newt and as Jim R and nearly all have said.
It is is obvious the establishment want Romney and are out to get Newt .
Only a stupid person today can fall for the talking heads propaganda and the lefts attack of making fun of people.

Not saying you but obviously there are some right stupid people still going with the establishment and the MSM.

Look, even if I thought that Newt’s idea was great, which I don’t, I am disgusted by the fact that the derision of Newt is helping Romney. If Newt had talked about the value of continued space exploration, WITHOUT specifically talking about moon colonization, it could have been a plus. But he has left himself wide open. Cordially, Bob

[manc]

I'll agree to disagree with you seeing as you sound alright and not being childish over this. I just see this as a good vision. Anyway the weekend is here, well for me anyway have a good one Bob

Newt’s moon colony plan has made him the object of ridicule on my local Scranton talk show for two days now.

Then that simply proves they have zip-zero understanding about it in the first place. They need to listen to those who know about NASA and as much why "space" remains a frontier. Russia, China and other nations have not lost sight by any means...and they continue to go forward with their programs to "arm" space. As for Moon colonies....it would be to "mine" the resources there for the most part...which all interested nations are investigating

You too Manc!

[Theodore R.]

But do you miss Sandra Day O’Connor sitting up there and voting down the Reagan program time after time? He was warned about her too.

[navymom1]

Amen!

[Revolting cat!]

Still going? Long debate.

[navymom1]

Got a point there!!

Newt was last on the Drudge poll today. It is heavy with Paul bots. I just have fun voting on it. BTW, our lovely Ann Coulter who supports Mittens is a good friend of Matt Drudge.
