Santorum adviser John Brabender said an ad will be running on national satellite radio, along with another, spot already airing that casts Santorum as a stronger conservative choice than Gingrich. The idea is to criticize Gingrich for proposing fiscally irresponsible, pie-in-the-sky ideas when base GOP voters are deeply concerned about the deficit.
Were putting an ad up today addressing Newt Gingrichs comments on the moon colony idea, which has been estimated at half a trillion dollars to build what he wants to do, Brabender said
Newt has NEVER said that the idea will be accomplished with public money, but that he counted to enroll private companies to achieve a great program and not leave the space to the Chinese and Russians who are heavily investing in it.
Santorum possesses a petty mind.
Watch Newt Gingrich speech at a town hall discussion in Cocoa, Florida, south of Cape Canaveral. He discussed his policy on the future of the U.S. space program. January 25

“Newt has NEVER said that the idea will be accomplished with public money, but that he counted to enroll private companies to achieve a great program and not leave the space to the Chinese and Russians who are heavily investing in it. “
And why in the world would private companies want to take on something that will cost a half trillion dollars with no potential of making any profit?
If you really want to compete with the Chinese, we could start by not owing them so much money.
