OMG Mitt destroyed Newt

 

[Lord Xar]

The "massaging" of Ron is because - if you notice - once they start doing that, he gets complacent and defanged. His "fire" is contained. Ron gets calm and complacent when he feels the others are "getting it". They are manipulating him. They understand Ron doesn't like to attack. By placating him, they are defanging him.

 

[NC5Paul]

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH BOMB!

 

[Feelgood]

WOOT!!! You stretched it a bit!

Newt agreed with Paul that the private sector should fund it. Romney ripped on them both for saying that wealthy corporations will not want to spend hundreds of billions to make colonies on the moon and he would fire anyone that suggested that in one of his companies.

there are already private plans in the works. Not to 'moon colonies' but space.

Yes, and we should have socialist universal healthcare, universal free pre-K- Doctoral education, guaranteed minimum income, one free annual flight to the moon for each person. Because the proper role of the federal government is to collect taxes and then pay for every government program that could benefit our species.

If you consider federal funding of space exploration to be a priority or even an allowed function of our government at all, I really don't know where you stop with that or where your principles lie.

 

[Aratus]

paul said we should send some politicians to the moon and got applause

[Paulistinian]
