Pledging Permanent Moon Bases By End of Second Term

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/289295/gingrich-lets-make-moon-state-katrina-trinko

Campaigning in Florida today, Newt Gingrich said, per BuzzFeed, “When they have 13,000 Americans living on the moon, they can petition to become a state.”
“By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American,” Gingrich added.

Was this supposed to be a joke?

He's nuts.

PS: For anyone that doesn't know anything about this. It takes a couple of years to prepare such things, oooh and a couple trillions but I guess 'Ole Newt would ask Mr Fed Chairman for some lubrication of the printing press.

true

 

[Kords21]

Getting a little ahead of himself isn't he? He has to win a first term first, which I don't see happening even if he were to get the GOP nomination.

He will have some private property issues to deal with. The current inhabitants probably won't take kindly to the idea nor the presence.

By the end of his second term he'll be ice skating in Hell.

Second term? Dude's one doughnut away from a massive heart attack....though I suppose if he's appropriately evil enough, the powers that be could just replace his alleged heart with some sort of mechanical device--Cheney style.

DC has 600k people. Why can't they become a state?

Was that article in National Review or the Onion?

It's getting difficult to determine what's reality in this race anymore.

Why isn't this front page news that Gingrich wants a country 17 trillion in debt to build a moon base?
