  • The space program was responsible for the development of many common items we have today..

  • How is having a base on the moon on the moon gonna help anybody? This is so lame and pathetic!

  • The guy who pay the Lions would win.

  • @SuperGuerreroXY Tell me where in this clip it said anything about lions.

  • We spend $100's of billions for useless Military bases all over the world, including Afghanistan. We should use the money for a Moon base.

  • 7 people aren't going to the moon xD

  • Score 1 for Mitt on that exchange with the serial adulterer. However, if Romney just learns to keep his comments to a minimum, both in debates & on the road, he only helps himself. We all now know that Romney is VERY clumsy when he has to think on his feet.

  • let the chinese dominate space!

  • Newt wouls abandon the moon colony like he abandoned his first wife.

  • As NASA has frittered away Billions of dollars on the space station, giving other countries money to build pieces of it and putting their name on it. Boasting about a new space vehicle the prototype of which burned to the ground. Reverting back to capsules and retiring the shuttle, it seems that our once impressive space program has become almost an embarrassment. I think they need an injection of enthusiasm, as do we about it. Injecting money into the space program would create jobs. GO NEWT!!

  • dumb and dumberrrrr.

  • Romney hasn't heard of 'H3'.

  • This was solid Gold...

  • Who is going to pay for it?

  • People can't live on the moon. No atmosphere.

  • @KiNGKoDeCKS - they will build pressured living quarters and work shops, like the lunar lander, but on a much larger scale. And when they need to go outside, they will wear space suits like they did on the Apollo Mission, but probably greatly improved due to advanced materials engineering that we have today. Think carbon fiber.

  • @HomewardBoundJournal That is not what I meant by "no atmosphere". Atmosphere acts as a shield. Why do you think the moon is filled with craters. Space debris hits it hard. They'd have to spend billions to repair Gingrich Moon Base 01 every month. People can't stay permanently in less than Earth gravity. Gingrich was talking a permanent place to live on the moon. Also why go to the moon? Nothing there.

  • America is trying to lower its debt but now Newt Gingrich is mentioning that he wants a colony on the moon? That will put the U.S. into even more debt.

    RON PAUL 2012!

    -From Iceland

  • @ICELAND989 - the idea is to create jobs, and give America a sense of unified direction, something to look up to. The technology that is developed in this effort will spin off and create more jobs and expanding markets, which produces more tax revenues, which will help us pay down our debt.

  • The moon people aren't going to like this.

  • He said the right things but unfortunately for him he was studdering the whole way through. By the way, how would going to the moon make the US a great country? Go to New Orleans first.

  • A huge financial crisis, a whole country packed of homeless people, a shitty health care system.....and they dare to argue about settling down a colony on the moon? Dudes, please.....first things first

  • Fuck both these sellouts 

  • A wild Mitt Romney has appeared!

  • hmmm..didn't obama promise something too about going to the moon during his term? but the only one i hear ever speak about the REAL problem why we can't do these things is Dr.Ron Paul. please PLEASE just vote for him.it really is in your best interest.

  • This was a gotcha moment, fourth, because you have two men, side by side, giving excellent expressions of their core beliefs. And the American people, when they listen to this, they will chose Gingrich over Romney. Gingrich is presenting a solid belief from the heart. And that belief is clearly good for America. Romney is expressing his accountants point of view, and while accountants are important, we don’t elect them to be our Presidents.

  • @HomewardBoundJournal if you solidly believe from your heart that we can build a moon colony in the midst of a $13 trillion debt hole, near 10% unemployment, and record millions of foreclosures uprooting millions upon millions of families, then i dare your ass to be my president

  • @brownandripped, WITH God, all things are possible.

  • This was a gotcha moment, third, because Gingrich exposed Romney as an individual who is so narrow minded that he is incapable of understanding that he gave Democrats something they can use against him in the fall election. As Democrats are very sensitive to the legacy of JFK, they will attack a Republican for trashing that legacy. Indeed, Romney just said that if JFK came into office with such an idea, he would fire JFK. This was part of the vision JFK gave to justify the expense.

  • This was a gotcha moment, second, because Gingrich exposed Romney as an individual with no appreciation for the fact that he just stepped on America's love for JFK, whose vision gave America an eternal source of pride in having reached the moon.

  • I think this was a gotcha moment, first, because Gingrich exposed Romney as a very shallow bean counter kind of individual with no vision, and most importantly, no appreciation for America's past accomplishments.

  • If we get another Republican in office we'll end up with another Bush besides most of the candidates are Racist, crazy, or in favor of raising taxes for the middle class while lowering it for the Rich besides non of them have any experience being President now is not the time for being President not when we are in the in between of recession and recovery and not when more money is finally being given to education please people don't fall for the Republican propaganda

  • @rhymenoceros3303 I listen to you when you get your grammar straight.

  • Comment removed

  • The funny thing is, it's illegal. :)

  • PAGE 2: called the moon?...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 271) He mock GINGRICH. Romney is who has been adherent of wanting to go to the moon.

  • Hypocrite ROMNEY Romney, who serves as a BISHOP MORMON. IT IS is Romney who has been a lifetime adherent of wanting to go to the moon.

    Here is what Romney's cult teaches about the moon: President Brigham Young not only taught the moon was inhabited, but the SUN as well. In a sermon delivered in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, President Young made these unbelievable statements: "Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?.

  • @riaparedes

    You're a freaking idiot. Go back to the hole you came from you hate spewing anti-mormon..

  • When i first heard that Newt wanted to go to the moon, i thought he has to be kidding.... apparently not. How are you going to fund that big of program without raising taxes? Obviously this candidate doesn't know how to manage spending so he lost my vote.

  • Holy sh*t. I just agreed with Mitt Romney.

  • @SuperKitttycat I know, weird moment.

  • Newt executes the Destruct Sequence on his campaign efforts. Pretty simple really.

  • What happens to that executive, to his 401k and his family?

    How does he find another job as he is branded?

    What about the years of work and education and money he invested in himself to be qualified to be one of your executives?

    Could Mr Romney have said something like "We need to be realistic in our plan to get this economy back on track and a moon base is just not a good idea when we have so many Americans out of work."

    What do you think? Is this a little to Scrooge to be President?

  • @YOUR1MINUTE he was obviously making a point. I hate him, but dont be such an idiot

  • I think it's a great idea. Just send the guy up there himself and let him stay.

  • the best part of this video is seeing Ron Paul in the background.

  • As much as I love the Idea, I think Newt is just trying to win votes in California. Going to the moon is not a Bad Idea and could be very profitable. However the US government does not have the money for such an endeavor.

  • hahaha all of these republican candidates are pathetic

  • What is wrong with inspiring the youth of this nation to learn science and math in order to think big about their futures? Anyone who votes for non-idea-romney is telling future generations to give up, it's too hard!!! Mitt Romney is a proven liar and does not inspire anyone!!! Newt 2012

  • @ningygamer He's not saying it's too; he's saying it's incredibly stupid. The fact he has to explain to the american public why building a moon base is a bad idea is quite sad in itself.

  • @TheBitable So explain!!! Explain, why it's "incredibly stupid" to inspire children to get interested in math and science and to dream BIG. And one more thing, if Newt is saying if elected he could potentionally and economically get us there and romney says we can't, what does that say about their economic plans. I prefer the big man with the big ideas and not the little weak vanilla icecream liar that romney is.

  • Exactly who is going to pay for this? That's right, he doesn't want to make the education cheaper and available to all, he wants to squander your tax dollars putting a colony on a dust ball in space! The US infrastructure is crumbling and putting tax dollars into that is wasteful and an expansion of government BUT BUILDING A MOON BASE ISN'T? Gingrich is a "Lunar tick." That's the trouble when you believe that men can be born of virgins and come back from the dead. 51st state my ass. He's a nut.

  • Gingrich is actually talking about Moon, Virginia IMO....

    Either way it is a moronic idea to have a moon colony since we do not have the technology nor the scientific understanding to do it yet.

    For one thing, there are very difficult objectives to achieve for a moon colony. One is resources such as water, salt, oxygen, and enough energy for consumption. Secondly, the moon is not protected by an atmosphere, so asteroids and radiations are deadly for the people living there.

  • What do we care if China puts an astronaut on the moon? We did, and what did it accomplish other than pride. We have more than enough of that already.

  • Newt now should have a new name..."SPEAKER MOONBEAM". HE IS AS CRAZY AS GOV. MOONBEAM...JERRY BROWN OF CALIFORNIA.

  • So President Gingrich is going to go to China and say "We want to beat you in the Space Race but we need a trillion dollars to do it ... can you lend us the money ?" .

  • @camtinley LOL. That is hilarious. Too bad Mitt didn't think of that response

  • @camtinley Or how bout he says 'We have a really spiffy design for a rocket but we need someone to build it for us'

  • @camtinley I like your comment

  • @camtinley lol

  • Both candidates miss the point about colonizing the Moon. We already have the tech to use Helium 3 as a very efficient form of energy. It is so efficient that one "box car" full of HE3 can power the USA for one year. The problem is the only place we can find it in abundance is on the Moon. No corp has the capital to set up this op. Only a major gov would be able to accomplish this task. It wound make fossil fuels obsolete. That is why Russia and China are playing this card so aggressively.

  • Mitt just lost the moon vote

  • @swankrecords Bwaaaaaahahaaaaaaaaa!

  • @swankrecords Pretty big deal since the Moon is probably going to be a swing state :P

  • The reality is that RARE EARTH METALS orbit our EARTH! being able to mine those metals will make the first company or country rich beyond any imaginable mining project on earth. Newt and the GOP are idiots hands down.

  • Mitt Romney is a phony. He changes his personality every debate. Now he's Mr. Tough Guy. 

    LOL

  • @1990osu Sometimes it takes awhile for someone to finally stand up on their hind legs. I 'm a Democrat but I really liked the Mitt I saw tonight. No more "mittens" he's Mitt now.

  • Shut up Mitt. We want our moon colony and we want it NOW.

  • I don't know what newt was thinking with the moon shit anyway

  • What the hell are they even talking about? Who gives a $#@& about colonies on the moon or their ex-wives or who was Reagan's bff? Can they just talk about policy for more than 5 minutes of these friggin debates. This is so ridiculous. MTV should be hosting these debates...

  • That was hilarious. good job Mitt!

  • NEWT, got the shit slap out of him. his head is still spinning

  • mitt romney is just stupid.

  • @Countrymusicnumber1

    lol. You realize he graduated from Harvard Business School top 5% in his class and at THE SAME TIME cum laude from Harvard Law School. It's probably more likely that he is too smart for you to understand.

  • @cjdean9 THANK YOU!!!!

  • @cjdean9 maybe he is smart... but he is also a evil nwo cunt/flippflopper.

  • @cjdean9 you tell 'em CJ!!! THANK YOU!!!
