Newt Gingrich wants to build stations on the moon.
Ron Paul gave a witty retort: send the politicians to the moon. With the way they have run the federal government, the moon will soon run out of moon rocks and atmosphere. Then he responded wisely: space exploration is fantastic, but a private matter entirely.
Why are we investing money in going to the moon or to Mars? What about defending our borders? What about asserting a sound fiscal policy so that we can live in this country, on this planet peaceably?
We do not need to explore space. We need to fill up the vacuum of leadership in Washington that is sucking away our country's future. We need stars who command legislative respect, who will spend less time trying to count the stars and catalogue the planets, who will invest more time keeping government in check and respecting the rights and powers of the states and the people.
