I am glad he got off that rich businessman are evil’ stuff. And the Manned-Moon-base stuff was a huge joke and it made him look crazy.
He is at his best when he is making fun of Obama’s stupid ideas. That is when I enjoy watching him.
I don’t believe a word that any of these candidates say when claiming what they will get done But Romney is the WORST liar of them, he is competing with Obama.
Only what Newt was talking about is already happening, and is a major national security concern. Here is just some very general reading on it, there's loads of technical stuff about how China, along with Russia, have major plans for moon occupation... newt also wanted it spawned and supported totally in the private sector for the first time, with only the govt providing prizes, deregulation, and grants that would be repaid...

"Russia is talking with the US and Europe on plans to create a manned research base on the moon, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos said Thursday. Roscosmos is discussing the possibilities for a permanent moon base with officials from NASA and the European Space Agency, the agency's chief, Vladimir Popovkin said.
"We don't want man to just step on the moon," Popovkin told Vesti FM radio station, according to the Ria Novosti news agency. "Today, we know enough about it, we know that there is water in its polar areas ... we are now discussing how to begin [the moon's] exploration with NASA and the European Space Agency."
He said the plan was either to set up a base on the moon or launch a station to orbit around it. Russia also is planning to send two unmanned mission to the moon by 2020, Popovkin said."
