Well, that was my impression

Seems like he’s saying “these idiots will buy anything”. How fooking stupid does he think we are?

His stock has dropped a couple of points with me on this one.

“He’ll say anything to get votes” is one of those comments where everyone who throws that rock is living in a glass house.

“One of Gingrich’s downsides is that he’s a bit too spontaneous.”

In other words, he’ll say anything to get votes. In this case FL space coast voters.

That certainly does sound a lot more “big government project” than the low-key “prize” based concept I linked in an earlier post.

One of Gingrich’s downsides is that he’s a bit too spontaneous.

But let’s keep things in perspective, too. You could pay for NASA’s entire budget 40 times with what the government already spends on health care every year.

Nah. It’s because he was making a speech in Florida before the fla primary. He will probably do the same speech in Texas but nowhere else.
