How much is that doggy in the window, Uncle Newt?

So Newt has proposed building a permanently manned space station on the moon by 2020 without busting the federal budget. I hear he has promised me, personally, that he will pay off my mortgage, make sure my kids are accepted at Harvard, and created a $3 million IRA so I can quit selling houses for a change. He also promised me a second dog since my wife is wishy-washy on a new border collie. Thanks Newt, you’re a helluva guy. I imagined how some of the other major political players might react to the lunar lander idea.
1) Mitt Romney: A permanent space station on the moon? Great idea! Maybe Bain Capital can outsource more American jobs to the moon so I can make another $100 million bucks.
2) Rick Santorum: A permanent space station on the moon? You mean like with men AND women in it? All right, I guess, but no abortions, no condoms, and no dogs allowed.
3) Ron Paul: A permanent space station on the moon? I can see the damn moon from the back porch of my shotgun shack in Texas. That’s good enough.
4) Rick Perry: A permanent space station on the moon? Why would you want to build that thing on my ass?
5) Barak Obama: A permanent space station on the moon? It is time for this do-nothing congress to show some leadership and accomplish this goal without me. We can’t afford to wait. Unless the congress takes action and leads without me, we will not change anything.
