Comment on Why a Newt Gingrich presidency might help Mississippi by Nick Slade

Actually Ed, Newt’s plan will not add to the federal budget or spend an extra dime on NASA but will use NASA’s existing budget. We would be on the Moon by now if it was not for NASA’s bureaucracy. By reforming NASA by stopping the waste and using the money properly and working with the private sector by using competition with the winners getting huge cash prizes, we can achieve our goals. Newt has brought up how the airplane industry really benefited from such prizes. Also, it is not simply a gimmick, this strategy could also enable a new commercial space-plane industry and fundamentally enhance U.S. national security.

So we need to reduce the federal budget debt and we are going to spend money on a space gimmick.

I didn’t realize that, but I’m certainly not surprised. Only the loons can’t stand Barbour.

@joyce
I don’t know why you think this is a joke…..he has done more for Mississippi than any other Governor we have had, and under a great deal of pressure with all the disasters this state has went thru under his guidance. He is fair, kind, and a family man with great faith…and I for one think that in it’s self means a lot!

This article makes me want to throw up! I sure as hell don’t “admire” Governor Barbour/former Washington lobbyist who got rich off promoting special interests.

The key to this puffy publicity about a puffy guvnah is the last sentence. “Paid for by the Mississippi Republican Party.”

Governor Barbour is a fine southern gentelman….because he does what he promise’s and makes the best decision’s for our state! My son, worked for the Attorney General for about 3 yrs. and worked closely with him. He was there during the Katrina area. He admired our Governor for all the great decisions he made and said what a smart, kind gentelman he is. My Son is now in Aftghanistan…fighting for our freedom, and he loves our country! I wish Governor Barbour would run for President….he would make a fine , smart, and a wonderful leader for our country!!!!!!!!!!!
