Romney Taunts Chinese Moon Landing Plans

On the campaign trail in Florida – home of the Space Coast – Monday, Romney taunted Chinese plans to land an unmanned probe on the on the moon in 2013. Romney:

“This is still the greatest nation on earth. I know there are people around the world who are always critical of America, have something negative to say, say our greatest days are in the past. Baloney. We just won more Olympic medals than any other nation on Earth. You also just saw we just landed on Mars and took a good look at what’s going on there. And I know the Chinese are planning on going to the Moon and I hope they have a good experience doing that and I hope they stop in and take a look at our flag that was put there 43 years ago.“

Romney is severely clownish.

The USS Wisconsin: YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT.

1. Well, that oughta play well with the childish, stupid base of the republican party.

Why not just stick your tongue out at them?

3. Mitt is

running around pushing his "build that" lie and takes every opportunity to step all over his message.

I mean, moon landing: Democratic President, huge government program, innovation. Mitt, you and your vulture capital buddies didn't build that.

Next he'll be taunting the Chinese for high-speed rail...wait, never mind.

2. As if he wouldn't outsource NASA in a heartbeat

4. +1

5. You know, all nations benefit from space exploration.

We should appreciate other countries' contributions, not mock them.

7. Absolutely, and "diplomacy" or lack of same is large with this one..n/t

6. "Neener neener!" What an embarrassing assclown.

8. They'll be there before we get back. Our focus is on Mars now.

The moon makes more sense if we want permanent space bases.
