Romney: Neil Armstrong ‘Takes His Place In The Hall Of Heroes’

Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney on Saturday issued a statement regarding the death of American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.

Neil Armstrong today takes his place in the hall of heroes. With courage unmeasured and unbounded love for his country, he walked where man had never walked before. The moon will miss its first son of earth.

I met and spoke with Neil Armstrong just a few weeks ago--his passion for space, science and discovery, and his devotion to America will inspire me through my lifetime.

1. I think I am going to be ill--that this cartoon cutout with his hatred, his ignorance, would even

dare speak of armstrong, is sickening (and isn't part of the puke platform to get rid of NASA?)

oh, by the way, mittwit, he "passed into the hall of heroes" on 20 July 1969--if you even know what that date means.

2. And the Hall of Zeroes is holding a niche open for you, Rmoney.

It'll be all ready for you to step into on November 7th.

That tortured notion could only have been written my Mitt himself. While everyone else sees things from our earthly perspective, trust Mitt to anthropomorphize the moon and feel ITS pain.

7. Geez,

I was waiting for someone to point that out.

Weird Willard strikes again.

12. I'll bet the "earth" is pretty upset.

Rmoney didn't know to capitalize the first letter of its name.

Something needs to be done with Amercian education system.

6. and that's why I'm privatizing space... oh wait

save that for after the election

9. This, from a man who probably knows (and cares) less about science than my cats.

Oh, and somebody needs to remind the teabaggers and Rmoneyites and Paulites that the space program was and is a project of BIG GOVERNMENT. We The People demanded it, and paid for it gladly with our taxes.

11. This cat begs to differ...

10. ...and added, "but the moon is still no Kolob" before baptizing the dead Armstrong as a Mormon
