Newt wants moon colonies
Mitten's baptized his dead atheist father-in-law a Mormon
This is going to be a bizarre election season now Newt is attacking Mittens for denying Kosher foods in Nursing Homes
I'm sure he didn't think Mitten's went far enough Newt would have denied them any food at all, especially if they were more tan than him

(24,331 posts)Although I will say, colonizing the moon is the LEAST insane thing Newt Gingrich has said in months.

(16,646 posts)That our system has so devolved, that we don't get a choice at all, unless "bat shit crazy" is considered one of the "choices". wouldn't it be nice if we could actually have a choice between sane positions on the issues of the day?

I am still shaking my head over that.

(7,160 posts)that level of bat-shit crazy now seems sane compared to the ones running these days

(67,190 posts)Depends on who was directly on the receiving end of those bat shit-crazy policies and getting screwed over by them during the 1980's. They probably have quite a different perspective compared to another person who may have been benefiting from them back then. Those people probably hardly noticed it. But the workers who watched their job be moved overseas during that time sure noticed it.
My point is the right wing was just as bat-shit crazy back then as it is now. Only difference is the bat-shit crazy policies they put in place back then have slowly strangled us like a boa constrictor and are now effecting a lot more people in a negative way these days they they were back then. Therefore a lot more people are now paying attention and becoming politically active.
Morning in America has arrived.
That is what I think.
