Next Stop, Mars

As Ron Paul says that Iran isn't a threat (during the debate), a commenter at Red State writes this:

Comment From None of the Above
If Newt is successful in colonizing the moon, Paul will finally be successful in his quest for a presidency...they'll need a leader up there.

I thought maybe Romney had one-upped the spending bidding to colonizing Europa!

Just like Saddam was a grave threat to us.

Ron Paul is already on Mars...

Quin is just P.O.ed cause Scamtorum looked like the hypocrite he is. I'm sure we can believe he will repeal what he helped pass.

Almost as funny as watching 3 big government Republicans attack each other for being big government Republicans. With Paul marginalized all we can know at this point is that the State is going to get a lot bigger after Nov.

When the global minimum tax is passed does the Moon become a tax haven?

Nock| 2.23.12 @ 9:35AM

Ron Paul is right. The lesson of history is that bankrupt states do not remain great imperial powers for long.

How about some balance?

I am not a neocon (which itself is a stupid term, about 30 years out of date). I've been a conservative since before the term neoconservative was invented.

aware| 2.23.12 @ 1:10PM

Then why would it be easy to make the mistake?

Oldefarte| 2.23.12 @ 2:23PM

The only 'mistake' is your possibly confusing TAS with your Batman comic book perhaps!!!!!!

Oldefarte| 2.23.12 @ 2:21PM

TAS is NOT a comic book....sorry!!!!
