The Moon People are all the republican rinos that vote with the democrats against the wishes of the republican Tea Party base and thinking they are wiser than Tea Partiers when in actuality it's the republican rinos that helped the communist democrats crash the economy because the republican rinos are indeed dense and did not do anything to stop the democrats from getting as far as they did. Newt Gingrich did indeed state he wanted to start a "Moon Colony" and make it a state???? This statement is somewhat over the top for someone that was running for president and concentrating on "Moon States" rather than the tasks at hand.
Newt is a "Rino Republican" and since he was present when Bill Clinton first started to crash the U.S. economy and didn't do anything to stop the democratic turn to a communist state he gets to be leader of the "Republican Rino Moon People" and so as it should be the republican rinos get to be the first of Newts, "MOON PEOPLE". Since all these rino republicans step in Newts footsteps and do the stupidest things that put U.S. citizens in hardship it's befitting that they plant their flags in Newts moon colony.

Gingrich pledges moon colony during presidency
"I was attacked the other night for being grandiose," Gingrich said. "I would just want you to note: Lincoln standing at Council Bluffs was grandiose. The Wright Brothers standing at Kitty Hawk were grandiose. John F. Kennedy was grandiose. I accept the charge that I am grandiose and that Americans are instinctively grandiose."
The line drew raucous applause from a crowd of at least 500 in a hotel ballroom here, as did Gingrich's lengthy riff on his fascination with space travel. His interest goes back to his early youth, when he read Missiles and Rockets magazine and obsessed over the Soviet Sputnik program. He also proclaimed that the "weirdest thing" he ever did in Congress was to introduce a "Northwest Ordinance for space" that would allow a moon colony to become a state once 13,000 lived there.
(Asked afterward by a reporter when the moon-state would hold its presidential primary, Gingrich said, "I think the moon primary would probably come late in the season."
"Here's the difference between so-called romantics and practical people," Gingrich said during his address. "I want every single young American to say to themselves, I could become one of those 13,000, I can be part of building a bigger, better future, be part of a generation of courageous people who do something big and bold. We want Americans to think bolder about space and rebuild the country we love."
That last line drew a thunderous applause and drew the room to its feet.
Lest anyone think that Gingrich wants government to grow in order to launch these new programs, he proposed setting aside 10 percent of NASA's budget for prizes to be awarded for the innovations that lead to the moon and Mars. He also promised to scrutinize the NASA bureaucracy and billion-dollar programs that don't produce results.
"If they have as many bureaucrats now, when they're not launching, as they had when they were launching, you really have to ask: What it is they do? I think this is a very serious problem. We have a huge Washington bureaucracy that thinks. We actually need a lot more doing."
Gingrich also said that exploration of the moon and beyond would have far-reaching commercial applications. He talked of "commercial, near-earth activities" including science, tourism and manufacturing. He even went on an extended riff on improving the technology of synthetic materials used in airliners ("I want to pour synthetics — actually they wrap it. It's very strange").
"Look," Gingrich said. "Without getting into Heinlein’s novels, I think there are a lot of different things you'd want to learn: How to live in low gravity. How to create certain capabilities that lead beyond the moon. How to develop assets that the moon has. How to do manufacturing in low-gravity environments.
