CNN has a live video feed here, for tonight’s encore performance of the GOP’s Florida Clown Car.

como tú lo desees y hacia donde tú quieras.
Márcame mi camino en tu arco de esperanza
y soltaré en delirio mi bandada de flechas.
En torno a mí estoy viendo tu cintura de niebla
y tu silencio acosa mis horas perseguidas,
y eres tú con tus brazos de piedra transparente
donde mis besos anclan y mi húmeda ansia anida.
Ah tu voz misteriosa que el amor tiñe y dobla
en el atardecer resonante y muriendo!
Así en horas profundas sobre los campos he visto
doblarse las espigas en la boca del viento.

Ah Vastness of Pines
Ah vastness of pines, murmur of waves breaking,
slow play of lights, solitary bell,
twilight falling in your eyes, toy doll,
earthly shell, in you the earth sings!
In you the rivers sing and my soul flees in them
as you desire, and you send it where you will.
Aim my road on your bow of hope
and in a frenzy I will free my flock of arrows.
All around me I see your waist of fog,
and your silence hunts down my tormented hours;
my kisses anchor, and my moist desire nests
in you with your arms of transparent stone.
Ah your mysterious voice that love tolls and deepens
in the resonant and dying evening!
Thus in the long hours I have seen, over the fields,
the ears of wheat tolling in the mouth of the wind.
Twenty love poems and a song of despair - Pablo Neruda, 1924

Private sector only invests in things it thinks can become profitable, Newt. And whether you wish to acknowledge it or not, right now, getting to the Moon is not seen as profitable. That's why, after the Apollo program ended, the private sector gave up on space except for satellites.
You want to set men on the Moon, then that's going to require an enormous amount of government spending and sponsorship. The Apollo Program wasn't funded by Boeing.

Factory jobs, which have been shrinking as a share of total U.S. employment since the early 1950s, remain 2 million below their pre-recession level. Obama’s election-year plan “to bring manufacturing back” -- as well as a rival House Republican package that would reduce taxes and prune regulations -- fly in the face of structural changes that inexorably lower employment in goods-producing industries.

Except you could not repeal the ACA in one fell swoop, you'd have to remove it in bits and pieces, which would just cause a great deal of confusion and drive insurance premiums through the roof in order to compensate. Even if Mitt tries to use reconciliation, as he's promised, there's still much of the ACA that don't rely upon the budget and thus couldn't be gotten rid of in that manner.

Private sector only invests in things it thinks can become profitable, Newt. And whether you wish to acknowledge it or not, right now, getting to the Moon is not seen as profitable. That's why, after the Apollo program ended, the private sector gave up on space except for satellites.
You want to set men on the Moon, then that's going to require an enormous amount of government spending and sponsorship. The Apollo Program wasn't funded by Boeing.
