Ground Control to Newt: That’s a Negative on Shiny New Moon Colony

Newt Gingrich's moon colony should be grounded, according to a new poll of GOP voters.

The Hill, a Washington, D.C.-based newspaper, is reporting that Newt Gingrichs moon colony has a long way to go before it meets with voters' approval. The Hill poll reveals 64 percent of Republicans disapprove of the United States building a permanent base on the moon. Only 21 percent of GOP voters favor the idea.

Continuing their distaste for all things Newt, women --most of all --scoffed at the idea, with only 14 percent approving of the colony.
