Gingrich: 'You can't have a purely right-wing majority' Posted: October 26th, 2009 12:03 PM ET
From CNN Radio's Bob Constantini
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has taken considerable heat from conservative activists for endorsing Republican Dede Scozzafava over Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman in next month's special congressional election in New York.
But Gingrich is defending his approach to re-building the Republican Party. It begins, he said, by accommodating those who might disagree with you.
"Both parties have to recognize, you can create a center-right majority in America, which we did with Reagan in '80 and we did it again with the 'Contract with America' in '94," Gingrich said in an interview with CNN Radio. "You can't have a purely right-wing majority; you can't have a purely left-wing majority."
The former speaker claimed that Democrats are doing their part to help the GOP by promoting a liberal ideology. "Today, the Democrats are moving toward a secular-socialist model that is guaranteed minority in America," he said.

Newt is delusional
you can’t have a purely left majority...yet that’s what we somehow have!
You’ve slipped off the tracks of sanity Newt. You are dead to me now.
Goodbye Newt...It it used to be nice knowing ya.
Keep talking Newt. You’re as good a salesman for The Conservative cause as BO is for the gun and ammo industries.
Sort of like the Liberals do huh Newt?
Newt is toast ... well, actually has been for several years now...
Newt is, and always has been, a self-serving, sniveling little suck-up. Read what he wrote of being over-awed by Bill Clinton (if you have a strong enough stomach). The Contract with America was an aberration — albeit, a brilliant one.
That may be true, Newt, but why race to the left, then?

And a purely right-wing majority could minimize the Damage the 111th Congress has done with Obama
Shove it, Newt.
Go away. Marry the McCain bimbo. Do anything - except dream that any conservative gives an Obama about our thoughts.
I have news for you, Newt. Dede Scozzafara is NOT “center right.” Or even “center.” Or even “slightly left.”
She is a flaming leftist, pervert baby killer.
OK? You get that?
No, I’m afraid not, because you could care less about innocent lives or healthy families. You don’t even know what we’re talking about.
Sorry Newt, you’re wrong on this one - and I sent $$ to Doug Hoffman instead of the NRCC, so don’t even ask me.
Epic fail for noot.
And he has fallen prey to the PC Nazis on the left and in the media who refer to this/us as right wing instead of a more accurate description: CONSERVATIVE.
STOP LETTING THEM DEFINE THE NARRATIVE AND THE VOCABULARY.
The tea parties are about conservatism, so was Ronald Reagan, and so is Sarah Palin. Enough with this “right wing” BS. The left is labelling us, and inaccurately so.

OOps, that’s “...conservatives give an Obama about YOUR thoughts...”
