White House hopeful Newt Gingrich called the House Republican plan for Medicare "right-wing social engineering," injecting a discordant GOP voice into the party's efforts to reshape both entitlements and the broader budget debate.
In the same interview Sunday, on NBC's "Meet the Press," Mr. Gingrich backed a requirement that all Americans buy health insurance, complicating a Republican line of attack on President Barack Obama's health law.
The former House speaker's decision to stick with his previous support for an individual mandate comes days after former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney defended the health revamp he championed as governor, which includes a mandate.

If he’s looking for the stupid vote, he needs to run as Democrat.
The more I listen to Newt - the more I like Herman Cain.
Bye-bye Newt!
Good to see that noot was never serious about running.
That picture is all we need to know about Newt.
The idea if an individual mandate is so against everything we stand for - and it is unconstitutional. How can he come off supporting this nonsense? Whose vote does he think he is going to get with this? About as dumb as the climate change crap.
Sorry, Newt. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Not anymore.
T Paw or Daniels better go to some Carnegie Mellon courses on effective speaking and take charge of this party or we are doomed!
Bye-bye, Newty
I’m gonna miss you so
Bye-bye, Newty
Why’d you have to go?
(1) Newt is responding to questions from a KNOWN Leftwingtard ~ and he is asking questions that he knows are going to trip Newt (or anybody else) up because any conceivable answer needs to respond to both prior proposals in Congress as well as with current brief discussions of the same matter. That’s pretty difficult so the consequence is you get a Republican answering a question that will PO certain self-styled conservatives.
(2)We have already been through this sort of thing earlier (for years and years) with the Leftwingtards. Adults need to always totally discount whatever the Leftwingtards have tried to elicit and turn instead to the written record or well known accomplishments of the person who was interviewed.
There is only one answer to any question about Obamacare. That answer is “repeal.” If that is NOT the candidates’ answer then that candidate has removed themselves from the race.
I think his campaign is going to die a very quick death due to: (1) lack of money and (2) interest. Of the two, money will be the killer.
I don’t agree with everything Newt says, including this bit about health insurance, but...
Huckabee is out, now which serious candidate is left besides Newt who is willing to stand up and proclaim America to be the Christian Nation that our Founders intended?
It seems like too many so-called conservatives would rather worry about what’s in our Nation’s wallet than what’s in its heart!
That's a terribly offensive remark you should be totally ashamed of. You've insulted all dogs by calling Pelousy, a vastly inferior and truly vile creature, a dog. Your FR posting privileges should be suspended until you publish a profound apology to all dogs.
Newt addressed a position he took 17 years go and not the Ryan proposal of today.
Newt: You need US.
We DON’T need you.
Yer done.
Wow. Talk about dropping a turd in the punchbowl! That little baby is going to be floating there in full view till he announces his withdrawl from the race.

“Newt is brainwashed. Like me.”
This is a pathetic quote from Newt in that article:
Gingrich's man-crush on Bill Clinton made him falter in legislative negotiations with the former president.
"I melt when I'm around him," Gingrich purred in January 1996. After I get out, I need two hours to detoxify. My people are nervous about me going in there because of the way I deal with this."
Hurl!
You mean simply telling people they have right to make their own medical decisions without bureaucrats involved means that I'm controlling their brain?
Freedom is slavery now?
God I can’t stand these politicians! Get lost Newt!
So in other words, Newt got P3WND by Gregory and completely accepted his premises.
