Gingrich Will Star in Democrats' Anti-Ryan Medicare Attacks
U. S. News ^ | May 19, 2011 | Paul Bedid

By calling Paul Ryan's budget 'radical' and 'right-wing social engineering,' Newt merely echoed criticisms millions of Americans across the political spectrum have voiced at house Republicans' budget for weeks now," says Ryan Rudominer, a Democratic consultant and former spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "So while Gingrich may now have as good a chance as me of winning the Republican nomination, those of us on the left can at least be thankful that he made Paul Ryan's 'radical' budget to gut Medicare and provide billions in tax breaks for big oil companies the new litmus test in the Republican Party," adds Rudominer.

6 1/2 months ago Newt calls us Radicals and Righ-Wingers. Less than a week ago he calls us Inhumane.

I don't get how conservatives can want Newt Gingrich as POTUS with all his recent rheotric, much less his historical progressive behavior while serving in the United States House of Representatives.

Newt's 2nd wife said in an interview that while Newt is loveable, his main motivation in life is to "be somebody".

The 2nd wife wasn't useful enough to Newt to get him where he wants to go, so he married Callista.

Gingrich is primarily power-hungry...his core values vary from day to day.

I would vote for Newt vs. Obama, and would hope that something could be accomplished under him with a GOP House and Senate, but I wish there were better choices in the running.

My first choice would have been Haley Barbour. But he apparently was too "RINO" for the Tea Party crowd. I knew that the hyper-enthusiasm for Bachman, Cain, and Perry on the right would wane...and so it has.

The MSM has about 50 different ads/issues against Newt if he gets the nod.

I would rather have a root canal than vote for Gingrich. He is a slime ball and not a real conservative, as is obvious if someone looks at what he has done since he left Congress.

Newt has core values?

Yeah, but Newt’s affairs and sexual indiscretions are in the past, and he is a super-duper, policy wonk who knows how to play the Washington game.

I am really tired of Politicians playing games with our Country. These life-long Politicians are only looking after themselves and their bank accounts.

I am tired of the hit peaces on Newt here at FreeRepublic. Any one of the Republican candidates hold the USA in highest regards! Enough already. Write your hit pieces about liberals!

I'd rather have a root canal too. (Well, maybe not).

Anyway, sometimes root canals are necessary and it may be necessary for me to vote for Ginrich too even though I really REALLY don't want to.

I still wish Haley Barbour would get in the race. I know he won't, but I still wish.

What is your definition of a hit piece? Newt did call the Ryan Plan a plan of social engineering by Right Wing Radicals. He called Conservatives Inhumane for not wanting to give those that broke our immigration laws some kind of break.

Don’t worry, they are ‘real’ conservatives. The kind that lead to 6-3 liberal judge panels on the supreme court. But hey at least they have their principles!?

I am for real. I like all of the Republicans a whole lot better than Obama. Have you made a "Attack Newt Gingrich Ping List" yet? Might as well make one and make it easier for people to read and say bad things about Republicans.

Actually that was the Wall Street Journal. Have you read the Gingrich immigration plan?

What’s he on his 15 point plan now? He issued in response to backlash to his last Tuesday’s debate.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here. Would you please try again, and I'd be happy to answer any of your questions.

Since you seem to be talking about his immigration proposal, 10 Steps to a Legal Nation, I will point out that he is the only republican candidate who has actually presented a comprehensive solution.
