Newt Gingrich

I think it would be great to find a way to get every American covered. I think that would be better for the country. Can you do that without a mandate?

Your plan essentially is one more big government, bureaucratic, high-cost system, which candidly could not have been done by any other state because no other state had a Medicare program as lavish as yours, and no other state got as much…

I agree that all of us have a responsibility to help pay for health care. And I think that there are ways to do it that make most libertarians relatively happy. I have said consistently we ought to have some requirement, you either have…

In retrospect, we were wrong, because what happens, once you go to a mandate, you have turned so much power over the government that the politicians rather than the doctors end up defining health care. And so, it was a mistake.

You look at Ron Paul's total record of systemic avoidance of reality, and you look at his newsletters, and then you look at his ads. His ads are about as accurate as his newsletter.

I think Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American.

I think you've got to require everybody to either have insurance or to post a bond. But the fastest growing section of the uninsured is people over $75,000 income who are making a calculated gamble that if they get sick, you'll take care…

No. I think Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American.

I am an agent of real change. I actually want to change the way Washington works.

The establishment in both parties is panicking. But just as they did with Ronald Reagan. Go back and read what people wrote about Reagan in '79/'80. It's very similar.

Watch TV here for two days. You've had -- YOU'VE HAD all sorts of people and all sorts of these super-PACs who have consistently been running negative ads.

Watch TV here for two days. You've had all sorts of people and all sorts of these super-pacs who have consistently been running negative ads. Well, you get enough negative ads before you start answering them. Your numbers go down for a…

The easiest answer is that's just not true. What she just said is factually not true. I never lobbied under any circumstance.

this is about leadership and a leader needs to be someone, and here's his quote, 'sobriety, stability, patience, and temperance.'

I feel like people are baiting me because they want Newt Gingrich to behave as the old Newt Gingrich.

I would just say that if Governor Romney would like to give back all the money he's earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years at Bain, then I would be glad to then listen to him.

Since I announced my candidacy for president of the United States I have made it clear that I intend to run a positive solutions-based campaign.

The American people deserve a respectful and constructive campaign that focuses on a vision for rebuilding the country we love.

In a lot of what you say just isn't true. Period. I have never -- I opposed cap and trade, I testified against it the same day that Al Gore testified for it. I helped defeat it in the Senate through American Solutions. It is simply untrue.

The most systematic, deliberate obstruction of justice cover-up in an effort to avoid the truth we have ever seen in American history.

There's no question that at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and that things happened in my life that were not appropriate.

In my name and over my signature, inaccurate, incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the Ethics Committee, but I did not intend to mislead.

We turned over a million pages of material. We had a huge report. The total 83 charges were repudiated as false. The one mistake we made was a letter written by a lawyer that I didn't read carefully.

I suggested to Donald Trump that he adopt a program of apprentices and take one of the poorer schools in New York City and create 10 apprenticeships that will be paid for part-time work. And he liked the idea a lot. He understood exactly…
