Newt Gingrich plans to 'replace the left'

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is urging conservatives to operate as though they’re in a 10-year plan to “replace the left.”

Gingrich, speaking in Dallas on Thursday, told a conservative crowd “to think in terms of January 2021,” according to CNN.

“Rejection doesn’t fix a center-left coalition,” the former Republican congressman from Georgia said. “We have to decide we’re going to replace the left.”

Gingrich frequently says that he and his wife, Callista, will decide sometime early next year if he’ll run for president in 2012. But in his remarks Thursday, he seemed to indicate the presidency should not be the conservative movement’s top objective.

“If we truly want a wave of change that ends a majority system that has been around since 1932, the wave can’t be the Oval Office,” he said. “Not that the presidency isn’t important, and not that I may not come back here another day and talk to you about a different topic, but that that topic by itself is too narrow.”

“The only way the presidency matters is if there’s a wave of citizens,” he concluded.

1. Let's see how committed he is to eliminating the left.
Let's see him amputate his left arm.

Then I will listen.

2. Remember we when he said that children of poor people should be in orphanages?
