“All you have to do is look at the examples I’ve given you today where the government simply fails,” said Gingrich, citing the administration’s handling of the war in Iraq, its immigration policies and response to Hurricane Katrina.

“We have to have very relentless, dramatic change in American government,” he said.

Gingrich added, “The key question is: Is somebody prepared to stand up and say that the American people deserve fundamental change in Washington?”

    I think Ryan wants us to emulate what Newt did to Clinton. Ryan won’t be happy until we impeach Bush.

    All I’m saying is:

    Name 1 thing the Democrats have gotten done since January. This is a poor excuse for “change.”
