And so he ends the interview:
“I would be against a conservative imposing radical change.”
That’s what he called Ryan’s Plan and got blasted by Rush and Levin.
yo, steel, got a little more reality for you. Take a deep breath:
you rush and levin are all wrong on this matter, and are just parroting media and dem talking points and badmouthing a good man
This fake controversy started with newt's remarks on MTP May 15th... where he didn't speak clearly, and it was jumped on by the press and people like you...
Here is what he said before that appearance about Ryan's plan. Read and learn.

Gingrich praised the Ryan plan in an article in Human Events on April 13. He called it the most serious attempt by an elected official to rethink our public finances and the modern welfare state in a generation. That is quite a compliment from a former speaker of the House to a current committee chairman. Using a golfing metaphor, Gingrich celebrated the plan, calling it a Ryan "eagle." Is that comparison a negative critique, or is it commendation? One week later, on April 20, Gingrich in the same space heaped more praise on the plan. He compared PaulRyan to PaulRevere, one of our nation's great heroes, and compared the Ryan Medicare plan with his own previous welfare reform. Why would he disparage something he would compare to one of his greatest achievements? Gingrich later said he would have voted for the plan if he had had the opportunity......
So Paul Ryan has now come to agree with Newt Gingrich about how Medicare reform should be implemented. No one should be surprised. Gingrich helped reform welfare during a Democrat presidency. He knows how to reform the whole entitlement leviathan.

Likely Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is making a very clear distinction between his plan for Medicare reform and that of Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. In Gingrich’s latest Facebook post he says "one option is to move towards a 21st Century personal Medicare system that would allow seniors to choose on a voluntary basis a more personal system with greater options for better care." A Gingrich spokesman tells ABC that the former House Speaker is saying we “should not compel seniors into any one size fits all system. We should design a system that they will choose over the current system, one with more choices and better care but if they want to stay in the old system — bad as it is — they can stay.” That represents a significant departure from Ryan’s plan. Presidential hopefuls are trying to find the right balance of praising Ryan's approach, as they did when it was first released, while not endorsing the more controversial elements of the plan.
