You’ve Been Warned

Think Progress Reports:

Gingrich is apparently rallying Republicans behind a new “contract” with Americans — a pledge to take away their health care. Gingrich reiterated his call for all Republicans to commit to repealing any form of a health care bill that Democrats might pass before the 2010 elections:

GINGRICH: If the left manages to drive through a bill which is opposed by 65 percent of the country on health care, our commitment should be simple — when we get a majority, we’re repealing the whole thing. (applause) And I want every Democrat who is about to sacrifice their seat for socialized medicine to understand: after you lose your seat, you’re going to lose the socialized medicine too.

As I and many others have pointed out before, Gingrich’s Contract wasn’t responsible for the ’94 congressional takeover. But if it happens, that won’t stop Gingrich from taking credit for it.
