Why is this amazing? It's not just the fact that Republicans are now posing as staunch defenders of a program they have hated ever since the days when Ronald Reagan warned that Medicare would destroy America's freedom. Nor is it even the fact that, as House speaker, Mr. Gingrich personally tried to ram through deep cuts in Medicare --- and, in 1995, went so far as to shut down the federal government in an attempt to bully Bill Clinton into accepting those cuts.

He goes on to discuss Republican proposals that would cut deeper into Medicare and eventually end the program as we know it.
