Gingrich named as common enemy by wounded Democrats
In a Disney World meeting, Democratic leaders blame Newt Gingrich as the GOP’s main foe and a fundraising aid, while questioning White House guidance and facing a tough path to rebuilding after the 1994 defeats. They warn Gingrich’s agenda could widen deficits, cut Social Security and education, and roll back civil liberties, while planning mail appeals to energize donors.

His public stance has sparked both praise and controversy within the party.
