Here is the key moment from This Week yesterday with Governor Dean and Newt Gingrich. (Transcript here).
DEAN: Wait a minute. You -- you -- not you personally -- but the Republicans have had times over the last -- since the last time we tried this, was 15 years, where you had the president, the House, and the Senate, and nothing happened.
GINGRICH: And they failed. I agree.
DEAN: So, OK, so we've got to do something.
GINGRICH: I'm not defending that.
DEAN: We think this will work.
Newt Gingrich admitted that when the Republicans had the chance, "They failed. I agree" Yes, they did, and we agree with you. We need to quote this, in his own words, far and wide.
