Gingrich

We already learned the Newt Gingrich monarchy would dispatch
U.S. marshals to arrest activist judges. The latest picture of what life would be like under the reign of Gingrich? Don't be too "far left" or you'll get yourself sacked.
From TPM:
Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich suggested at a Fox News forum hosted by Mike Huckabee in South Carolina on Saturday that it would be a good idea to fire federal employees for being too liberal. Federal law, on the other hand, says Gingrich’s plan would be illegal.
“I think an intelligent conservative wants the right federal employees delivering the right services in a highly efficient way and then wants to get rid of those folks who are in fact wasteful, or those folks who are ideologically so far to the left, or those people who want to frankly dictate to the rest of us,” Gingrich said in response to a question from a federal employee at the forum (emphasis ours).
Under the tyranny of our current Obama regime it's recognized that firing people because of political affiliation
is illegal.
But a new day is dawning and wise Professor Newt knows what ails the country and how to fix it. Implicit in his statement is His Royal Gingrichness will be the decider of what constitutes "so far to the left" that they cannot be trusted to work in the federal government.
