It is comments like this that eradicate completely any vestige of respect I may have retained for his conservative past.
Regardless of anything else that happens, I do not have to accept this. I can have it imposed on me, pushed on me, forced on me, legislated on me, but if I think it is wrong (which I do) I will never, ever "accept" it of my own free will.
And for Gingrich to say that, well...that is the same as people like him saying we have to "accept" amnesty and uncontrolled immigration.
If those two things alone banish me to a political exile for refusing to willingly go along, then that is the way it is going to be.
Compromising with evil means accepting evil. There is no "win-win" in it.

Thank you for articulating this very important point.
Quite frankly, we are missing the forest for the trees. The Obama ground game was not superior, it was the time honored Democrat tradition of stuffing the ballot box. The post campaign analysis data is as fraudulent as the pre-election polling was, all designed to lead us to the wrong conclusions.
To have voting in the urban areas of 85-110% of the voters is laughable on its face. Those people, or names, were voted "for". What we saw for this election was Chicago thug politics writ large from coast to coast.
If this country is so stupid to put this clown back in office for four years, we are too far gone for principles like freedom, free-market capitalism and individual rights to take hold again, no matter what the "strategy".
And yo capitulate tot he lies and propaganda by saying we have to accept immigration amnesty, gay marriage, and to stop worrying about abortion is just giving strength to the lie.
No thanks to that.
We need another political party to get our message out. The lesson of 2012 and 2008 is that the GOP is too far gone to ever represent conservatives or to be trusted to do so ever again in the future.
