Gingrich "Appalled" By GOP Opposition to Obamacare Before Implementation
Says Republicans need a "breakout" plan for future elections
Newt Gingrich says he's "appalled" at how Republicans handled the opposition prior to the implementation of Obamacare, and suggests it is time for a GOP "breakout" plan for future elections.
"The more we dig into it, I'm sort of appalled that the Republican Party … didn't explain more carefully the things we already know about Obamacare, when we could've kept the president on defense the whole fall campaign," Gingrich said, in an interview with POLITICO.

As an ex speaker of the house and failed presidential candidate perhaps it would be dignified of him to remain out of the public eye.
