The term is "standing by your principles". What it really means it blindly following a political agenda without question or doubt.
Gingrich has made some comments that would be unacceptable among extremists. For example, he rates Obama A+ for America's foreign policy and accomplishments. He has also stood up for long term illegal immigrants who, as we all should know, are essentially American citizens without all the rights. Both contradict party "principles".
Comments like that are too ‘moderate’. Or what extremists call the liberal elite. Can Gingrich ride the same moderate support that gave McCain the domination?
BTW, Mondale was right. Reagan did increase taxes. But in a way that permitted a myth of lower taxes to live on today.
