Preparing for battle is fine advice ... just choose the right battle. I don't think Newt Gingrich's campaign is it anymore. That battle is over. Don't prepare for the last battle -- prepare for the next one.

I’m sure glad it wasn’t guys like you who were with Washington. Way too many around here have given up like you apparently have.
Why do you think the battle for conservatism is over?
And what makes you think anything we do right now makes any difference to the battle against Obama? How does uniting now make it any easier to defeat Obama?
If we unite now I’m never going to be able to say, “Vote for somebody who opposes government-coerced abortion.” The best I’ll ever be able to say is, “Romney is slimy but Obama is worse.” And I can say that any old time. So why is now anytime special to start saying that?
” - - - That battle is over. Don’t prepare for the last battle — prepare for the next one.”
Hmmmmm, - - - - - - . If I read you correctly, there is never a present battle, only the past and future battles.
That way you risk nothing, and thus never loose or gain anything. You are safe.
ALL RINOs say the same things to avoid a battle in US Congress.
BTW, your rationalization of helplessness is why all competative sports have benches.
