Actually, Romney and the

Actually, Romney and the other Republicans that lost today shot themselves in the foot. Todd Akin's idiotic comment about whether or not a rape is legitimate destroyed his Senate campaign and Richard Mourdock's foolishly worded statement about a human life being "God's will" in a criminal act of rape is what cost him the Indiana Senate race.

Votes for Gary Johnson and write-ins for Ron Paul don't total the "difference in votes between Obama and Romney" in Ohio and Florida. Look at the numbers and add them up. Florida is close to that claim but not quite (46,000 difference while Gary got 43,000 there) and Ohio was 100,000 votes difference while Gary got 48,000 votes there.

Voters for Gary or Ron do not deserve the credit or the blame for Romney losing those states, so don't say what isn't true. Romney lost those states because of his own duplicity, flip-flopping and past record of liberal governance in Taxachussetts.

The message to the GOP should be clear: stop trying to win "at all costs" with two-faced milk-toast "moderates" to the point of rejecting every principle that the party used to stand for. Get back to consistently defending what made America the land of the free and the home of the brave: the Constitution and individual liberty.
