As are those who decided to "stand on principle," and vote for a "real conservative" or a write-in candidate.
Ah, yes. Blame those that refused to sell their principals, they didn't cave in and so still have their principals unlike those who did and retained nothing.
Overlook the simple fact that it makes no sense to claim throwing a socialist out of office by electing a socialist to replace him.
Ignore the simple fact that Romney was not a vote for something, but against something; and you always get better support being for something than you do against.
