Not so sure about that.

Do you have any evidence that the GOP-e *forced* Gingrich, Perry, Santorum, and Bachmann to all run against each other and to hang on to the very bitter end while Romney won state after state with a minority of the vote? If not, then face the fact that we conservatives -- by splitting our votes among so many candidates -- are responsible for Romney winning.

Painting the GOPe as the omnipotent boogieman helps deflect responsibility for the outcome.

Nobody forced all the TRUE CONSERVATIVES to sit on their asses and split their votes. That is how it worked out.

that the GOP-E forced

Why do you think it had to be forced?
