All Republicans, from the President on down, share responsibility for this historic collapse. We can blame the media, we can blame the liberals, we can blame those stupid peeples, we can even go so far as to label people who vote Democratic as traitors (which is idiotic and childish).

I will blame the voters if they allow the Dems back in power

Freepers must remember, the GOP and Dems do not have a majority amongst the voters. 15 to 20 percent are independents and they hold the balance of power. If the GOP loses, it is because the independents swung heavilly towards the Dems. For the independents, they do not see much of a difference between GOP and Dems. If they sense there is a need for change they will vote the incumbents out of office and replace it with the opposition. If the GOP loses they lost because they could not convince the independents to vote for them.

"Blame the voters" is the approach that the left uses when they lose elections. Are we incapable of critical self appraisal in the face of electoral setbacks as well? I agree with the author of this article, the GOP deserves a large share of the blame. Instead of facing possible defeat in November, the GOP should be on the verge of finishing off the Dems as a national party. There is ABSOLUTELY NO excuse for losing to the current Democratic Party.
