Trying to blame the voters who chose not to vote Republican (not me) is assinine.Of course it is the fault of the voters. They're the ones that put them in office. (Someone who doesn't vote isn't a voter.)

Boy have you got it backwards.
Citizens don't represent politicians, politicians represent the citizens and serve at their behest.
If politicians decide that they don't have to represent citizens, it is the citizens choice, responsibility, shoot, even their civic responsibility to vote them out of office.
The GOP has been trending more and more left, especially on the size of government, for some time now. I doubt the GOP lost many actual Republicans, but I bet they did lose a lot of small 'l' libertarians who saw them as just another bad copy of the Democrats in many ways.
