Rubbish. The blame will rest SQUARELY on the shoulders of the "moderate" GOPe who openly reject (or at least enable the rejection of) individual liberty, free markets and Constitutional. Blame the GOPe's decision to declared outright war on conservative voters and on their enablers including Ann Coulter and too many Freepers.
That's the ticket, let's argue over who gets the blame. That's much more important than defeating Harry Reid. Losers always feel better when they win the argument.
