Washington Times: Robert Knight: 'Casting Blame at Religious Conservatives For Mitt Romney's Defeat'

Source:The Washington Times- Well, the Republican Party used to be the GOP, anyway.

"Like clockwork, traditional-values voters are being blamed for the failure of a moderate GOP presidential candidate.

Bush in 2004 or John McCain in 2008. Somehow, it’s their fault that Mr. Romney lost.
