RW is responding to Mitt's defeat, by doing the thing that caused him to lose

What hurt Romney the most? The 47% video. And from what I've seen, that's how the RW has responded: by smearing the character of the people who voted for Obama.

I caught a little bit of Frank Luntz, and it appears he realizes the folly of this. However the radio host I heard him talking to wasn't ready to hear it, he could not stomach the idea of accomodating the hated 47%. I don't think they will be able to do it, they are determined to keep smearing.

The latest example, the loathsome Mark Steyn on "Fox and Friends"

Their delusion is good for us as a party, as it will help us continue to win elections. But I don't think it's good for us as a country.
