I've been wondering why the Republicans self-harm, by banging on about god and abortion and stuff.
After all, they simply cannot lose in their banker states, they are just preaching to the converted.
You would think that they would keep quiet, and try harder to con the voters in the swing states.
But I suppose, on an individual basis, they are competing for position in their own back yards. So to get on the ladder and stay there, they are constantly forced to charm the right wing with the hardest-right rhetoric.
So in effect, it's the right-wing nutters who lost it for Mitt.
That gives me a warm feeling inside.
