Republicans blame their party leadership for Tuesday's losses

Loser, Loser, run to daddy now, on your mark, get set, go

WASHINGTON — Republicans turned on one another Wednesday after losing control of power in Congress - blaming an out-of-touch, self-promoting party leadership for abandoning ethics and conservative principles and turning off the country.
...
Veteran conservative strategist Richard A. Viguerie was especially caustic.
"Every single member of the Republican leadership in the House should be replaced. They have failed the conservatives who put them in office, and they have failed the people of this country," Viguerie said.

"This election was also a referendum on the so-called `neoconservatives' - the big-government Republicans who took us into a nation-building war while they busted the budget and enriched big business and its K Street lobbyists."
...
"We have stood by as Republicans have flaunted, twisted and ignored rules to achieve their own partisan, rather than principled, ends; leaders who have used earmarks to seduce reluctant members to vote for legislation they knew was wrong and kept votes open for hours while they and their White House allies bludgeoned their colleagues into line in support of such legislation," (David Keene, the longtime president of the American Conservative Union) said.
