It seems as though the GOP hierarchy has tushies on it's collective mind. Karl Rove said "Mitt Romney lost thanks in part to a butt-ugly GOP primary campaign that helped paint him in an unfavorable light for the actual presidential campaign season" Grover Norquist said "Obama won by successfully painting Romney as a poopy head. Haley Barbour said "the GOP needs to undergo a proctology exam" There has got to be some kind of amatuerish psychoanalysis we can come up with about this phenomenon
That's one way of looking at it. They're also in denial of the fact that people understood the Christian right's message, and rejected it. They keep trying to blame Romney, or what they think was an unclear message from the campaign, or Democrats cheating, or anything but a crappy message that offended women and minorities
