"What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." —Conan the Barbarian
One of the hallmarks of the right fringe of the GOP — whether it be evolution or global warming — is to simply and willfully disregard any fact or truth that is contrary to their core beliefs. Indeed, this worldview has also formed much of their political strategy: say anything, no matter how blatantly ridiculous or false, and it becomes accepted as truth.
Reality, however, finally caught up with them and kicked them in the ass in this election, as President Obama easily sailed to re-election, shocking a GOP that was convinced — convinced — that the election was in the bag, despite what the polls said. After all, the polls had to be skewed since it didn’t conform with their “gut.”
Up until now, I was sure that the insistence of the leaders of the far right fringe in believing Romney was going to win was simply a ploy to keep the base energized. But by all accounts, it appears that Romney’s camp, Fox News and pundits like Dick Morris and Karl Rove actually and truly did believe their man was going to win! They are indeed more delusional than I thought. That's on them and great for the rest of us.
