Right Wing reality: The election changed nothing for those outside the reality-based community

I think the Republicans lost in this election because of two things. One is that the Obama campaign was very effective in keeping roughly 92 percent of the people who voted for President Obama before to vote for him again. But they didn’t do a good job of growing the electorate…The Democrats, the the only group that they got more votes this time around than they got four years ago were among Latinos. About 700,000 more Latinos voted Democratic this year than the year before. But the president succeed by suppressing the vote, by saying to people, ‘you may not like who I am and I know you can’t bring yourself to vote for me, but I’m going to paint this other guy as simply a rich guy who only cares about himself.

Rove Accuses Obama Campaign Of ‘Suppressing The Vote’: It appears the Rove meltdown is nearly complete. What, were you thinking that he would accept personal responsibility for having so thoroughly and ineptly predicting the outcome of the Presidential election? (Pro tip: “Gut” doesn’t trump “hard data.”)

Fox discovers constant lying isn’t consistently effective electoral strategy: Nonetheless, they’re going to have little choice but to continue lying. If they start telling the truth, they’ll end up with ratings comparable to the Knitting Channel.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt: Denying reality does not ipso facto render that reality invalid.

Republicans Claim Obama Won Re-election Because Blacks And Hispanics Wanted More Handouts: And just wait until you hear about the “Obamaphone” scandal!!

The GOP’s down-ballot blues: And I suppose you think it’s easy being a wealthy White Conservative Christian male??

The 6 Best Overreactions To Obama’s Win: “I can’t stop crying. America died.” No, you just REALLY need to have your medication adjusted. And get s grip.

Meet the Republican Losers Who Make It Really Hard to Spin a “No Mandate” Narrative: Dear Republicans: Come to the Dark Side reality-based community; we have cookies!!

Boehner tells Obama, My offer is this: nothing: Yeah, you won. So what??

Donald Trump loses it, calls for “revolution”: Hmm…I seem to recall that the freedom of speech as protected by the 1st Amendment doesn’t cover calls for revolution? Shouldn’t Trump be arrested and charged with treason? Or does that only apply to Liberals?

The “White People Mourning Romney” Tumblr: And I suppose you think it’s easy being a racist??

Evolution is a thing: Too bad Conservatives can’t bring themselves to believe in it.

Poll: Most Republicans believe in demonic possession: We probably shouldn’t be surprised. Republicans did, after all, nominate Mitt Romney.
