(7,515 posts)Who knew Bill Maher was so entirely correct when he began his regular segments of "The Bubble" on Real Time? Every Republican (and their bastard cousins the Libertarians) believed Romney had it in the bag. David Frum said it on Mo Jo on Friday..."conservative entertainment", think Faux News, has been lying to them. My son works for a Republican boss. A lovely man he both likes and respects. He called me Wednesday evening to tell me he had never seen his boss so enraged for so long. He was slamming doors, drawers and the phone all day. Last night he reported that his boss was somewhat calmer on Friday, but still incredulous and furious.
Since 1992 Gingrich, Luntz, Rove and Murdoch have pushed a divisive meme the uninformed have swallowed hook, line and sinker. They have convinced not only average Republican voters that first the Democrats and now Obama, is about to bring on the Apocalypse....What's worse, is that they have convinced many of the big donors the Apocalypse is nigh.
If you think this is fun, wait until the economy begins to take off...they won't know whether to shit or go blind.
