Quickies: Circle the Wagons Edition

Remember how the Fox News-led right wing promised everyone the poll numbers were skewed in favor of Obama?  Remember how they promised us a Romney landslide, a Republican mandate for the future?  Remember how they even setup websites dedicated to unskewing the polls Now that reality has set in and they were made fools in front of the whole world, guess how they have decided to move forward?  By claiming Obama only won because of rampant voter fraud.

Now remember point number #3 I wrote the day before the election detailing Republican claims that cost them the election?  Yep, voter fraud.  No I'm not that smart.  They're just that dumb.

Republican Preacher Man Pat Robertson told his faithful followers that he had talked to God days before the election and God had told him his blessed Party, the GOP, would not only win the White House but sweep Congress.  Turns out the voice he was hearing in his head wasn't God's.  Robertson chalks it up to missing God.  "So many of us miss God. I won't get into great detail about elections but I sure did miss it. I thought I heard from God; I thought I had heard clearly from God. What happened? "You ask God, 'How did I miss it?' Well, we all do and I've had a lot of practice."

Jon Chait does a superb job of completely dismantling Republican rhetoric before and after the election.  Here at The Fold Blog, we call that making them Own It. 

President Obama was reelected by a large margin.  His Party added seats in the House and Senate where they strengthened their majority in the latter.  In Republican John Beohner's world this means the president's signature legislation must be done away with quickly.  They haven't learned a thing.
