Another good place to pick up my writing is at the exact same place I left off: Republicans Creating an Alternative Reality So They Can Sleep at Night.
It's the same tired story, no matter the topic. Reality tells us one thing and Republicans completely invent a fantasy to tone it out. There may be no greater or better example of such Republican anti-reality dwelling than the 2012 election. For years Republicans told us there was no way Obama could get re-elected. When every poll ever conducted showed Obama winning easily, Republicans invented the "skewed poll theory" to escape reality. Fox News led the way in reporting the skewed stories. Republicans cheered it on as they completely believed that the polls were tilted in favor of Obama and that they had exposed it to the world and had the election in the bag.
As the world knows, Obama coasted to victory. The polls weren't skewed. They were nearly exact. Those who were wrong, so wrong that they looked like complete idiots, were the Republicans and their media organization for trumping such biased, unrealistic stories in the first place. But remember, when you live in an alternate reality totally consumed with the belief you are superior to everyone else, and that everyone else hates America, you can pretty much be wrong constantly and it never really matters. Thus we have the all new and improved GOP 2014 Polling Guidelines. Good luck with that.
