It is understandable that the R's would be coming up with any and all excuses as to why they lost the presidential election along with a few seats in congress.
We've seen the crew at Fox News in clip after clip proclaim their wholehearted belief that Romney/Ryan would win the election not just by a small amount but by a landslide.
It didn't happen.
Karl Rove embarrassingly enough didn't want to believe that Ohio had voted for President Obama and stewed on air about checking and pointing out certain precincts that were yet to be considered, etc.
The unemployment statistics are cooked by the BLS and aren't true. The consumer confidence numbers are impossible. Climate change is a hoax. Rape rarely results in pregnancy. Women really don't want/need equal pay for equal work. The polls are wrong and mis-weighted in favor of Democrats.
This satirical piece in the New Yorker may help explain the problem Republicans are having these days.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Opting for a bold “big tent” strategy to rebuild the party, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, told reporters today, “We need to welcome people who believe in different things than we do, like math and science.”
After disappointing results in Tuesday’s election, Mr. Priebus said that it was time for Republicans to become “more tolerant of those with a math-and-science lifestyle.”
“Just because we don’t believe in those things doesn’t mean we can’t get along with people who do,” he said. “We want to send this message: math and science Americans are Americans, too.”
In the biggest departure from its previous electoral strategy, Mr. Priebus said, the Republican Party is “even considering trying to appeal to women.”
“I read recently that women are as much as fifty-one per cent of the population,” he said. “That number sounded crazy high to me, but maybe one of our new math Republicans can check on it for us.”
