This bit of news has been traveling around the Internet today…
The poll asked this question: “Do you think that Barack Obama legitimately won the Presidential election last year, or do you think that ACORN stole it for him?” The overall top-line is legitimately won 62%, ACORN stole it 26%.
Among Republicans, however, only 27% say Obama actually won the race, with 52% — an outright majority — saying that ACORN stole it, and 21% are undecided. Among McCain voters, the breakdown is 31%-49%-20%. By comparison, independents weigh in at 72%-18%-10%, and Democrats are 86%-9%-4%.
It seems Republicans believe all sorts of things these days. Additionally, thanks in large part to Fox News no one’s ever accused the GOP or large parts of the Republican base of being well-informed. Or you know, even based in reality. Obama won cause George W. Bush and the Republican majorities he enjoyed in Congress for 6 of his 8 years in office managed to screw up damn near everything. Plus his opponent chose that vapid lady from Alaska to be his running mate and completely flubbed his response to the economic crisis. Plus he won despite the first legitimate African-American candidate for the Presidency and being portrayed as a racist-communist-socialist-anarchist-Nazi.
So let’s just call this what it is: a majority of Republicans are so self-deluded that they can’t wrap their minds around the fact that their form of government brought our country to the brink of ruin and would rather blame a scapegoat that practically no one had heard of before last year’s election than take responsibility for the fact that they screwed up.
Welcome to America, we have excuses.
