I keep asking myself why the Republicans would have agreed to let Obama smack down their nonsense for 90 minutes on live television. And I keep coming to the same conclusion. They’ve started to believe their own bullshit. These people weren’t at all prepared for Obama to cordially decimate their arguments. They clearly weren’t prepared for the president to come armed with facts gleaned from having actually read their proposals. They weren’t prepared to go up against a smart, reasonable guy who’s not even a little bit afraid of them. (via ericmortensen) (via mikehudack) (via evangotlib) Why should they concern themselves with facts, their constituents don’t. I’m not being glib either, which party has a higher percentage of “birthers”? Where are you more likely to find “young earthers” and “creationists”? Which is the anti-science party? Which party is more contemptuous of intellectualism? Which party has railed against being “elite” for decades now? It’s not glib to say that when the foundations of your party are based on skewing the truth in favor of continuing to lie (in spite of the presence of obvious facts) you’re going to stop concerning yourself with those very facts. Your constituents don’t care about facts, figures, or science, how can you? |
