Perhaps more than any other political group, conservatives love to embrace the role of victim. I’m not going to watch the Sunday shows simply because I’m not in the mood to listen to the conservative politicos whine about their losses. They will blame the media, the Democratically funded superpacs, the selfish voters, everything except the idiocy of their message. The voters overwhelmingly rejected their message and yet the conservatives will still insist that Obama enact their policies. I am hoping that Obama rejects the conservatives as soundly as the voters did, however, I’m not very confident.
