conservative implosion update

>> Dick Armey quits Freedom Works, others follow. Oh, my, this doesn’t bode well for tea partiers and tea partying.

>> Karl Rove and Dick Morris have been temporarily banished from FoxNews. For their election coverage, one would guess.

>> 49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore.

One reason that such a high percentage of Republicans are holding what could be seen as extreme views is that their numbers are declining. Our final poll before the election, which hit the final outcome almost on the head, found 39% of voters identifying themselves as Democrats and 37% as Republicans. Since the election we've seen a 5 point increase in Democratic identification to 44%, and a 5 point decrease in Republican identification to 32%.

Still looks like

52% do not realize that they WON.
Get over it.

The President approval numbers are rising....The Republicans plummeting...They are now the official party of old angry bitter white men...and little else

Damn Jules, I just posted something (rambling) similar.

But you are more succinct, and get. it. done. girl!

Only the hard-core fruitcakes are willing to admit their association with the Republican Party in public any longer. Have to credit them for that much -- in spite of the fact that most of them still vote Republican in the privacy of the voting booth.

Realizing that you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

that's exactly right NS. I was wondering if this isn't representative of the "CONverts" I have long predicted/anticipated. It would seem so. The fear of the rightwingnuttery their leaders are embracing seems to be permeating their ranks too.

The Rove/Morris ostracization will be interesting.

In addition to Fox...they are also recurring guests on Hannity's RADIO show. I wonder if Sean will also "stop returning their calls"?

What's funny is, this is part of Fox's attempt to "restore its credibility"...which is totally un-necessary. No fan of the network cares if Fox lied to them...and keeps lying to them. And everybody else...knows it will NEVER have any credibility and never did.
