Well Kell, we've talked before and now it seems we've been proven out. Hard core Republicans and Tea Partiers view their party dynamics a bit differently. They approach their ideology, the same way they approach their belief in God, religiously. So when you intertwine how you view religion, with how you view your politics/ideology...these particular types have a very difficult time (if not impossible) adjusting to shortcomings or policy that they should question.
They can't do it, it's like breaking a covenant. How can they dare to question something they have deep belief in? Their reality, and how they "need" it to be, is "almost" inflexible (for many, it is) because they view everything in absolutes. "We care about the working class and we need them to pay more in taxes, while we want the wealthiest to pay less in taxes", doesn't carry any conflict for them...they can dismiss it because they've accepted a reality that voids conflicts that questions their reality, their beliefs...and by reality I mean everything from stereotypes, rhetoric, talking points, to actual reality.
