One theory I have about Republicans is that they simply have their own reality where beliefs overcome facts. The PIPA poll concludes "it is normal for people to show some resistance (or uncomfortable ideas], the magnitude of the denial goes beyond ordinary."

Here's a poll to back that up.

Highlights . . . .

57 % of Bush supporters believed the Duelfer Report concluded Saddam had WMDs or WMD programs.
23 % of Kerry supporters believe this.

75 % of Bush supporters believe Saddam was providing support to al Qaida
30 % of Kerry supporters believe this.

26 % of Bush supporters believe the rest of the world favored US action in Iraq.
5 % of Kerry supporters believe this.

Bush supporters have similar erroneous beliefs on domestic policy.
