45. No, they suffer from cognitive dissonance
Fancy term for believing what they want to believe when all the evidence before them is completely opposite of what they believe. That's why bush can get away with not doing anything he promises to do (except hypocritical tax cuts), and they still support him, because they're fixated on believing that he's doing the right thing, even though he does the wrong thing over and over and over.

It's maddening.
