"When it comes to forming opinions and making judgments on hot political issues, partisans of both parties don't let facts get in the way of their decision-making, according to a new Emory University study. The research sheds light on why staunch Democrats and Republicans can hear the same information, but walk away with opposite conclusions."

There's also an article in this month's Scientific American regarding this study.
It reminds me of a great line in the one man show "Defending the Caveman" when the actor says "Women are not hindered by logic." Apparently, neither are political partisans. |
