17. Republican don't care what the statistics ARE, just what they THINK they are.

I suppose the same goes for facts in general. And science, well, that's just some sort of liberal hoax. All that matters is what the Bible says. Well, what conservatives THINK it says. According to them, Jesus was pro-death penalty, pro-rich people, pro-war, anti-abortion, anti-poor people, and anti-gay.

Not only doesn't he think statistics exist that disprove his position, he won't bother to check. Republicans don't bother doing the homework. They just guess an answer and argue when the teacher marks it as wrong. (Teachers are probably democrats anyway.)
