The Main Way Conservatives Make Decisions Is Using Their Feelings (Colbert calls it "truthiness" because of it's lack of facts in decision making)

If truthinews were around in the past, people could have seen great headlines like "Dewey Defeats Truman? You Tell Us!" and "63% Believe Titanic Still Unsinkable."  (03:42)

Fox News and the GOP have been promoting using your feelings to make decisions even if facts contradict your decision as long as it makes you feel good. It's like knowing you shouldn't eat a pint of ice cream a night but it feels good so you do. Rick Santorum demonstrates truthiness...

Understanding GOP-Conservatives: They Are Tribal In Nature 

 The Republican party is more traditional than many analysts realize. With John McCain's support, the "waiting in line" torch was passed on to Mitt Romney and so became the unofficial 'party head' during the elections & primaries before it

From CNN: Despite the tea party’s extraordinary energy over the past year, it looks like former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will win his party’s nomination. At the end of the day, Republicans are following a familiar pattern: Nominating the mainstream candidate who has waited his turn. This is the party that’s had a Bush or a Dole on its ticket for 20 years. It’s a party that also had Richard Nixon on its presidential ticket for 20 years.

How could the GOP nominate someone who everyone claims to not like in the Fox News Network? Ans: Thier leader nominated Mitt Romney. So Mitt Romney it is. 

See? they are tribal in nature...

The Average GOP/FoxNews Follower Is Easily Distracted

According to NPR, multitaskers are terrible at all sorts of cognitive tasks -- but in their defense, they're terrible at them at the same time.  (05:03):

National Mental Health Institute:

Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.1 When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.2 Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness.1 In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.3 Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.1

In the U.S., mental disorders are diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV).4

1 in 4? Really? 25% of the USA suffer from mental illness at some point or another? Or half of the GOP? (Sounds like a profitable business... drive people crazy then sell em drugs and places to stay ETC.)

Sorry this crooked frame was driving me nuts! (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder i.e. OCD)

This sort of "multitasking" seems to be the GOP problem!
1 in 4 is sick!

Understanding GOP-Conservatives: They Lack Self-Awareness
