They just can not look at both sides, how can anyone form an honest opinion if they do not know what the other sides position is?
I believe they see their politics in exactly the same way they see their religion, they will not listen to anything that goes against their religion and they treat their politics in exactly the same way, to say they are blinkered would not be an unfair statement.

You put forward your argument and I analyse it and find the flaws, you defend it.
Whichever argument has the least amount of flaws should be the argument adopted.
Does that sound like a sane way to proceed?
