I tend to agree that both liberals and conservatives have ideological blinders, and that our view of the political landscape is completely skewed by partisanship.
That said, I think conservatives are far worse about it. My favorite example is this survey from 2004, showing the massive disparity between Kerry/Bush voters in what they knew about their own candidate's issue positions.
Long story short: Bush voters didn't know what the guy they were voting for actually stood for. Which, now that I think about it, would explain his current poll numbers.
