34. His problem is that he thinks everyone who votes is a teabagger.

He was surrounded by a small but incredibly devout group of teabaggers who thought him an American hero, a great truth teller, and seriously thought he was presidential material (some even encouranging him to run in 2012).

All he heard was that praise from this small group, and it warped his deluded little mind that everyone must like him. Never mind the liberals and Democrats who he constantly insulted. Never mind independents. Never mind even more reasonably minded Republicans who knew that one of their own acting like a fool was not helpful to their party. None of these people even existed in the mind of Brave Sir Allen, at least in terms of actual human beings who vote and not just strawman caricatures.

It was the ultimate group think amongst Allen and his band of merry men.
