If a politician knows that if he stands up there will be large, noisy, active group of supporters who will stand with him and defend him through thick and thin (as the media goes after his huevos), yes, I do believe it would add starch to their shorts and many would find a slumbering spine with which to bash libs over the head.

But that would require his supporters to have "spine" Conservatives have one fatal flaw, they elect people and start undermining them the next day. I saw it with Simon on this very site. When he went into general election mode and moved from the red meat of the primaries to the mush of the general election the true believers jumped on him like a buzzard on road-kill.
