Is there a good word in English for "People who continue to believe something despite copious proof of it being false"?

(And to get the snark out of the way, I'm not looking for Republicans, religious (there's a difference between lack of proof and disproof, and that's REALLY not a can of worms I feel like opening at the moment), idiots, or similar terms. Even though the event that sparked the question is the Republicans who continue to insist Bush is a "straight shooter", in the face of the constant stream of proven lies, falsehoods, and exaggerations from the White House. I'm looking for something a little less inflammatory.)
