Hey Prisoner#1,
I have my doubts about the validity of these measures of science comprehension (I mean what to they measure, really?), but I wonder what would have happened with this analysis had the study been conducted over a period of time. My guess is that actually, such a longitudinal design might be informative about "motivated reasoning." We've discussed a bit before how easy it is to look at a cross-sectional analysis and overevaluate how much you're learning about a dynamic mechanism.
What if there were a trend that showed that over time - as the number of people who identify with the Tea Party have dropped, and as the popularity of the movement has waned - the correlation between identification with the Partiers and science comprehension changed in magnitude? Say the study compared sampling from when the Tea Party first coalesced, then the summer 2012 time period when you collected your sample, and then more currently. Would that be meaningful?
My reaction to this research is generally: The more longitudinal the more informative. I don't think that you can find a meaningful relationship between what someone thinks and how someone thinks by using political ideology as a yardstick. But I do think that it might be useful to compare how someone identifies, politically, over time, to "how" they think. How are people who strongly identify with the Tea Party in October of 2013 different from those who identified with the Tea Party in October of 2010, or October of 2012? What can we understand about why some people have doubled-down on their dedication to the Tea Party rhetoric while others have moderated in their support for the Partiers?
This goes back to something that I've felt for a while: that it isn't that people who are more (scientifically or otherwise) literate who are more invested in using their knowledge to confirm their biases, but that people who are more invested in confirming their biases have more motivation to become more (scientifically, or otherwise) literate.

the measure how well someone comprehends something, it's not that difficult to comprehend what the study was about
