Does this sort of ignorance bother anyone else, because it scares the fuck out of me. Exactly when did the wheels of intellectual progress start backsliding in this country?
That entire panel of questions was bullshit and meant to embarrass them.

DO you believe in evolution is an incredibly loaded question to ask a republican candidate running in a fucking PRIMARY of all things.

Thats like asking a democrat panel How many of you believe in socialism?

Hillary and B. Hussien Obama of course would raise their hands in a flash, but any democrat with half a brain would be like uhhhh..... hmmmm even if they DID believe in it.

And lets not forget that the loaded question asked was not well defined. To many people Evolution is an engine to disprove the existence of God or what the hell ever. It isn't ignorance, it was political savvy that made them not raise their hands. There was a large number of Christian Republicans who stayed on in the last election and it lost the R's the house and senate. They don't want to piss them off further.

I personally think Fred Thompson (who didn't go to the debate) is the smarter of the potential candidates because its too too early right now to try and do anything. So all you can do right now as a candidate is hurt yourself by screwing up, you cant really score any points.

By the way I am behind Fred Thompson personally, he is the right choice. I like Rudy's experience as helping NY out and everything but hes a RINO.

Other questions asked of the Candidates:

Would Bill Clinton back in the WH be a good thing?
What do you dislike about America?

You can tell it was a fucking retarded cocksucker like Chris Matthews asking the questions because only he would come up with such absurd liberal bullshit questions to ask a group of Republicans. Fucking MSNBC... ah well at least the Reps have the fucking balls to go on a liberal shit station like PMSNBC, unlike the pansy Dems who are afraid of fucking Brit Hume.
