I watched most of the GOP debate last night and found it to be mainly a collection of sycophantic necrophiliacs with their noses snugly up a dead Presidents bottom at every opportunity (I read somewhere Gulliani invoked Reagan 19 times)...all this didn't surprise me one bit however, one moment actually shocked me.
When the moderator asked for a show of hands to see who on the stage DID NOT BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION...3 GOP hands shot up in the air!
I was floored!
They were actually proud to show America and the world what a backwards-ass fundamentalist nation we have become when 3 major Republican candidates for President of the United States (probably the most advanced and powerful country in the world) doesn’t believe in the most basic principles of science.
We aren’t talking exotic fringe science here...I mean they don’t understand 5th grade science and are proud of it.
I wonder if they believe the sun revolves around the earth or that the planet is flat and they might sail off the edge too??
Not believing in evolution is just as ridiculous as believing you can find a witch by dunking a woman in a river to see if she floats.
This is the " the Earth is only 5000 yrs. old and dinosaurs and man walked the earth at the same time" crowd and they scare me because they take such pride in their ignorance.
Just when I was starting to feel hopeful too...sure things are highly partisan but we should be able to find common ground with Republicans now that BushCo is going under for the third time.
Just when you think there's hope for understanding between parties and building bridges over our differences, that things might get better if only pragmatic logic is applied to our problems instead of ideology...
The Republicans come out and prove that the same type of religious fundamentalist mind-set that has Muslims justifying suicide bombings for virgins is alive and well in the right-wing of the GOP...fucking shameful and honestly if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it!!
They must be so proud........
