Darwinism is cancer on conservatism.

I know several conservatives, including my wife, who would jump off the conservative ride if creationism became the official position of the GOP.

One of the features of conservativism is, or is supposed to be, a reliance on facts, rather than feelings. The theory of evolution is supported by all of the available facts. Therefore, accepting the TOE is completely compatible with conservativism.

I'm constantly amazed at how many "conservatives" are eager to adapt Lib tactics when evolution is concerned. Suddenly feelings become more important than facts, science is only valuable so far as it advances a political agenda, and lies are perfectly acceptible.

I'm one. In fact, I am VERY tempted to contribute to Santorum's opponent, based on the support he's given to the ID idiocy.

In defence of your wife, it would actually be the GOP jumping off conservatism
