"A candidate who says he doesn't believe in evolution doesn't have a snowball's chance in global warming."

You've got to be kidding. First, it's not an issue that has significant relevance to a presidential campaign. Second, even if it was, something like 77% of Republican voters and over 50% of Democrat voters reject evolution. If anything that should have been a plus for anybody but the godless left wing of the democrats.

And 40% of statistics are made up on the spot. Give me a break. If anything, I think you've got your numbers reversed.

The Nation -- Mike Huckabee may not believe in evolution but he says, "I still believe in miracles."

That's the first hit from entering evolution Huckabee when searching News on Yahoo.

Do you have a link to a national poll with those results? That could well be true in some places. There's a reason that question was asked in debates. It's not only Romney's religion that has been called into question since Huckabee decided to make it an issue. Those who insist on a literal interpretation of their Bible are also fair game.

Could you please cite your source? I find these stats highly unbelievable.

I agree 100%! I flat out reject Global Warming, Evolution & Peak Oil. Rather than convey those opinions of mine to my students when they ask me about those issues, I tell them that I seriously question and group's efforts to force instantaneous and massive societal change based on scientific "theory." Global Warming and the Greenies in general have become the last safe bastion for the radical communist and globalist infiltrator. It always goes like this: We can still SAVE the planet!....BUT.... It's going to require that we all change our way of life and for the good of the whole, some of us must sacrifice some minor personal liberties....
