actually there are lots of creos that being single issuers will not vote for a known evo...... it’s a principle thing
.
Anyone stupid enough to actually believe that evolution happens is too stupid to be trusted with guiding this country.
Evolution isn’t ‘science,’ its leftist propaganda to dumb down our children and give the middle finger at Yehova for not being ‘inclusive,’ and ‘tolerant.’

No , its a moral thing and a commonsense thing.

As Twitchy reported, lefties are weirdly giddy over Gov. Scott Walker’s refusal to state flat-out whether or not he subscribes to the theory of evolution. Members of the media are beside themselves with delight at what they see as a golden opportunity to paint Walker — and the entire GOP — as anti-science.But when push comes to shove, are these “real journalists” actually in any position to claim intellectual superiority? The Federalist’s Sean Davis sure as hell doesn't think so, so he decided to give them a much-needed taste of their own medicine:
Just once, I'd like a politician to answer the reporter's evolution question with "Why don't you tell me what *you* think that means first."
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 11, 2015Because I can guarantee the reporters playing that game couldn't come close to accurately describing the current "scientific consensus."
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 11, 2015"Are you asking if I believe in punctuated equilibrium or phyletic gradualism? What do you mean 'I don't know those words?'"
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 11, 2015Textbook example of what I'm talking about right here. https://t.co/rYPMX5gnXE

So political agitprop is now a theory?
.
I think you're 100% wrong. They never evolved.
Will there be Darwin questions at the Presidential Debates ? LOL
Scott Walker handled it the right way. What he believes about EVOLUTION has nothing to do with what a President does. This and all “gotcha” questions should be ignored.
Do you believe in Evolution?
“Thanks for the question. I can’t judge if you are truly sincere in asking it OR if you are just throwing out a “gotcha” question. Anyway, I have to be honest and say that Evolution is not something I really spend a lot of time considering. Let the experts with opposing views on the topic continue to debate it. My interests are more about the here and now. What can we do to improve the lives of Wisconsin residents and US citizens NOW. What can we focus on TODAY to see every American has the best opportunity for the best life possible.”
But, but, but you haven’t answered the question.
“I did. Next question.”
“Darwinism serves the left not as a scientific theory actually informing how they understand the world, but as a shibboleth for anti-Christianity.”
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
Exactly! I really don’t care how we got here. The point is moot anyway. I personally believe in creationism but I’m not gonna argue with an atheist who thinks mankind is an accident. We have too many problems to solve TODAY to debate how we got here and when it happened. Besides, it’s called the “theory” of evolution for a reason.
Like who?
Never mind, I should have just read the comment below yours :)
Thats excellent.
The issue I have with Walker here is that he wasn’t prepped with a forceful general response to gotcha questions. He responded, but should have really put the questioner in his place for cheapening the political debate.
But we’re a little under a year out from the primaries and a year and a half from the general election really cooking off. This will be remembered (and cared about) a much as the 2013 shutdown was in 2014. But its a good lesson for Walker to learn directly, and other potential nominees like Cruz indirectly, about how the other side is playing the game.
it is neither a moral nor commonsense thing you are delusional to think that
actually the left DOES care what he believes, and they do give a rat’s #$#$ what he believes because IF He says evolution is impossible, then they get to campaign against him as being ‘anti-science’ because the left believes evolution is possible DESPITE the many ways in which it is impossible- Scott’s answer should have been “I believe what the scientific community at the 1966 Wistar Symposium concluded- and there has been no scientifically credible arguments/evidence since then to change my mind- Next question?
Keep telling yourself that; its all that you’re going to have going ahead through the consequences of foolish gullibility.

balderdash...... you need to read to be enlightened
.
You need to stop worrying about ‘enlightenment,’ and other humanistic wheel spinning, and get into reality.
.
ahh...you got to say it humanistic........ the catch all derogatory pejorative
I’m reduced to trash while you maintain your sanctimonious fig leaf
