re: #213 Charles

No reversal here at all. I wanted Obama to be defeated, so I publicized Palin’s reversal of her position on creationism. It was too late, the damage was done.

But I was exceedingly clear in my post that I was NOT OK with her first stated position, that she wanted to teach “both.”

The president has very little influence on the content of school curricula. It is not a federal issue. I think in fact that Bush himself was a creationist in his personal beliefs, but he neither tired to nor had the power to puish that agenda in the classroom. So Palin’s creationist beliefs mean little to me, politically. In fact, governors like Pawlenty and Palin have more power over school curricula than the president does.

Yes, the Left bashed Palin over creationism, but that comprised about 2% of their hatred of her. They would have savaged her, creationism or no creationism.
