BTW - how different are McCain’s announced stances than Palin’s?

McCain nominated Palin as a candidate. Do you think a presidential candidate you supported would nominate an obviously “stupid” person?

I don’t know how much he’s weighed in on creationism, but he’s pretty much “refudiated” any of his previously “moderate” stances. He’s a politician just like Palin - they do what they think will win them votes. That is their criteria. Do you really know that Palin actually believes that the Earth is 6,000 years old, or is that a stance that she’s taking to pander to fundamentalists?

How about the long line of other Repubilican candidates who toe the line on creationism? Are they all stupid also? Or, are they cravenly appealing to ignorance out of political expediency?
