re: #455 David IV of Georgia

Imagine if a political party ever tried to write a creed. We’ll never see it. All political parties include in their roster people who can’t stand other people on the roster. So a creed won’t work. That which is most dear to some is revolting to others.

If the ID-Evolution schism seems like a potential GOP party-buster, consider the Democrats. They have a lock on both the Southern Baptists and the Gay Pride Paraders, on the Autoworker unions and the whacko environmentalists, on the Jewish voting bloc and the Pali sympathizers, On the pro-choice lobby and the most pious Christians, I could go on. The point is, they have managed to get people who despise each others’ life-work to loyally vote for the same candidate regardless of how much a dumbass the candidate they put on the ballot is. So its not impossible.
