re: #165 Last Mohican

It’s depressing to realize this, but it seems to me that the creationism issue splits the Republican party’s membership almost right down the middle. That being the case, Steele and the RNC’s purposes would be best served by asking the pro-creationism activists in the party to please shut up, before they fracture and weaken the party even more than they have. But they’re not shutting up, they’re just getting louder and louder.

Hence my wondering if the RNC had decided to take a stand on this at the national level. Or are they just going to let the crazies get worse and worse until they start demanding that science classes give equal time to the theory of the geocentric universe and the theory of the flat Earth being held up by a turtle?

Well when Cheney comes out and says Rush is a better representation of the party than Powell (paraphrasing), there doesn’t seem a lot of strengths for the centrist/moderates or whatever you’re calling yourselves. They say they want to gather in the Big Tent, but they don’t really.
