I do not understand why conservatives are so anxious to jump into these things. They never seem to know which side they are on. I understood exactly what he meant (inartfully said) as soon as I heard the clip. His biology is wrong, I believe (and I’m a biology teacher, so I understand how the human body works). He may well believe that tho. And, btw, MOST Americans are very bad at science, so if you gave a pop quiz most of them would fail basic biology, so he’s not in the minority there.
What is astounding is how quickly conservatives toss their own under the bus. And don’t get that this is EXACTLY what the left wants us to do.

Exactly right, Brytlea.

There is so much to know in the world... from biology to physics to chemistry to math... it’s impossible to know everything.

If we agree to toss a candidate as soon as he fails a gotcha question, we’re dommed, because we’ve given the left carte blanche to use gotcha questions as their entire campaign.

Exactly! I found this article this morning and was just about to publish it, when I did a search on Free Republic. It is a very good article that hits on a lot of points. Mostly that we fall for everything the right dishes out.. It's a shame. We've GOT to be brighter than they are as a group, right? Maybe not! :(
