I would suggest MOST conservatives probably do not really give a damn one way or the other on that particular issue. I think most consider that argument to be rather minor among the things we have to worry about, or they do not view it as a thing which threatens their faith one way or the other. I subscribe to both actually, but find it an interesting topic. I think the ones who are making a SERIOUS issue of it are probably a few activists, for the most part, though many more are sympathetic to those activists cause.

As far as this part goes ...
the dems would use the anti-evolution sentiments of a few activists and attempt to brand the whole conservative movement as a bunch of ignorant, unwashed fools, whose religious views would drag us all back into the Dark Ages.
that is precisely how they ARE trying to brand the whole conservative movement.

But not based on Creationists or ID. Most don't even know who or what those ideologies are about, except at the local level where most parents support the school initiatives.

You are correct if you are talking about the far Left but it has not worked in the last two presidential elections. The Religious Right Scaremongering argument for the left is no longer viable in American politics except when speaking to the choir. Mainly because younger people are rejecting the 60s and going back to more traditional values.

Almost 80% of Americans believe that 10 Commandment Monuments should not be removed from the public. In fact now the ACLU is helping the Republicans. If you look at people that are running for President on the Democratic side now like Hillary, God is every other word coming out of their mouth.

JesusLand is making a huge comeback in politics and the Religious Right concept is on the ashheap of history. Those lessons have been learned and the Republicans have adapted. The Demos have not.
