My advice: Stay and fight for scientific truth. We need the help. Just hold your nose if you have to.
Publications and self-serving politicians have been pandering to the uneducated forever. ID is just the latest example.
The Republican agenda makers need to understand that when religion takes on science, religion always loses. Always has. Always will.
Karl Rove and his minions need to stay away from this subject like the plague. It is a waste of time, a waste of political capital, and will only empower the Democrats.
The Republicans have done many things right for the last 15 years. I stay with them because they have been right. If Republicans take up the ID fight, they will be wrong. It goes against my craw to support people when they're dead wrong.
