A vey naive statement. If you actually think that ANY Republican politician is going to be able to avoid the subject of evolution between now and 2008, you are in denial.
Don't forget - the demagogues on the left who are running for office - mine the ignorance and stupidity of their constituencies (see my tag line) for their talking points. And one of those "talking points" is this: "the Republicans are waging war on science".
See the links in my post #34 for details.
There are only two VIABLE political parties in America at this point in history; The Stupid Party and The Evil Party.
The Stupid Party is called "stupid" because the majority in it _today_ are naive for the most part, and are either always blindsided by the evil party's tactics, or have no idea how to combat ruthless street fighters like Hillary, et.al.
Conservatives (Classical Liberals) usually vote for candidates in the stupid party, because that is the only political party in which we have any hope at all of having any influence - having our voices listened to.
We have no voice in the evil party. Those who deliberately make choices that result in the evil party coming to power - (either by not voting, voting for a candidate in a non-viable political party, or voting for any RAT) - have my everlasting contempt.
