The GOP has not yet come to terms with how they lost all those voters who do make a difference. Except, it’s easy to spot. Creationism, plus all its guises; and taking away choice, are big LOSERS!

Easily one of the dumbest statements I've ever read on FR.

Yep. I'm looking at you...

When you come down hard on Creationism, remove all doubt that you are a loser.

Count me among the losers, then. I find the Creationism threads here on FR to be an embarrassment to the Conservative cause.

Democrats learned in 1994 that gun control, while very popular among their supporters, was a net loser because it energized the Republican base against them and cost them control of Congress for years. Abortion control has a similar effect against Republicans.

Most of the people who are evolutionists already vote Democrat as it is.

A truly ignorant point of view.

No really. Most evos keep telling us how most scientists et al tend to be liberal and are already voting Democratic.

Their word, not ours.

If your first thought is "how do I appease the Left", then you are DOING IT WRONG.

The more they howl in protest, the closer to the mark you are hitting. I was hoping Steele would have more spine than this. I was wrong...

Seems to me “Lohoherman” would be a more appropriate name for a downtown
pimp for the dems and Oone

Badly written shell script.

Forget the GOP. GOP does not equal conservative.

Exactly. The point of the Right is not to be the Left...they can manufacture their own superstitions, we'll stick to the facts.

I'm pro-gun, agnostic, in favor of lower taxes and less government regulation, opponent of the Welfare State, husband, father, and homeschooler. Make of all that what you wish.

If there were a Creationist party, and all its members voted en bloc, it would easily win every election, top to bottom, across the country.

There is not a single district in this country where the wisdom of creationism is not the majority.
