A few questions: 1. Would a good scientist vote for John Kerry?

Possibly, yes. I don't conflate good science and conservatism; many excellent scientists hold misguided views on subjects outside science.

2. Did you know only 6% of Bush voters believe in TOE?

Yes, I agree that is one reasonable interpretation of those polls. Though theistic evolutionists would assert that a much higher proportion of Bush supporters than that support ToE I am not one of those.

3. Figured it out yet?

No, you just pulled that 70% figure of yours out of the air from your personal prejudices. It is known as a "presumed conclusion". It is perfectly plausible that the Republicans amongst the 99+% of practicing scientists who support ToE were amongst the 6% of the Bush voters who support ToE. You have produced nothing other than your own prejudice to gainsay that view. Given your past record of inability to understand science and math I'm not expecting any better argument from you any time soon.

Common sense screams otherwise!
