Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) tore into scientists as tools of the devil in a speech at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman’s Banquet last month.
“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell,” Broun said. “And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”
Mr. Broun, along with Mr. "legitimate rape" Akin, is on the House Science Committee. Because... why not? Who could better represent our government's scientific interests than people who believe that science is a demonic atheist plot? Nobody, that's who.
This is why I have become unapologetically partisan when it comes to legislative races.
A very reasonable, nice guy came to my door, campaigning as a Republican for the state House of Representatives. And I said to him, you sure seem reasonable, but it is simply irresponsible to vote for a Republican. Because regardless of how moderate and reasonable and sane you are, you will contribute to a majority that does extreme, unreasonable, insane things. Like appointing a guy who believes in abolishing public schools as chairman of the education committee.
So yeah, all those people who say “I vote for the person, not the party?” They’re deluding themselves.

i do love career politicians who think government is The Problem.
“I vote for the person, not the party?”
yeah, i said that, once. but that was before i bothered learning anything about the kind of people who end up in each party.
