The three front-runners did fine - but three others don't believe in evolution!
And now to the Republican debate on MSNBC last night, for which I want to give the same kind of performance analysis as I did for the Democratic debate last week - that is, how presidentially the candidates presented themselves, as distinct from whether or not I agree with their positions.…

Ruvy, Obama actually isn't a muslim. His nearest muslim relative is one of his grandfathers. He's nominally some sort of speaking in tongues and falling on the floor Christian - which is not much better.

Or what if he was in one of those snake-handling cults? He could take his oath of office with a struggling king cobra in one hand instead of a Bible! Cool!!! ;-)

Ruvy, it looks like you were possessed by Borat for a few seconds there!

"Zedd, comment #96 is moronic, because I apply the same standard to free speech regardless of who the target of the insult might be. Since your comment is nonsensical and baseless it amounts to the equivalent of a personal attack on me. But I don't care."
- Dave Nalle
So you preface your opinion, that because Zedd's comment is nonsensical and baseless it's a personal attack, by calling her moronic...?
Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy there?

Well, you see, Dave's reasoning is that it's not a personal attack because he called Zedd's comment moronic not her personally but then using his own argument her comment to him is a personal attack because it was moronic however his isn't because he doesn't care about hers I need to stop now because my brain hurts............

On the subject of personal attacks, Dave's opinion doesn't count. The only one that matters is mine. Mine I tell you! *Cackles maniacally*
You should all just go about your business and trust that the great comments editor in the sky will protect you. Regular worship and high value tributes gratefully accepted! Har Har!!

Aha!!! That's it!!
When you argue the illogicality of the faithists, you're really just trying to eliminate the competition, aren't you??
You've outed yourself, Rose.

Leave Archie alone! Every time he posts he harms the cause he believes in, so don't stop him.

California wines are overpriced and it's difficult to get a decent one at a modest price. Even here near the wineries. But in France excellent wines can be had for $5-10 easily. Last month I made a hit at a dinner of vignerons with a Cahors I bought for $5 that afternoon at the SuperU. The next day it was gone from the shelves.

Not believing in evolution is not as alarming as the large segment of society that believe in a magical alternative.
I wish that the large religious segment of US society would re-examine their beliefs using logic of an adult. Think about "God" plainly for a moment. It helps to use a term other than "God" to allow your mind to think this way. Assume "Bob".
"Bob" is an invisible, silent creature that wants everyone to worship his goodness, or else.
"Bob" is an alien society of one that created everything, and needs no spaceship for transportation.
"Bob" can talk to everyone at the same time, but the communication channel is very bad. Often you hear what you want to hear.
Religious people often think space aliens are silly, but then believe a magical force out there controlling everything.

The evolution question is irrelevant. Just as a question on atheism would have been irrelevant at the Democratic debate.
Needless to say, I like Mike (Huckabee, that is). Or Obama -- it's communication that's important, not issues.
But to ask a "call-out" question of candidates like that... that's just unfair.

"For any right-wingers out there who deny evolution.. Try denying gravity too (which is only a theory), preferably from the roof of a 20-story building."
LOL! There is no scientific evidence to support evolution, you idiot. Glad to hear that the blind masses are alive and well. Baaaaaaaaaa!
139 - Christopher Rose
Do you have any evidence to support that assertion?
