Whilst on my way to church this morning, I happened across a couple of squawks posted at UD, authored by the male version of Denyse O'BlearyLeary. Dave "I don't know where the space bar is" Scot seems to be all a'twitter over John McCain saying, a couple of years back, that he supports "teaching the controversy," the fact that there is no scientific controversy over the ToE not withstanding. Go here to check out his pearl of wisdom. I suggest opening his link to the orginal article as well, although registration is required. Bugmenot will fix that.
A commenter on my previous article asked whether John McCain supports intelligent design or not. After a quick google I can happily say the answer is yes.

McCain sounds like presidential hopeful

As the Gallup Poll noted, McCain has a generally consistent conservative voting record but forged a national reputation after a series of notable breaks with fellow Republicans.
On Tuesday, though, he sided with the president on two issues that have made headlines recently: teaching intelligent design in schools and Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who has come to personify the anti-war movement.

McCain told the Star that, like Bush, he believes “all points of view” should be available to students studying the origins of mankind.


I wonder what Barrack Hussein Obama has to say about Intelligent Design. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?


I found the comments to be of particular interest; evidently a lot of those guys aren't all that taken with McCain, either.

Commenter #7 put yet another knife through the heart of my hope that Americans can actually think for themselves in terms of politics:
McCain is honest (a straight talker), and willing to take a position he feels is right. Even if it is unpopular.
How dumb do you have to be?
