No.

Wait, would that get a big reaction out of you?

For that Sandra Flake ugly woman, yes.

You're against them for her? You want her to procreate?

Well, it'd keep her busy.  And hopefully off of the TV.

You're against contraception?

No.

Wait, would that get a big reaction out of you?

Maybe, I'm not sure. I have to be in the mood for it, I'm no Berkut/Raz.

[Zoupa]

From my perspective, they simply became less conservative.

From their perspective they stopped losing elections.

High five

Then no.  I mean, hell, that's what being a Protestant is all about!

FWIW I had a few doubts about him as a potential Romney VP now that we're past the election I think he may be 2016 Prez material.

I said in 2010 that his speech was by far the best I saw that night.  I still think he's very charming and could be a star.  The worry I have is that he seems a bit shallow, not quite as substantial as other GOP potential candidates in 2016.

I don't think this will necessarily hurt him or Republicans because there's lots of people who care about the age of the earth.  I think it hurts because it just seems to be a view that's not really connected to the way most people think.  Similarly I think gay marriage will come to hurt Republicans not because there's a significant number of people who care hugely about that issue but because, increasingly, more and more people don't really get why it's an issue.

It reminds me of the Tories seeming discomfort with ethnic minorities and single parents in the 90s.  It just felt like they were culturally from a different country.  A further problem for the Tories then and Republicans now is that very often it seems like they don't really like the country they live in any more.  I was amazed that the Democrat convention was the one that seemed more optimistic and hopeful which is a symptom of that.

A person who believes in Young Earth is intellectually bankrupt. He may or may not be fit for American public office.
