I would have voted for the 2000 version of John McCain, and I would have voted for him this time if he reverted back to that version. But putting someone on your ticket that doesn't believe in basic science is a slap in the face to anyone with an IQ over 60.
I know this is good news for Republicans who are into the whole "dinosaurs were Jesus' horses" crap, but to people who actually have some respect for science and common sense, it's a big step backwards that these people are still being accepted for one of the highest positions in the world. |
McCain has taken opportunistic pandering to a whole new level, that's for sure.
Luckily, these two people are pretty unlikely to be accepted for the positions. If Obama doesn't mess up, he should be able to win the general election fairly easily.
McCain is continuing to follow the batshit-insane-wingnut line he needed to get through the primaries. After Bush, though, it should not get him the presidential nomination.
