Many of those same people eat up the shit about a 6,000 year old Earth, virgin births and how science is ruining the country.
I think it was a good speech and did what was intended. Like them or not, Republicans run Presidential campaigns better than anyone. To even have this race this close at this stage is a testament to that. I think the Palin pick will backfire and he'd have been better off with a guy like Romney who has all the dirt out on him by now and can still be strong.
Republicans would save me a few percent on my taxes every year. But the thing that astonishes me about those, especially in porn, that vote for the Republicans now is what they are doing to society. Crap about creationism in schools, not teaching our kids sex-ed, trying to get books banned from libraries. I just see a lot of other countries in this world getting smarter, putting out a lot of engineers and scientists. We seem to be going the opposite direction and Republicans are the ones pushing it that way.
So in the end, I'll pay a few extra bucks on my taxes (which I really think will be made up for by the fact the poorer will have more money to buy stuff with) and if it means this country doesn't get dumber thanks to people like Palin who believe we should be teaching our kids fairy tales in science class. If the Republicans were fiscally conservative and for small government, they'd have my vote, but they don't even bother doing that anymore.
