[quote]One lunatic senator ain’t going to make a dent[/quote]
The problem with the Republican Party is that it’s not just one lunatic senator, it’s the whole party that is deeply and flagrantly anti-intellectualist. There was just an article in NY Times claiming that only one of all Republican Senate candidates believes in man-made global warming (which is, as you, of course, know, the scientific consensus). And a sizable number of them don’t believe in evolution, either.
Why can’t I have a party that’s pro-business and pro-fiscal responsibility, but also respects science?
