Republicans Against Science!

Or we could all calm down and remember that this is an opinion piece.

By the way, please to be ignoring Mr Perry's copious contributions from the oil & gas industry. Also ignore Sen. Inhofe's similar contributions.

Regarding his guff about evolution being "just" a theory that has lots of flaws, blech, talk to a biologist.
I seriously don't understand how a politician can go off railing against established scientific method and this makes him more popular.

It's different when they bang on about economics and job creation and whatnot, there the empirical evidence can be cut many ways, and it's also part of an elected representative's job to sift and sort that evidence to produce meaningful policy (TWO DOLLAR GAS TOMORROW SOMEHOW! VOTE BACHMANN!). But messing around with evolutionary biology isn't even on Perry's playing field.

gah, makes me mad.
