    Default Split from Palin for VP: Creationism in schools

Something we've not had since Reagan. Unfortunately, she's not the one at the TOP of the ticket. McCain has too often (IMHO) "Reached across the aisle" something that is Washington-speak for "betrayed those who elected him, by doing what the guy who they didn't elect would have done"
    Just my opinion. Washington is full of people tainted in this way. So far, Mrs. Palin doesn't seem to be, and it is refreshing.

    I disagree with the idea that the "smartest" or most articulate person should be our leader however. I think those have little to do with leadership. They are good qualities, but not the ones I would vote based on.
    Stalin was quite intelligent, after all.

    I also see no reason to fault Gov. Palin for having creationism taught in school. If schools are to teach one theory, why not another.
    Otherwise instead of schools they become an indoctrination center.

    So smart equals evil totalitarian dictator, so its safer to have an idiot as a leader.

    The main reason is Creationism shouldn't be taught is it's a religious belief not really a theory with any scientific proof.
    If Creationism or Intelligent Design should be taught then hey lets include Aliens too.
