1. McCain supports federal funding for embryonic stem cell research? I'm sure Palin does not!

[Nihil]

2. Although we're probably not supposed to mention this ...

... due to his age, McCain is far more likely to need the sort of
medical advances that involve embryonic stem cell research than
Palin is ...

Now, when Palin gets to be in her 70s, *that* will be the test to
her faith ...

I know you've worked hard at being non-partisan, but it's time to fish or cut bait. McCain's answer to all 14 questions is his nomination of Sarah Palin for the VP position. For a survivor of several bouts with melanoma to nominate a creationist End Times believer demonstrates total contempt for the scientific process in and of itself.

Sarah Palin's churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same 'Spiritual Warfare' movement that was featured in the award winning movie, "Jesus Camp," which showed young children being trained to do battle for the Lord. At least three of four of Palin's churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young "Joel's Army" to take dominion over the United States and the world.


If you really care about the fate of scientific inquiry in the US, you should endorse Senators Obama and Biden now
