I don't
I didn't say that all Republicans were anti-science, religious fundamentalists, only that the party is pandering to that political sector in order to maintain its power. When Bill Frist, a medical doctor, stated to the nation that Terry Schiavo was not PVS, he was pandering to the religious right. When George Bush says we ought to teach "intelligent design" in our public schools he is pandering to the religious right.
Its all about keeping their votes, not about what the facts are.
