It shocks me when I read anyone talk like that. How do people for for someone who says that?! Makes me wonder about a lot of people, sad to say.
I'm just curious, but why? Isn't it just the fact that people have different beliefs? How is that any different than that girl in Philadelphia that voted for Obama because she thought she was going to get free gasoline as a result?
It's different because the girl is just stupid and doesn't have the slightest concept of economics. Thankfully, she won't be writing legislation any time soon. The politician, someone who should be using data and evidence to make decisions for this nation, proudly declares that he believes that a 600 year old man built a boat (we'll ignore the insane amount of resources that would have been needed for such a project) that fit two of every creature on it, despite the fact that many creatures would have had to cross oceans (kangaroos) or survive in conditions which were the exact opposite from which they came (penguins) just to get to the boat. He then managed to keep them all alive, somehow sustaining the lions while preserving the zebras, and then figured out a way to circumvent all of the problems with inbreeding. All the animals got off the boat to a land with no vegetation left, yet they still managed to flourish, repopulating the exact same regions of the world from which their species originated. They did this without leaving a single bone out of place in the fossil records. The politician chooses to adhere to a story written by a couple guys who didn't know where the sun went at night.
I'm really struggling to see the difference. SOMEONE put that guy in office. He could think the moon is made of cheese, the election process is there to vet those people. I see no difference between that guy and Obama, except you agree with Obama on more things. If anything, Obama is worse, because some of his predicates for making decisions are less stark and less easily proved (though no less invalid).
Put it a different way, there is NO difference between the girl who voted for Obama, and the person that voted for that guy.
Anything else is a substantive discussion about beliefs and political platform, and once you get to that point, ridicule all you want, but he has the right to his beliefs, and you have the right to have your beliefs.
