more fodder for the Dr.

Sorry , you get who the Republican establishment wants and puts thier money behind , not some upstart doctor who hasn't paid his dues.

 Don't you guys realize that you don't really have a say in this , yet ?

Marco Rubio looks like he is kissing the right asses to be the next nominee . My money is on him.

He has not paid his dues?  The guy grew up poor, and went on to be pediatric surgeon. At a very prestigious hospital..

This is the part that is driving private insurers to increase pricing - if there was one place Barrycare needed to have his plan work this is it

Political dues,  antijava. I can see you don't know how the game is played in Washington either.

That is exactly why people like him.  He is NOT a politician.

The people are morons who vote for whoever the parties tell them to , whether they realize it or not.  That is my point . Any control you think you have in deciding the next president is an illusion. 

You will get Rubio , and you'll like it.

Is it really possible in this day and age to have a president that openly admits to not believing in evolution?

That's not as much a problem as is his likely belief in the infallibility of scripture.

If accurate, is either a deal breaker?

[VinBucFan]

I don't think either should be but Brads is probably right and I think I am too . . . unfortunately

[dbucfan]

I expect some folks will attempt to make issue over each - just wondering if you guys feel either or both could be a deal breaker.  You both know the shortcomings of the current president, and his predecessor, does either of these issues have a greater impact than what they had 'done' prior to their election?

no but the unfortunate reality is that a disinterested electorate pays scant attention to reality and even less to nuances. The good doctor will be portrayed by his detractors as a right wing cook because he is a 7th Day Adventist who doesn't believe in evolution and takes the Bible literally.

bad world we live in  .. .  at least it seems that way sometimes

You don't think this should be extremely concerning to potential voters?  It scares the death out of me.
