Unsubstantiated and false assumptions made in the past hour:

1) My disagreement with Broun's views on evolution/Earth age make me a godless liberal.

No.  You just are.

Quote
I am a Christian who believes in science,

Broun is a doctor, so not only does he believe in science, he practiced it.  That was easy.

Quote
and have a problem with my Senator being a man who cannot rationally process and accept scientific fact because it clashes with his personal beliefs.

He must have had a hard time in med school.  You didn't think this through, did you?

Quote
2) My disagreement with Broun automatically means that I support Nunn. This one is laughable. Nunn has not proven herself qualified to be a US Senator, and I already have a candidate in the GOP primary that I support.

You didn't mention anything about her being anti-science, who Broun would be going against if they both were the nominees.

Quote
3) My disagreement with Broun's views on science means that I don't have a problem with big government. Talk about a non-sequiter.

You disagreeing with his views on medicine have nothing to do with you being big government.  Correct.

Quote
Keep them coming, guys! If you keep going, you can paint me as a Trotskyist. 

You spent this whole thread trying to prop yourself up to a higher intellect by saying a devout Christian who graduated from med school and made a living as a doctor is anti-science.  Please, you keep them coming.  This is fun.

How about I let Paul Broun speak for me?

Rep. Paul Broun Says Evolution, Embryology, and Big Bang Theory are "Lies from the Pit of Hell"

Quote from: Paul Broun
"All that stuff I was taught about evolution, and embryology, and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell.

I don't believe that the Earth's but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in 6 days as we know them."

A devout Christian believing in the Bible?  What am I supposed to have an issue with?

As a non-religious person, why am I supposed to care about his devotion to his faith?

If Paul Broun is willing to deny scientific fact based on his personal beliefs, doesn't that concern you about his ability to make rational decisions?

Paul Broun has the right to believe whatever he wants to, and that has no bearing on his eligibility to seek office. But I have the right to take those views into consideration when I choose my US Senator. And I want someone who is willing to accept fact over his personal opinions.

No.  He seemed to believe in science enough to get through med school and make a living as a doctor.  You fall into the liberal propaganda that thinks his devout faith is some sort of issue to worry about.  I really like the fact that he's devout.  I won't have to worry about him tweeting his pee-pee to young girls and getting busted with prostitutes.  He was dedicated and driven enough to follow a certain path, made it through real school (not some degree that involved getting indoctrinated by Marxists), and was responsible to make a living from it.  He passes all the personal and character tests for me.

I expect you to discredit him and make way for a lib/RINO.

I don't disagree with anything you said. Morally, I think his devoutness is a benefit. He's certainly not a man like Bill Clinton, who I believe is almost certainly atheistic, and a pathological liar. Broun does seem to be morally strong, and I will give him that.

We are just going to have to respectfully agree to disagree regarding his views on science. But, I see and fully respect your opinion on the matter.

Disagree on what?  Why am I, the non-religious person, not have a problem with his devotion to the Bible, and you, the "Christian", does?  Why am I also giving strong weight to his science background as a doctor, while you discredit it?

Yeah.  What a crazy man.

He also said the Earth is around 6,000 years old and evolution/big bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of hell". Do you think the general public will approve of that?

He's a doctor -- and an old school house-call doctor at that.  Who knows more about patient-to-doctor relationships? You can't call someone anti-science when they got a medical degree and made a living from science.  That is silly.

You can, when they've said the stuff that Broun has said - you know, the stuff that contradicts basic ideas like evolution and the age of the Earth.

I'm sure his patients didn't care when he was healing them.  Liberals believe in man made global warming.  That stupidity trumps all else.

From Sarah Palin's FB page:

KAREN HANDEL FOR U.S. SENATE FROM GEORGIA

Margaret Thatcher often said: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." This quote rings true in the U.S. Senate race in Georgia in more ways than one. This year's elections are about who we send to Washington to help restore our country after six years of a disastrous administration. It's not about who has the best rhetoric, the loudest voice, or the best TV ads. It's about who we trust to keep their word to fight for conservative principles and grow our movement at the same time.

In the U.S. Senate race in Georgia, Karen Handel is just that candidate. Karen is a champion for protecting life and a proud voice in support of it – one we could use in the Senate. As Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, she made a name for herself fighting corruption, passing ethics reform, and recouping millions of dollars in stolen taxpayer money. She balanced the budget every year as well. As Georgia's first Republican Secretary of State, Karen took on the Obama administration to keep Photo-ID in place and ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in Georgia. She cut her department's waste by nearly 20%, and under her leadership, the Secretary of State's office became Georgia's first completely transparent agency by putting all the agency's expenses online for every taxpayer to see.

Karen has walked the walk when it comes to cutting government waste, providing ethical leadership, and fighting back against big bullying government. We can count on Karen to take her real life skills to Washington to help balance our budget, fight for lower taxes, and do everything she can to keep the government out of our lives.

Voters need to look carefully at a candidate's record. Look beyond the flashy campaign ads of establishment candidates and the bombastic rhetoric of candidates who claim to be the most conservative in the race. Listen to what Karen says in her debates and candidate forums, and you'll hear a true conservative leader who can win in November. This Georgia Senate race is very important to the Democrats and has long-term repercussions for 2016 as Democrats test the waters to see if they can win big in a red state with a woman candidate. That is why the GOP needs a strong contender like Karen Handel. She is the conservative candidate who can win this race and hold this seat for the GOP.

GOP voters in Georgia have many choices if they want something said, but Karen Handel is the only choice if we want something done. Karen will get the job done.

Please lend her your support in this critical Senate race. Trust me, you won't regret it.

This is an interesting endorsement in GA primary race. It is a crowded field to replace Saxby Chambliss with several conservatives. I would think in this crowded field this endorsement is quite meaningful. Please excuse the duplicate posting, but I could not delete one of them.
