…so much for saving our democracy.
I could look beyond some racist comments in Ron Paul’s newsletter from way back because he a) didn’t write them and b) disavows them now. It’s not clear how much editorial control he exerted at the time, but saying stupid things and correcting them later is a mark of growth, not an automatic rejection for me.
But I can’t look past a candidate’s views that the theory of evolution is not correct. That’s a sign of mental incompetence, especially to be a doctor and not understand how genetics works. It’s one thing to say that God created the universe to function as it does, evolution being a natural part. You could even claim that God created the universe 6000 years ago to resemble one that evolved over billions of years (God only knows why?).
However, to simply reject the theory is simply retarded. No more money from me, Doctor.
Here’s a clip of him saying it pretty much directly.
