Do Republicans believe in evolution. As reported by Kevin Drum, The New Republic decided to ask 15 leading rightwing intellectuals, and the results were shocking:
- 8 said yes: David Frum, Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer, William F. Buckley, James Taranto, David Brooks, Richard Brookhiser, and Ramesh Ponnuru.
- 3 said no: Grover Norquist, Stephen Moore, and Pat Buchanan.
- 4 waffled or declined to answer: Bill Kristol, John Tierney, Tucker Carlson, and Norman Podhoretz.
And remember, these are Republican "intellectuals" -- if anyone in the Republican party can figure out that evolutionary science is not a debatable point, it should be these folks. God knows what the percentages are in the NASCAR set.
