Rick Perry ......isn't he a Creationist??/ He may be...I don't particularly care if he is. What I care about is that he believes in smaller government. He believes in the 10th amendment. Jews believe in stuff that I don't believe in. I'd still vote for a jew if s/he was qualified. Lots of christians who believe in stuff that I don't believe in. I'd still vote for them if they have the right political beliefs and the strength to stick with them. Rick Perry being a creationist is as relevant to me as someone being gay or black or white or straight or female or male. Why do you care if he is a creationist?
