A commenter on my previous article asked whether John McCain supports intelligent design or not. After a quick google I can happily say the answer is yes.

McCain sounds like presidential hopeful

As the Gallup Poll noted, McCain has a generally consistent conservative voting record but forged a national reputation after a series of notable breaks with fellow Republicans.
On Tuesday, though, he sided with the president on two issues that have made headlines recently: teaching intelligent design in schools and Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who has come to personify the anti-war movement.
McCain told the Star that, like Bush, he believes “all points of view” should be available to students studying the origins of mankind.

I wonder what Barack Hussein Obama has to say about Intelligent Design. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

larrynormanfan, his full name is Barack Hussein Obama. I doubt that many readers of this blog would vote for Obama over McCain in the first place. But the ones that would, will certainly not be deterred by the fact that DaveScot spells out his middle name. In the end, I would venture, it's going to help Obama more than it will hurt.hrun0815

If you're going to insult Barack Obama, try spelling his name right and as he uses it. The only reason to include his his middle name is as an anti-Muslim dog whistle. That's beneath you.larrynormanfan

Bush supported ID, but that didn't do much for the situation. Forgive me if I don't get my hopes up over politicians voicing support for ID. I'm more interested in questions about academic freedom, which ID is central to, and which I think will have the bigger impact. (The science of ID speaks for itself, without the need of consensus or political backing.)Atom
