"SNIP..............


Matthews repeatedly asked if he believed in evolution, which the scientific community widely accepts as fact. Pence would not outright answer the question, but implied that he instead subscribes to creationism.

MATTHEWS: Okay, you want to educate the American people about science and its relevance today. Do you believe in evolution, sir?

PENCE: Do I believe in evolution? I embrace the view that God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that’s in them.

MATTHEWS: Right. But do you believe in evolution as the way he did it?

PENCE: The means, Chris, that he used to do that, I can’t say. But I do believe in that fundamental truth.

It's utterly insane and SHOULD mean that you are never, ever going to even come close to holding any type of public office, let alone the Vice President of the United States.

It's unbelievable the level of stupidity that's required in order to be deemed worthy of a place on the repuke ticket these days. Unbelievable.

Whoda thunk that of the three shitbox tickets the repukes put up in 2008, 2012 and now this year that Team Big Brain would've been Willard and Eddie Muenster? Just take that in for a minute.
