And more pleasing to his God.

the Christian right is on the other side.

Punting in this circumstance is the only option.

If you openly say "God called upon me to run for high political office", why are religious belief questions never to be asked?

that Hobbesian war of all against all Libertarian/Rand agenda gets pushed. And who knows what the beady-eyed shitweasel really "thinks." You can't run for national office as a Repuke if you say that you believe that evolution is correct, as it undoubtedly is.

as long as it appealed to the teaparty or "the stupids"

Their agenda is so important, so detailed and planned out, they will do whatever it takes.

OTOH, maybe they do it so much for so long that they start to believe it themselves.

Savvy advisors cover a lot ot of pols' stupudity. Willful ignorance is rampant among Repubs.

Some of these guys are smart scumbags but Walker isn't even in that category. Dropped out of Marquette (and there's probably a story there as well). He's just a useful idiot for David Koch.

Are there any out there?

His new handlers have him on a very tight leach!!
But not answering these type questions will only work against him! IMHO

In a speech short on policy and heavy on restraint, Gov. Scott Walker addressed Great Britain's most prominent think tank Wednesday, avoiding difficult foreign affairs questions while emphasizing the "special relationship" between the world's largest Anglophone countries.

The Republican governor sought in his speech to bolster his scant foreign policy credentials ahead of his likely presidential run even as he largely declined to tackle the toughest questions on international affairs and a variety of other subjects. In his last response, Walker declined to answer a question and follow-up from his interviewer about whether evolution was real, saying politicians were better off steering clear of that issue.

"I'm going to punt on that one as well," Walker said. "I'm here to talk about trade, not to pontificate about other things."

After Walker declined to state his views on evolution, the event's moderator, Justin Webb of BBC Radio 4, told him that he believed any British politician would answer such a question by making clear that he or she believed evolution was true. Walker's campaign spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

On international affairs questions, Walker largely answered by saying he subscribed to the "old-fashioned" approach of not criticizing the U.S. president or the host country while outside the United States.

"I just don't think you talk about foreign policy while you're on foreign soil," Walker said, adding later, "I don't think it's wise to undermine your own president" in such situations...........................

something like this:

Are you comfortable with the idea that the Earth is only 6,000 years old?

Are you comfortable with the idea that co2 does not contribute to global warming to any extent?

Are you comfortable with the idea that the great flood found in Genesis was a true historical event where Noah saved two of every species?

Are you comfortable with the idea that a major conflagration in the middle east will signal the ultimate battle between good and evil where God will return to earth to judge humanity?

From what I've seen of the Kochs, they'll gladly let Walker feed the rightwing even when it's talking things they don't personally believe.

Scott Walker is the closest thing yet to Koch's directly controlling the marionette.

I punt on the Theory of evolution is simply showing how not prime time he is. That's a wheel house type question. Got to hit those ones if you want to be president.

Obviously the Brits realized they were speaking with an under educated, scripted mouth (no brain).

1 - is he afraid that the fundamentalist won't support him if he believes in real science and facts?
2 - is he so lacking in intellect he just hasn't formed an opinion
3 - does he actually not believe in evolution, but doesn't want to sound stupid to those who do notice facts and who care about science

Either way, epic fail, he just looks really stupid on an international stage. Bet the journalists were snickering.

Well, now we know just how he would handle that "3 AM Phone Call".

why would it not work for Walker or Perry?
maybe Walker should start wearing glasses.

but when a senate candidate in Kentucky hems and haws over whether she voted for PBO, it's national news...

candidates going to England? What do they gain by it? The British don't like them all that much, and it provides numerous opportunities for them to show off their idiocy. It benefits us more than them.

The only punting he should be doing is on the Thames. Wouldn't it be fun if he fell in?

...Republican primary voters.

And he cannot admit his opinion in public, about one of the basics of biology?

It is no wonder the world thinks we are stupid.

he should have said I'm going to kick a field goal on 4th down from the 1

no one serious about running for President "punts" on a simple question like that. You are not ready for prime time Scotty.

and this is the guy now leading the GOP pack?

Unbelievable!
