One stated that many black people don't believe in evolution because they think Darwin was a racist.

Schmolls! For anyone paying attention assumptions based on polls… <i>i.e. "The Congress (32 approve / 53 disapprove - Fox - 5/15/07) is LESS POPULAR than the President (34 approve / 56 disapprove - Fox - 5/15/07)"</i> often have nothing to do with ‘political reality’. Thinking people realize that MOST REPUBLICANS disapprove of Congress because of what they perceive as congressional lack of support for Republican policy and programs; and, MOST DEMOCRATS disapprove of Congress because of what they perceive as congressional lack of support for Democrat policy and programs. Hell, I’m surprised that Congresses approval is as high as it is BUT George Bush is reigning (pun intended) “Pariah du jour”. Polls… Schmolls!
