The GOP sure knows how to pick them

Marco Rubio is unsure how old the Earth is. He is a member of the Senate’s Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee.

Michele “Man-Made Climate Change is ‘Manufactured Science” Bachmann sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

The soon-to-be forgotten moron on climate change, Todd “legitimate rape” Akin, sits on the Science Committee, as does Paul Evolution, Embryology and Big Bang Theory are “lies straight from the pit of hell, Climate Change is a Hoax” Broun.

Accepting reality and scientific findings isn’t the GOP’s strong suit.

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), a skeptic of man-made global warming, is set to take over the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology in the 113th Congress.

He also referred to environmentalists and others who warn about the seriousness of the issue as “global warming alarmists.”

Dems, please do your activist thing and help us win back the House in 2014. Then maybe we’ll get an informed representative with a functioning brain, common sense, and contemporary sensibilities to chair the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.
