Republican Scientist Won't Support Conspiracy Theorists(Romney or Santorum)

‘I. WILL. NEVER. VOTE. FOR. A. CONSPIRACY. THEORIST.’
Barry Bickmore, a geochemistry professor, Mormon, and active Republican, draws a line on climate science between the “wishy-washy” Mitt Romney and the “conspiracy theorist” Rick Santorum. “I can’t put someone like that in charge of the most powerful military force on the planet–no matter what a second term for Obama might mean for the economy or the make-up of the Supreme Court. This is where my loyalty to the Republican team ends. I encourage like-minded Republicans to show up to the primaries and Just Say No to Conspiracy Theorists.”

How can you be a scientist when your world view requires you to choose belief over fact?
