Hiding their real beliefs - Candidates bob and weave

It's fun to watch religious evangelical Republican presidential candidates try to downplay their out-of-fashion-yet-biblically-based religious views. If they try to defend them, they look stupid (see Rick Santorum and the paper towel analogy), so they obfuscate, try to hide the truth of their idiotic beliefs.

Rick Perry gets cornered by a kid asking him about evolution. The Bachmanns have to lie about their de-gaying treatment, and Michele is forced to walk back from saying the recent earthquake and hurricane in the northeast was God trying to get the attention of the politicians.

Makes me want to ask them, If your Bible is true, then your biblical beliefs are correct why would you ever apologize for them or deny them in order to get elected to public office?

It's only going to get better, folks.
