Tea Party candidate taken behind the woodshed by an old man asking a simple question

RE: Tea Party candidate taken behind the woodshed by an old man asking a simple question
Quote:Mr. McDaniel responded to his support for federal spending by saying, “you do so by adding trillions on my children’s back, trillions of dollars we can’t recover from. Our country borrows 46 cents on every dollar.” Mr. Davis interrupted and said, “I don’t want this rote answer. I want to know how you will accomplish it.”

Mr. McDaniel backed away and sat down, and Mr. Davis was surrounded and eventually sent away by the octogenarians who had gathered to hear from the candidate.
Perhaps those octogenarians were curious as to how much of that reduction in federal spending would come at the expense of their medical care, and wanted Mr. Davis to leave so that Mr. McDaniel could in fact explain how he'd cut those federal dollars. And perhaps more importantly, where.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
