Others, myself included, would not, under most imaginable circumstances, vote for a fanatic or fundamentalist--a Hassidic Jew who regards Rabbi Menachem Schneerson as the Messiah, a Christian literalist who thinks that Earth is less than 7,000 years old, or a Scientologist who thinks it is haunted by the souls of space aliens sent by the evil lord Xenu. The biblical literalists on the Dover board went out and found a supplementary biology textbook published by creationists in Fort Worth.
