In the most recent CNN/YouTube debate among GOP candidates, 24-year-old Joseph Dearing of Dallas asked the candidates:
"Do you believe every word of the Bible?"
And then, according to yesterday’s DMN article, Mr. Dearing was disappointed in all the candidates’ answers, which he felt skirted what he was driving at (though I’m still not sure what answer he was looking for — the DMN reporter, frustratingly, either didn’t ask Mr. Dearing what answer he was looking for and what his motivation for asking the question, or asked and didn’t print his response.) I gather, however, that he was looking for a simple "yes."
Anyway, it was an interesting if overly simplistic question that has spurred plenty of comments and debate on CNN’s political ticker blog. Click on the link and you’ll also get a glimpse of Dearing.
