A Mormon setting Alcohol and Tobacco policy?
A young-earth creationist directing science funding?

I would contend that despite their best attempts to remain unbiased, that these individuals would be hard pressed to set policy that would truly reflect the public's best interest.

You are assuming he does not believe in evolution, which he has stated he does, and you are assuming he is incompetent in his job, which no one has stated facts to support. If either of those were true, certainly I would not support him in that department. And if future facts prove that is the case, I will retract my present position, that as to date, this is pure and simple overreaction.
