Default Breaking: GOP Candidates Don't Believe in Earthquakes

Breaking News: GOP candidates for president unanimously say they do not believe in earthquakes.

Rick Perry says he has never felt one, so concludes that scientists are fabricating the data.

Michelle Bachmann says only God would have the power to move the earth, but that they cannot be real because they are not mentioned in the Bible.

Rick Santorum said it wasn't an earthquake, more like a frothy mix.

Ron Paul says that earthquakes are not consistent with the intent of the nation's founders, who included nothing about earthquakes in our Constitution.

Newt Gingrich said you couldn't feel it in Hawaii.

Mitt Romney apologized for once believing in earthquakes when he was governor of Massachusetts.

Chris Christie said it's nobody's damn business if he felt it or not.

Sarah Palin said it was the fault of the gotcha liberal media and Obama.

Tim Pawlenty said earthquakes are bad.

Joe Biden said it was a big effing deal.

Congressman Joe Wilson said, "You lie!"

John Huntsman said something, but sadly no one was listening.

LOL. Hey, Huntsman is keeping himself in the race, via Twitter and interviews, and doing a good job of it A sane voice in GOP land.

Versus Rick Perry, who imploded after merely one week of exposing his own stupidity and contradicting his own words.

Good lord, the GOP evangelical field is sad. Maybe that's why god centered an earthquake under Paul Ryans congressional district?

I like Huntsman a lot but do not really think he is a "viable" candidate to the current group.

He's a normal, sane "regular" Republican from the 20th century historical perspective of the party. The type of GOP candidate I spent my life voting for.

In the crazy minority of Evangelical Land, Huntsman is doomed. But in America, he'd play very well. I think it's smart of him to just lay low out of the cage match, and keep up offering sanity via Twitter and interviews. The sane notice, the crazy won't control the next election as they think they will.

The Weather Channel says today's east coast earthquake was caused by an unknown fault line running under D.C. and through Virginia. It is now being called Obama's Fault, though Obama will say it's really Bush's Fault. Other theories are that this was the founding fathers rolling over in their graves or what we all believed to be an earthquake was actually the effects of a 14.6 trillion dollar check bouncing in Washington..

And this from the White House..

The President has just confirmed that the DC earthquake yesterday occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault".
