Oh. My. God.

From the delightful PZ MYers, anogther post on Republicans and evolution. Since I tend to equate "belief" in evolution with a willingness to trust empirical evidence and rational conjecture, you can imagine what I think of the Republican candidates jumping on the "I don't believe" bandwagon. The quotes are priceless. My favorite is from the comments:
