“I admire the Islam. There’s a lot of good principles in it,” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said. “But I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith.” He added, “I think the number one issue people should make [in the] selection of the President of the United States is, ‘Will this person carry on in the Judeo Christian principled tradition that has made this nation the greatest experiment in the history of mankind?’”
I don’t mind him thinking it. I really mind him saying it. There can be no reason for him to say it except to play to the Religious Right. People of faith who are rational might well vote for a strong Christian Candidate. That’s fine. Liberals vote for Candidates that support certain social programs. But McCain is appealing to people who want to make America a Christian Nation – that’s the insane Jerry Falwell Legacy [Let him rest in peace]…
