McCain says no to Muslim president? He prefers someone grounded on Christian beliefs, who knows the righteous path of blah blah. What the hell, McCain? Isn't that kind of a blanket statement. There are over a billion Muslims on the planet. Maybe this was an underhanded attack towards democrat Keith Ellison who took his oath of office on the Qur'an instead of the New International Version of the Christian bible. How asinine of a Christian political figure who has no problems with Catholics (The Inquisition?) or Mormons (Mountain Meadows Massacre?). As quoted McCain really wants a president who "...has a solid grounding in my faith." After all America was founded on Christian Ideology and we have never done anything wrong ever, ever. Now granted he was giving this interview to Beliefnet (gee I wonder who they represent?), but c'mon! You are making Mitt Romney look religiously liberal.
This unilateral thinking is the same reason red America complains every time a someone other than a white protestant male is mentioned in the same sentence as presidency. I think McCain just spent too much time in the Hanoi Hilton and its finally catching up to him. Remember when he was the "moderate" Republican candidate?
Maybe a Wiccan midget should run for office just to see if he has a stroke.
Funny note: On the Office this last week Steve Carrel's character had this to say about god, "If god didn't exist, why are there so many churches? And who is Jesus' dad?"

OK-NO OBJECTION TO THE CONCEPT of a Muslim president. Not going to vote
for anybody except to get Bush out.
Most people don't have any idea how evil he is.
Can we blame human evil on the religion or history of participants in a single event? This happened in wartime. I think people disn't understand how hard, how genocidal,
Mormon History had been. They would have raised a Army from California and many more people on all sides would have died.
I'm just glad I was born a hundred years later.
