The pandering to the religious right never seems to end for McCain. Beliefnet has just posted an interview on religion and politics. Some of the gems from the interview:
Q: It doesn’t seem like a Muslim candidate would do very well, according to that standard.
A: I admire the Islam. There’s a lot of good principles in it. I think one of the great tragedies of the 21st century is that these forces of evil have perverted what’s basically an honorable religion. But, no, 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…Q:A recent poll found that 55 percent of Americans believe the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation. What do you think?
A: I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation…
Q:Have you ever prayed with President Bush?
A:No, I’ve never been asked to do so.
Godfather Dobson’s not buying it–does McCain really think anyone is?
