"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," McCain said. "But that doesn't mean that I'm sure that someone who is Muslim would not make a good president."

Later, McCain said, "I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the candidate best able to lead the country and defend our political values." He added that "the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation."

And to think that I used to like this guy.

What would you like him to say?

this is a non-issue, in my opinion.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Is this the guy that makes chips ?

They shouldn't be, Christains & Jews worked hand-in-hand to build this country.

Oh now that the Jews have a conflict with a Republican the board livens up but when I wish everybody a Happy Rashashana all I get is crickets.

People only feed off the Negative around here. Next year make a topic about how Rashashana sucks. Post Galore.

As for McCain. He can lick my taint. Biggest hypocrite in a long time. Not just a few of his views has changed since 2000. His whole belief system has changed.

Negativity sells. Good is boring.

OMGNOES a person has expressed his opinion on his ideal president! God forbid we have preferences for the man who will be president! I am sure there are no Jews that want a Jewish president.

Well if we had a Jewish Prez. Everything would be a lot cheaper, & the Economy would get better.ZING!

 

[Victarion]

I think he was saying that he would prefer a Christian president to a Mormon president, ie targeting Mitt Romney.

dreidels for everyone!

 

[bored]

Meh. He's been pandering to the religious right a bit, is that a shock? It was still idiotic for him to say it in the first place, but at least he took it back. Some people don't even make that effort.

"Rosh Hashanah". Just a nitpick.

poor mccain , all he said was that he prefered a president that shared his same faith( which makes sense) , the guy is entitled to his opinion.

 

[Hotwire]

What would you like him to say?

Well, I would hope he would not be seeking to legislate religion as a requirement for the president's office.

But, religion is not allowed to dictate this decision, nor is it allow to be a requirement.

 

[chaseter]

No Jews for president because when Jesus comes back they might try to kill him again.

 

[Kritish]

I'm still holding out for an atheist president, besides Borat taught me that Jews are evil.

 

[Hotwire]

Aren't lots of accountants Jewish? If that's the case, then perhaps a Jewish president could balance the budget!

I hope you realize I am jokeing.
