The Profundities of the Stupidities

Wow, McCain just gets more desperate and pathetic each day:

A recent poll found that 55 percent of Americans believe the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation. What do you think?
I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation.


George Washington, your opinion?

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." Treaty of Tripoli, 1797.


Naturally, it goes without saying that the modern GOP would call that George Washington was the original General Betrayus.

And believe it or not, McCain becomes even more pathetic:

For years, you've been identified as an Episcopalian. You recently began referring to yourself as a Baptist. Why?
[It was] one comment on the bus after hours. I meant to say that I practice in a—I am a Christian and I attend a Baptist church. I am very aware that immersion is part—as my wife Cindy has done—is necessary to be considered a Baptist. So I was raised Episcopalian, I have attended the North Phoenix Baptist Church for many years and I am a Christian.

What prevents you from taking that final step of undergoing the baptism?

I've had discussions with the pastor about it and we're still in conversation about it. In the meantime, I am a practicing Christian.

So the baptism is something you still might do?
Oh, sure, yeah. But, some of the factors haven't got so much to do with religion as they have to do with just—I'm in conversations with [my] pastor about it, as short a time ago as last week. But I would not anticipate going through that during this presidential campaign. I am afraid it might appear as if I was doing something that I otherwise wouldn't do.


I'm going to have to stop now as one of my eyes has literally rolled itself right out of my head.
