    Faith on sleeve

    One of the few things I like about McCain is that he doesn't seem to wear his faith on his sleeve like Obama feels he has to.

    Yeah, I guess all that talk about activist judges and life beginning AT conception was all just fluff and pandering. The fact that he listed all judges that were supportive of Roe v. Wade as judges he doesn't like, that was all just pandering to the silly people in church he doesn't agree with. The emphasis on this being a Christian nation by McCain, more talk.

    The McCain of old (2000) is gone, so he's either changed to the RW'er he is today (very possible, we all change) or he's a liar.

    p.s. Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Putin don't wear their religion on their sleeve either, that doesn't make me respect them more.
