Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who has long identified himself as an Episcopalian, said this weekend that he is a Baptist and has been for years.

Campaigning in this conservative, predominantly Baptist state, McCain called himself a Baptist when speaking to reporters Sunday and noted that he and his family have been members of the North Phoenix Baptist Church in his home state of Arizona for more than 15 years.

"It's well known because I'm an active member of the church," the Arizona senator said.

McCain is a joke.

He is a non entity now.

Please devote valuable Huff post space to important issues.

I saw on Crooks and Liars how the phone jamming NH scandal investigation was tampered with so the WH wasn't investigated. Inform people.

If you have to give space to McCain put him under Entertainment, because if nothing else he is the funniest joke of all.

Of course he's gone Baptist. The Episcopal Church is opening it's doors to Gay/Lesbians. He can't be anti-Gay/Lesbian and profess to be Episcopalian so he opts for a church that's anti EVERYTHING but going to church every Wednesday and twice on Sundays!

I'm sure McCain meant to say that he was a lapsedist.

Who gives a damn? How many people have killed other people in the name of their religion. Very few people actually do God's bidding.

God said thou shalt not kill...per­iod.

I wish men of all religions would for once do God's bidding and quit perverting their faith to justify their own evil agendas.

"God said thou shalt not kill...per­iod."

Subsequent to that the big grumpy fella ordered the children of Israel to slaughter everything that lived in the cities they conquered so he was a mite flexible on the "Thou shalt not kill" thing

And for goodness sake, if you bump into him in the liquor store, don't be offended if he doesn't acknowledge you.

That was a slip of the tongue. McCain meant to say, "I'm a prostitute­."

And if you happen to bump into him at the liquor store, he'll appreciate it if you act like you don't know him.

Kennedy said, "Ich bin Ein Berliner" in Germany.
What is the difference.

McCain Should go to Utah and say he is a Mormon.

Bush is from Maine and Connecticut and calls himself a Texan.

Hillary says she is a New Yorker from Chicago.

They sure are ....plus a lot of other things! That must be the reason he looked so clinically depressed today on Meet the Press. He expression and voice are flat as a pancake...­.that while he was speaking about a subject on which he has strong feelings ~ IRAQ.

He would sell his pet rock collection to be President and then we would have another go at rigidity, petulence and deceit!

Go for that nice, safe stroll in the Baghdad park that you keep talking about, McCain. Then we'll be rid of your warmongering lies.
