sorry about the waterboarding, we were just baptizing you!

There isn't enough water in the solar system to wash away this asshole's sins.

I hope someone takes a leak in the water. I would like to see him water boarded instead if he no longer thinks its torture.

The Nicene creed which most Christians subscribe to says "I believe in ONE baptism for the foregiveness of sins..." There are no do overs. I can only conclude that he was never baptized in the first place or doesn't know much about his religion. But it's a private thing. Ya!

It is not the Nicene Creed that matters. It is the Gospel of John Chapter 3. Nicea is where the wheels of Christianity came off, never to be recovered. Boys in skirts, gay boys in skirts.

I'm greatly comforted to know that Sen Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Iran McCain believes in the Judeo-Christian value of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". What a great guy!

water on the brain!

isn't that a bad thing???

[JiminNC]

Holy water won't take that off John.

Does anyone thing that some Christians might be insulted by this blatant pandering?

[Syco]

I bet the water boils when he touches it

[MetalCanuck]

I hope somebody takes a leak in it.

Is there nothing that (some of) these candidates won't do to PANDER to the the fringe voters? Nothing so low or stupid to gain a vote?

Will Hagee the BOZO perform the ceremony? Will it be FULL IMMERSION or just a few drips?

Will it be captured on DVD?

Whatever happened to McCain the Maverick?

[markusmarkus]

The new baptism for repentent rethugs - waterboarding!

[lvogt]

Shameless pandering

[ThePhilosopher]

Does he realize how damaging this would be for his campaign? It would be and would be perceived as the ultimate act of political pandering. Please do it, McCain!

Honestly, McCain has absolutely no skill when it comes to making effective political maneuvers, a fact this is going to become increasingly obvious as this campaign moves forward.

A worthy successor to the president who's 'born again' didn't take.

[AdamX]

I guess the first on didn't hold.

John McCain . . . you embarrass me.
