I lost virtually all respect for McCain the minute it became clear he had no problem compromising those “straight-talk” principles to pander to the religious right. This comment destroyed whatever minuscule shred of respect I had left for the man, and I’m about as secular a Jew as you’ll ever meet.

What makes it even worse is your very valid points about the US being a Christian culture, if not an officially Christian nation. The fact that the vast majority of people in our society are unwilling to fully separate religion from politics is disheartening and deeply offensive to me, but then again, I suppose logic flies right out the window when you’re willing to believe that an all-powerful invisible white guy and his kid are talking to you on a regular basis.

Thank you, Sam. This is illuminating. I particularly McC’s line in which he talks about defending “political” values. Seems a rather narrow outlook, methinks.
