McCain about Mormons: I Don't Know If They Are Christians


From TPM:
John McCain's remarks about America being founded in the Constitution as a Christian nation have opened him up to getting a lot more questions about his religion — and the religions of other candidates.
At a meeting with the Spartanburg Herald-Journal editorial board, McCain was asked whether Mormons are Christians — a serious issue with many evangelicals, and a potential pitfall for Mitt Romney.
"I don't know. I respect their faith. I've never frankly looked at the Mormon religion. I've known a lot of Mormons who are wonderful people," McCain said. "More importantly, I don't think it should be held against Gov. Romney. The fact that he's a Mormon should not be a factor in people's judgment."

SPB it's time you invested in a Senior Home now that you know alot of candidates that will need it.

McCain was every religion and now he doesn't know about Mormons. If they came out and said they would vote for him or give him money you bet he would know everything about Mormons.

Maybe he should have a cup of coffee with Mitt to find out.
