McCain Pushes To Put Jesus On Dollar Bill
We’ve just discovered CAP News:
Republican Presidential candidate John McCain today called upon the United States to pay homage to its alleged Christian roots by replacing George Washington on the $1 bill with a more appropriate image, that of Jesus Christ.
The plea surprised some political analysts, who had assumed that McCain’s reference to the U.S. as a ‘Christian nation’ in a recent Beliefnet interview was nothing more than pandering to the base.
. . .
While critics were quick to quietly question McCain’s motives and the costs associated with such a massive overhaul of the nation’s most popular currency bill, McCain’s fellow Republican Presidential candidates were left scrambling to one-up the senator with their own monetary proposals.
The race’s only Mormon, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, said he would put a smiling Jesus on multiple bills, noting, “I want to see the same thing when I open my wallet as I do when I open my bedroom door: many smiling faces.”
For former New York mayor and terrorism-survivor Rudy Giuliani, Jesus would only adorn the $20 bill.
“What is 20? 9+11. Need I say more?” Giuliani said.
