McCain: Pride and Prejudice

As I read the Sunday newspaper while sitting in the livingroom of my home in Mesa, Arizona, I came across an interesting article about Arizona's senior U.S. Senator and United States presidential aspirant, John McCain.
Apparently, the Senator in whom many Arizonans have so much pride has shown his true colors inn the area of religious prejudice. The article "U.S. is better off with Christian president, McCain says" reports on how McCain does not desire to see a Muslim as President and that he thinks a Mormom might be okay. The article makes no mention of what thoughts McCain has on other religions such as Judaism, Hinduism, Zaoism, etc., etc.; nor does the article report on McCain's thoughts on atheists and agnostics. Whatever McCain's thoughts are in those areas is anyone's guess at this point. But, there is no doubt that McCain has made it clear that he believes the best person to serve as President of the United States should be Christian.
What other prejudices does John McCain hold near and dear to his heart? Do his prejudicial opinions stop at being beliefs or does McCain also take action on those thoughts in the form of discriminatory practices?
I can't help but wonder what the U.S. Senator and former Vice President nominee, Joe Lieberman, thinks of his senatorial colleague.
My thoughts: McCain has just ruled himself out of being Presidential material.

UPDATE: The embedded link above for the Arizona newspaper article does not appear to be working for everyone, and therefore, as an alternative, I suggest you read the NY Daily News article McCain: No Muslim president, U.S. better off with Christian one by Helen Kennedy.

The Jewish News of Greater Phoenix has an article entitled Straight Talk about the comments by their U.S. Senator, John McCain.
