Compelling comments have been made that make me retract the posting of my earlier thoughts. This diary - about McCain and the cross - has been deleted, but I'd like to preserve the comments other bloggers made as a hat tip to them. Y'all were right, I should have fleshed out my rationalization more; this was more of a comment than a diary. Oops, my bad, my apologies!
Yes, I'm embarassed for having posted this as a diary, as well I should be.
