McCain Calls Western PA "Most" Patriotic, God-Loving Part Of The Country

21 Oct 2008 07:59 pm

Just like dark energy in the universe, one could very well assume that patriotism is evenly distributed across the country. Certainly, some parts of the country are more God-loving' than others, but that's simply a factor of the distribution of atheists and agnostics. And, actually, given the density of cities, there are probably more God-loving people in urban areas than there are outside urban areas.

This just isn't so, according to Sen. John McCain.   One area of the country wins the God-loving, patriotic contest.

Here's what he said tonight.

Referring to Rep. Jack Murtha's remarks on the region's alleged racism, McCain said: "I think you may have noticed that Sen. Obama's supporters are saying some pretty nasty things about Western Pennsylvania lately."

McCain: "And you know, I couldn't agree with them more."

"I couldn't disagree with you."

"I couldn't agree with you more than the fact that Western Pennsylvania is the most patriotic, most God-loving, most patriotic part of America... this is a great part of the country."

Forget about McCain blowing the line...

MOST patriotic?

MOST God-loving?
