John McCain loves him some God
Via Ambinder, McCain praises Western Pennsylvania’s apparently uber-religiosity:
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.”
The funny thing about this kind of rhetoric is that of the two candidates, Obama is clearly the most comfortable discussing his religious beliefs, and religion in general. Considering that, hearing McCain slather on this kind of praise is just kind of awkward.
