Some places in the US more 'pro-American' than others

Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden ripped into recent comments by his repugican counterpart that suggested that some places in the U.S. are more "pro-America" than others.

Alaska governor Sarah Pale-lyn told a fundraiser in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday night:

"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation," she said.

"This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans," Pale-lyn added.

At a rally in Mesilla, New Mexico, on Friday, Biden responded to those comments in a vociferous tone.

"I hope it was just a slip on her part and she doesn't really mean it. But she said, it was reported she said, that she likes to visit, 'pro-American' parts of the country," he said to loud boos.

"It doesn't matter where you live, we all love this country, and I hope it gets through. We all love this country," he said. "We are one nation, under God, indivisible. We are all patriotic. We all love our country in every part of this nation! And I'm tired. I am tired, tired, tired, tired of the implications about patriotism."

I guess we are not 'pro-American' around here then because the repugicans won't come here to met us face to face.

And here's a hint for the repugicans ... Greensboro, NC is not 'pro-American' either since the area there is solidly behind Obama as we are here.

Why they went there to stage a fake rally is obvious - they need a 'everyday American crowd' to show the the nation - only thing is the size of the 'crowd' could be counted without the add of a calculator or even paper and pencil for that matter.

It's pathetic and getting even more pathetic.

And as John Cleese said right now America is viewed as the village idiot of the world and as he also said that view would vanish the instant Obama is elected on November 4, 2008
