I don't want to turn this thread more political than I already have, but her actual wording was that he "pals around with terrorists," which -- to me -- is a very subtle way of making a direct association without saying it. Again, I don't condone the booing, but let's also be realistic in that both sides tend not to show their classier side this close to a presidential election.

What about those of us who are Republican?

Oh, and it's 'they're', not 'their'...

It is typical Philly. I lived there for many years and was always amazed at how little restraint there was from fans and such. One football game (Eagles) I was in the VERY LAST ROW of the stadium and was SHOCKED at how mean the crowd was to the other team fans. Throwing things on them just for supporting their team. Awful. Classless.
As for Palin...I don't know the genders on here of who writes what, but I hope a lot of you are not women. You don't have to like her or agree with her politics, but you don't have to cut her down. Women always do that to one another (I know, I am a woman) and it is sad. Show some kindness. If you don't like her, you don't have to cheer but you don't have to boo either.
Personally, on another note, I am undecided who I am going to vote for. Obama lacks experience in my book and McCains healthcare doesn't make sense to me. Biden seems like a yes man and Palin seems intelligent yet naive. It will be a game time decision on my part. But I promise you this: I will not be making my choice b/c someone is a woman, or b/c someone is black, or b/c someone is ____ fill in the blank.

Yes, but spelling it correctly doesn't make you one.

Go ahead and tell us one thing she did for Alaska that was positive on all ends?
