Away Game on Home Turf

I am not an immigrant-o-phobe or an illegal alien-o-phobe or an undocumented-whatever-o-phobe, but it is a little upsetting to know that when the US national soccer team plays a game on US soil, it's basically an away game. In a hypothetical game played in New York in 1927 between Ireland and the US, you wouldn't have caught any of my ancestors rooting for Ireland over their new country.

I'm open until I step into the polling booth, but have to admit a bias for Rudy b/c I've seen him in action and I think he is the more libertarian-minded candidate. For the record, I would even consider a Democrat if any one of them wasn't a complete affront to my belief in free market capitalism and my basic desire not to be incinerated by Muslim extremists.
