New cards will be hacked within a month, and ALL the "secret" information hidden in the card will be made public within 6 months. New anti-counterfitting features rendered "useless", millions of taxpayer dollars down the tube. Yay bureaucracy!

"benefit of the doubt"? Why does the GOP get a pass on these? What would happen if a Democrat said this?
This was a leading Republican candidate for President. Possibly 2nd only to McCain. And this is the first thing that pops into his mind when he hears a strange noise? "Obama is getting shot"? It is what it is. And it stinks.

One possible case out of 100 complaints, and it's one guy who signed up TWO illegal signatures. No ties to the Democratic Party, no real plan to commit actual "voter fraud". Had they maybe layed low a while and investigated further maybe they can tie this guy to higher ups or to a larger more coordinated effort... Instead they jump the gun just so they can scream at the "evil liberals" and gain a few votes.... Quite possibly the 800 needed to beat Madrid. Party of values my ass...

McCain doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shia and Iranian Insurgents and Iraqi Extremists and Al Qaeda. Three times he repeated his ignorant statements regarding those factions. And this is the man that will be sending your children to the Middle East to protect our military bases that are not wanted there, to protect oil that does not belong to us, to protect "democratic" governments put in place by us...

I'll support Udall over Pearce (or Wilson) on 9 out of 10 issues (yes, kept count on Pearce's phone poll), but I do not like this ad for some reason. How does this tell less informed voters how Udall will perform as a New Mexico Senator? It seems like there are other issues that would suit him better than DWI...

I got a really odd phone "poll" last night. The questioner didn't seem really helpful or enthused at all, and in the end it was apparent that the only question she was really interested in was who I was supporting for president - - - So I lied and told her McCain 100%. They're gonna put me in the front row, this should be fun. :)

Both conveniently disguised as the equally ineffective "WAR on Terror". And you still think voters are stupid enough not to see the truth...

Re: Denver Post: Richardson should get Obama’s nod as VP

chupacabra — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 08:28:32 -0000

I imagine that choosing Richardson would only give Obama a bump in NM, for a measly 5 electoral votes. Surely there's someone else who would help Obama more in FL, OH, or MI, where he really needs help right now...

McCain HAS to choose Romney, he has no choice he NEEDS Michigan to win in November.

And if Obama takes Indiana or Virginia (which he might do anyway without Kaine or Bayh) he STILL would need Ohio or Florida. If Obama takes Ohio or Florida McCain is finished. Do you think Richardson might help him in Florida?

Now there are reports the McCain campaign (or someone pretending to be them) has sent out absentee ballots to New Mexicans who donated to Obama. Supposedly the return envelopes have the address for the wrong county. Other swing states have reported different problems with these absentee ballots, such as confusing instructions that could easily invalidate a vote. Where is main stream media on this? Who is responsible for sending out these misleading ballots?

Re: Unveiled: Aptera Typ-1 100% Electric and Series Hybrid Vehicles

chupacabra — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:47:37 -0000

I just did it..... I reserved mine, I'm #1288. I'm not one to get swept up and emotionally involved in new vehicles but this is the first hybrid I've seen that makes sense to me. Other hybrids offer "ok" performance but barely better then regular gasoline economy cars, for much more money. IE, I own a 36 MPG corolla now which I paid for with a personal check and it cost $14k. Or..... I can spend double that for a prius that gets ~15+ mpg more. Uh, yeah, not really making sense there. But double the cost for TEN TIMES the mileage? Um yeah, I'm so there.

I chose the hybrid model because I live in a condo and wouldn't have any way to plug it in right now until I can get a new place with a garage. I also do lots of very long distance driving from San Diego to San Francisco or Vegas. This will be great for that. I'm definitely going to look into some decals to customize it, if Aptera isn't offering anything cool I'll probably work with a local designer.

I'm amazed it can fit a 7' surfboard, though that means I'm going to have to either sell my death log or get a beater to go surfing with lol. What makes this so great is the reserve deposit is fully refundable. I can back out at any time if I don't like the insurance prospects, or see if the first few off the production line have major issues. I can't wait to get my aptera.

Signed,

Owner of #1288
