Another political ad from Obama attacking McCain's 1000 year war.
How to Steal Another Election
"It was revealed in the course of last summer's landmark virus hack of a Diebold touch-screen voting system at Princeton University that, incredibly, the company uses the same key to open every machine. It's also an easy key to buy at any office supply store since it's used for filing cabinets and hotel mini-bars! That is, if you're not a poll worker who already has one from the last time you worked on an election (anybody listening down there in San Diego?)."
In case you're one of the unlucky people who does not have an old copy of a Diebold key, apparently some people have successfully used a photo of the master key published on Diebold's website to create a working key.

McCain in his own words is not the best when it comes to the economy:
Presidential Candidate McCain on the economy and Iraq:
Presidential candidate John McCain at a small town hall meeting stating that "maybe a hundred years" or war "would be fine with me,"
Republican presidential candidate John McCain sings BOMB BOMB BOMB Iran to illustrate how serious war should be taken.

I say to vote for MCCain you will be voting for another george Bush.
I agree MysticWind. And Lord we don't need that. I don't think the US can take any more "Bush" types.
I am a bad American who in her indecisiveness opted to forgo the primary caucus this evening. I have more than one excuse to try and wiggle my way out of my civic duty, but I am not sure if my conscience is buying it.
It is a caucus and by the very nature exclusionary. Anyone who wants a say must be present at 7pm and stay until the very end for their selection to count. In other words, military personnel, hospital workers, convenient store clerk, and thousands of others who cannot show up and dedicate their evening are voiceless. No absentee ballots, and tardiness is unexcused.
The caucus is conducted at the county level and the expected turnout is around 1000 and the fire code stipulates no more than 800 people are allowed into the caucus location.
Did I mention that the party estimates the caucus will take approximately 4-5 hours because they use an archaic system of requiring everyone in the county to meet in the same location. Most other caucuses are done on a precinct level in order to facility people in different locations and to reduce the needed time.
It is my belief that voting should be a private secret ballot. A voter should be allowed a sincere vote absent of influence or intimidation. The stakes are too high for peer pressure to be permissible when it comes to selecting our government officials.
Caucuses require that you declare your support for a candidate before your neighbors and then there is a stage where individuals will try and sway you from your initial choice. Perhaps this was a suitable method when candidate information was not readily available, but technology and 24 hours news media have allowed the public to be incredibly informed when it comes to the presidential candidates.
Perhaps I should also toss out that I at 7pm when the doors were shutting at the caucus location that neither candidates had my full support. I knew the issues, the leadership differences, and my own answers to the electability question. How can I vote for someone that I am not sold on? I can’t.
The caucuses are truly unfair, and I stand by that assertion.
But not participating is a very foreign concept for me. I did vote on the bond issue, which brings up a whole other argument against caucuses. The city held a vote that democrats and republicans could participate in at their precinct and then go to their respective party’s caucuses later in the evening. One catch- volunteers who work the polls would not be able to make it to the caucus before the doors were shut.
The more I vent about the caucuses, the easier it is for me to live with decision to spend the evening in my pjs, drinking bitch beer, and watching the unfolding victories and losses. Hopefully at some point I can justify my lack of attendance as a protest to the exclusionary nature of caucuses. Hopefully.
