Company acknowledges voting machine error

A major voting machine maker has notified its customers in 34 states that a programming error discovered during testing may cause votes to be dropped when they are uploaded to a computer server from the machines' vote-holding memory cards.

Premier Election Solutions Inc. supplies touch-screen voting systems as well as scanners for paper ballots to large and small customers throughout the nation. The error communicated in a Tuesday product advisory occurs when multiple memory cards are being uploaded at the same time, and it is more likely to occur in jurisdictions that have several voters and use touch-screen voting systems, said Premier spokesman Chris Riggall.

The Allen, Texas-based Premier is a unit of North Canton-based Diebold Inc.

Kind of like this one. He doens't know what the fuck principle means or he is intentionally ignorant. To him principle is calling someone a liar when you yourself lie. Calling someone an elitist when your head is so high in the sky you think the people are ants and deserved to be stepped on.

TWO FORMER GOP CONGRESSMEN TO U.S. COMBAT FORCES WORLDWIDE: MCCAIN UNFIT TO SERVE AS YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF

Ex-Reps. Warn Troops: As Senator He Abandoned American POWs Trapped in Indochina; as President He'll Abandon You

By

Bill Hendon & John LeBoutillier

Ed. note: This message from former U.S. Congressmen Bill Hendon (R-NC) and John LeBoutillier (R-NY) is being posted today on numerous military blogs and websites.

~~~~~~~~~~

He has told me several times over the years that the myth of live POWs was a cruel hoax on the families. He chaired hearings into the issue in the 1990s and found nothing. “The committee … pored over thousands of records and every claim of a sighting, no matter how outlandish,” says Salter. “It was all untrue.”

McCain's Achilles heel is of course his Senate ethics commitee censure over being part of the Keating 5. So - how does this stack up with Rezko, Obama's AH?

March 8, 2005
Revisiting The Keating 5
In order to understand John McCain's present circumstances, it may be helpful to recall his entry into the Senate, tarnished with scandal over the savings and loan system collapse in the late 1980s. John McCain had been a recipient of over $100,000 in donations from Charles Keating, the owner of Lincoln Savings and Loan and American Continental Corporation. Keating used the S&L to float out bad bonds in ACC, resulting in a $2 billion loss and bailout from the FSLIC and the loss of millions of dollars to ordinary shareholders in ACC.

McCain ran interference for Keating, as the Arizona Republic's Bill Muller wrote:
In 1982, during McCain's first run for the House, Keating held a fund-raiser for him, collecting more than $11,000 from 40 employees of American Continental Corp. McCain would spend more than $550,000 to win the primary and the general election. In 1983, during McCain's second House race, Keating hosted a $1,000-a-plate dinner for McCain, though he had no serious competition and coasted into his second term. When McCain pushed for the Senate in 1986, Keating was there with more than $50,000.
By 1987, McCain had received about $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. ...
The first meeting, on April 2 in DeConcini's office, included Ed Gray, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, as well as four senators: DeConcini, McCain, Alan Cranston, D-Calif., and John Glenn, D-Ohio. ... The second meeting was on April 9. The same four senators attended, along with Sen. Don Riegle, D-Mich. Also at the meeting were William Black, then deputy director of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp., James Cirona, president of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and Michael Patriarca, director of agency functions at the FSLIC.
In a recent interview with The Republic, Black said the meeting was a show of force by Keating, who wanted the senators to pressure the regulators into dropping their case against Lincoln. The thrift was in trouble for violating ''direct investment'' rules, which prohibited S&Ls from taking large ownership positions in various ventures.
''The Senate is a really small club, like the cliche goes,'' Black said. ''And you really did have one-twentieth of the Senate in one room, called by one guy, who was the biggest crook in the S&L debacle.'' ... ''They presented themselves as a group,'' Black said, ''and DeConcini is the dad, who's going to take the primary speaking role. Both meetings are in his office, and in both cases it's 'we' want this, with no one going, 'What do you mean we, kemo sabe?' ''
And in both meetings, the message from one-twentieth of the Senate was clear: Keating needed to get special treatment. McCain would later argue that he was just looking out for his constituent, but the five Senators made it plain that they wanted the investigation to end immediately if Lincoln could not be charged with any violations at the time. John Glenn in particular made it plain that regulators needed to act or pack it up, and DeConcini insisted that their intervention on behalf of Lincoln was proper to protect an employer who had promised to clean up if left alone.

These meetings eventually became public as federal regulators, two years later and an untold millions of dollars lost to investors and the FSLIC, finally closed down Lincoln Savings and charged Charles Keating with fraud. The damage done to the five varied; Cranston never ran again for public office, while McCain managed to reinvent himself as a crusader -- but some forget that it wasn't just the campaign contributions that Keating made which tied him so closely to the "maverick" Arizona Senator:
On Oct. 8, 1989, The Republic revealed that McCain's wife and her father had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. The paper also reported that the McCains, sometimes accompanied by their daughter and baby-sitter, had made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard the American Continental jet. Three of trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay.
McCain also did not pay Keating for the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln. Total cost: $13,433.
And when the Arizona Republic made these connections public, McCain erupted in one of his characteristic outbursts that earned him the sobriquet Senator Hothead:
''You're a liar,''' McCain snapped Sept. 29 when a Republic reporter asked him about business ties between his wife and Keating. ''That's the spouse's involvement, you idiot,'' McCain said later in the same conversation. ''You do understand English, don't you?'' He also belittled the reporters when they asked about his wife's ties to Keating. ''It's up to you to find that out, kids.''
And then he played the POW card. ''Even the Vietnamese didn't question my ethics,'' McCain said.
Eventually, the Senate Ethics Committee wound up giving McCain and Glenn the least of the censures it handed down to the Keating 5, rebuking them for "poor judgment" while inflicting no punishment. The Keating collapse wound up costing taxpayers and investors a total of $3.4 billion, a number that could have been mitigated substantially had the five not interfered with the regulatory agency's investigation of Keating.
Now, what exactly has changed? McCain has intervened on behalf of a contributor -- an indirect contributor, to be sure, but one solicited by and benefitting his chief political advisor for a group that closely allies itself to McCain and his agenda and heavily promotes the Senator. Within weeks this intervention, the contributor cut a six-figure check solicited by Rick Davis. The only changes to the Keating scenarios are that McCain learned to put a buffer or two between the money and himself and that he acted alone to intervene with a regulatory agency on their behalf.
This activity is what McCain promised he'd correct, first when he apologized for his role in the S&L scandal, and later when he assaulted the First Amendment and limited political speech during election campaigns. In other words, nothing has changed except McCain's pomposity and hypocrisy.

Willard will be McCain pick for VP. Seems like a great fit for him, they both love not showing up for work. When Willard was the governor of Mass he was out of the state 219 days in his final year. http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2006/12/25/repor...

If Willard is elected VP expect him to be out of the country bashing it to the rest of the world, because that is what he spent his final year as MA govenor doing - traveling all around the US increasing his brand image by bashing Massachusetts. Real noble work that Willard "Mitt" Romney did for MA.

So the McSame campaign has come down to this:

Who cares if my felony drug offending, cookie recipe stealing, jet owning, Mother Teresa scamming trollop makeup c**t wife owns a bunch of mansions? I was a POW.

And who cares if I lie and cheat about crosses, Keating, campaign financing, “cone of silence”, Obama, lobbyists, and values? I was a POW.

McSame is still a POW, IMO.

He is a lousy Piece Of W. And we all know who and what W is.

As in, "Man, I can’t believe I just stepped in that pile of W.”

Or “Don’t feed me that W.”

Or, in the immortal words of Richard Brautigan (adjusted for topic), “There is some W I will not eat.”

The Buzz: The way we Reid this is Joe’s still got a home

Steve Schmidt, McCain’s combative senior adviser, calls himself a “raging moderate.”

Supposedly, it bothers Schmidt to be called a protege of Karl Rove’s, and he is unequivocal about saying this is his last campaign:

“The Internet has created a wave of venom that is very disturbing. … People who run these campaigns have become targets very directly. Who needs it?”

It's really quite something to hear Schmidt, waging a nasty character assassination campaign against Obama, complaining about getting HIS feelings hurt.

Sounds to me like he said, "Bring It On!"

That site is very useful, as a matter of fact if you don't go there to check out most of what is claimed in the negative or positive about ANY campaigner or elected official you will be listening to mostly lies.

Check out the site, it is updated on an hour by hour basis and has many surprising information.

Amici felici della lettura e cari Americani,

Raygun (Reagan) and GHWB retread Peggy Noonhan is on the WSJ spreading Rovian love and the daily RNC talking points about Sen. Barrack Obama.

An attractive, intelligent man, interesting, but—he's hard to categorize.

(but the RNC and Rove are trying desperately to make him scary)

Is he Gen. Obama? No, no military background.

Sorry Barrack didn't spend five years in some bamboo love shack making home movies for the NVA, or shacked up at the Hanoi Hilton with some whores.
And Barrack didnt drop Napalm on women and children for the MIC either.

Brilliant Businessman Obama? No, he never worked in business.

So no history of Republican corruption, like McCain and S&L, Enron et al.

Famous Name Obama? No, it's a new name, an unusual one.

Scary non WASP name. (screams and runs for the hills)

Longtime Southern Governor Obama? No. He's a community organizer (what's that?)

OMFG so hes not one of the former slave owning families !
Then community sounds scary, almost Panther like or even average voter like...

then a lawyer (boo),

Actually a constitutional lawyer and professor.

then a state legislator (so what, so's my cousin)

This means people know, trust and vote for him, its not the usual rubber stamp election, and voter suppression (caging) by a Repug.

then U.S. senator (less than four years!)

Everybody has to start somewhere, and being newish and POTUS material and having got this far, means he is considered good by a lot of people.

So sorry Peggy, go back to your faded misty dreams of Reagan and the golden era,
"a kinder, gentler nation" S&L and BCCI 80s 90s style yes we remember.
“read my lips; no new taxes” just the usual Republican recession and economic meltdown.
And who could forget the classic "a thousand points of light" echoes of the rout and carnage at the Basra road, a typical Republican overkill and war crime.

Name one intelligent conversation you have had with a republican in the last 8 years. I can't think of one. All they have is what Rush, Sean or one of the other talking heads have brainwashed them with. Not one common sense answer to anything.

name one good Republican policy or something they actually did right.
and the normal running of the country without an economic meltdown or recession depression is considered proper, not a bonus...
Everything that surrounds the Republican party or anything they touch turns to sh1t,

So the McSame campaign has come down to this:

Who cares if my felony drug offending, cookie recipe stealing, jet owning, Mother Teresa scamming trollop makeup c**t wife owns a bunch of mansions? I was a POW.

And who cares if I lie and cheat about crosses, Keating, campaign financing, “cone of silence”, Obama, lobbyists, and values? I was a POW.

McSame is still a POW, IMO.

He is a lousy Piece Of W. And we all know who and what W is.

As in, "Man, I can’t believe I just stepped in that pile of W.”

Or “Don’t feed me that W.”

Or, in the immortal words of Richard Brautigan (adjusted for topic), “There is some W I will not eat.”

"Only child" Cindy McCain canceled her half-sister's credit card that Dad had paid, while the sister was in town for their Dad's funeral.

Cindy got $100,000,000. Sis got $10,000 (one ten-thousandth of Cindy). And Cindy decided to steal drugs from her charity rather than pay cash for them.

Do they really want to go there?

That doesn't even get into the other half-sister on her mother's side.

Is this a US election, or The Young and the Restless?

Because take note that even after the bumbling old man needed his "staff" to check the real estate...it's being played (even on NPR) as Obama attacking McSame...he may as well get it on!

Rocha, 16, who moves with the seasons in search of ripe plants, says warmer temperatures are responsible for her early start this year -- about a month earlier than last. Farmers are also reporting high-altitude plants are maturing at times more typical of their low-land counterparts. "The seasons are changing tremendously. You can no longer say winter is in November, December or March. It falls in other months sometimes," said Cesar Rivas, president of the national growers' group. "This is generating complete productive disorder," he said.

ExxonJohn "Keating 5" McBush gets the best defense money can buy - http://politicalirony.com/2008/08/22/mccain-buys-defense/
In this CNN report on McCain, McCain defends his role in the Keating Five scandal by quoting special investigator Bob Bennett. However, he fails to point out that McCain had already hired Bennett as his lawyer when Bennett made those remarks. That’s one hell of a revolving door — hiring the prosecutor who was supposed to be investigating you.

McBush 'doesn’t know' how many houses he own - http://politicalirony.com/2008/08/21/mccain-doesnt-know-how-many-houses-...
Politico now reports that the McCains own at least eight homes, and five of them were purchased in the last four years. Not only that, but the McCains increased their budget for “household employees” to $273,000 in 2007, according to their tax returns — more each year for servants than the median sales price for a home in the US ($215,000).
Remember that in 2004 the Bush campaign blasted John Kerry and his wife for owning five homes. And a few days earlier, McCain said his threshold for considering someone rich is $5 million.

When we think about the middle class, we tend to think of Americans whose lives are decent but not luxurious: they have houses, cars and health insurance, but they still worry about making ends meet, especially when the time comes to send the kids to college.
Meanwhile, when we think about the rich, we tend to think about the handful of people who are really, really rich — people with servants, people with so much money that, like Mr. McCain, they don’t know how many houses they own. (Remember how Republicans jeered at John Kerry for being too rich?)
ExxonJohn....doesn't know how to use a computer, doesn't know how to 'get' to the Internet...thinks $5million makes someone rich....hey, how much does his haircut cost?

INSANE: McCain's Plan to Privatize Veterans' Health Care: by Aaron Glantz - http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=43626
If John McCain is elected the next U.S. president, wounded veterans could be in for a world of hurt. On the campaign trail, the Republican's presumptive nominee has talked of a new mission for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and argued that veterans with non-combat medical problems should be given vouchers to receive care at private, for-profit hospitals -- in other words, an end to the kind of universal health care the government has guaranteed veterans for generations.
FIVE ALARM ALERT TO ANY VETERANS VOTING: Well, we've seen the 'miracle' of 'free market' privatization of Walter Reed (Lockheed Martin accounting anyone, anyone?)...so now imagine that failure on the entire VA scale....in other words if you're a veteran and you're voting for John McSame...you may want to be committed first.
Let me help out the 'older' generation here...a simple message for ExxonJohn McBush: "Keep your hands off our Social Security & VA"

Harold Meyerson - Obama's Factory Factor - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/20/AR200808...
"When you compare Obama's economic positions to those of John McCain, this should be no contest. McCain has supported every offshoring, free-trade accord, past or pending, that has decimated the Midwest; Obama has expressed skepticism that such accords serve the interest of ordinary Americans.
Obama further supports making it easier for workers to join unions, giving tax credits to companies that create jobs stateside and enacting a "green jobs" public investment strategy that, if large enough and explicitly committed to domestic production, could help revive the Rust Belt. But positions are one thing and narratives something else."

BTW, I think what's really amusing about the pullout is that, assuming it happens, we'll still be there for over half a year while we're threatening Putin.

A U.S. warship will on Friday head into the Black Sea -- an area where Russia is sensitive about the presence of NATO forces -- to deliver relief supplies to Georgia, the U.S. navy said

This should get interesting. I assume the "U.S. warship" will attempt to dock at Poti, currently occupied by Russian troops.

In addition, 2 US carriers and their entourage of support ships, plus some British warships are sailing into the Persian Gulf region. There's already one US carrier group there and some are speculating that it will be leaving the station, leaving the 2 that are arriving. Perhaps they are about to strat up the threatened "blockade" of Iran, or just be i nthe area to provide support after Israel boms the Iranian nuke sites. we'll see.

You really have to hand it to the right-wing attack machine: They've successfully transformed exercising and eating healthy food from admirable habits into crippling character flaws. It seems that in modern America, being fat, drunk and stupid is a good way to go through life."
