2. similar attack ads aimed at hispanics, saying O is against immigration, etc....to wit, rethugs now claim 25% of New Mexico hispanic vote

1. I don't know if anything can be done about it.
Targeting specific ads in specific markets is not a crime.

I'm sure they're full of lies, and I wish there were laws about that and if there are we should do something.

But the demographic focus is just strategic and legal.

2. mccain has a lot of lying ads running here too - central florida
even after they were disproved in the news - they don't care - they have learned from rove and bush that lie and keep telling the lie and eventually the public believes it is true - how many people still think iraq had anything to do with 911
